asked on

DNS redirect requirements.

I have a friend who will offer me some streaming web space for a temporary project.  My content will be hosted somewhere like

www.affordableconsulting.com/polling

but I want to register a domain name like

www.thepoll.info

for users to get to my content.

What is the minimum that  I need to do ?

I know I will have to register the new domain.  Do I actually have to get a host for it just to perform the redirect to the other site, or can the registrar do it as part of the records of the domain ?  (Baby steps please.)

Thanks,
Kevin

Also remember that, if you did go for zoneedit for instance, the streaming load would add to your bandwidth allocation as zoneedit gives about 200k for dns lookups and streaming media lookups.

As to the rest I totally concur with humeniuk.
