Depends on the Host pf that Domain Name.

Some let you set this up ... such as 123reg.co.uk, which is known as Web Forwarding. My Site...

http://www.gta-vice-city.co.uk

... is from 123reg.co.uk and use Web Forwading to point to ...

http://www.haignet.co.uk/ViceCity/index.php?Sub=Home

Some don't have the 'Web Forwarding' feaure, such as Freeola. In this case you can simply Upload a php Script to tell the Browser where you want the address to point to.

So, if you had http://www.alelj17.co.uk hosted at Freeola, but you wanted it to goto http://www.cjh.com you would just need to Upload this PHP code (named index.php) to your Freeola Space



.. and that would have the same effect as Web Fowrading.

The one I bought was paid for two years, and needs to be paid for every two years to keep active.

Something like £6 for two years. That's what I did for my Vice City Site.

I bought the Domain for £6 and have it pointing to my Web Site, which is hosted at freeola. www.gta-vice-city.co.uk uses the Web Forwarding to point to the actual site at www.haignet.co.uk/ViceCity/.

My Domain Name www.haignet.co.uk is hosted with Freeola.

.net's and .com's are more expensive than .co.uk's

.co.uk's are the £6 ones. Either that or they have increased their Prices.
