Hi,

Guys, I don't have much knowledge about dns and all. what i am accpecting is that simply a dnsNo should forward to my site.
All the sites you have mention are too confusing, they never end. It's been 2 hours to configure what to do.
Here's a site that does it for $20 a year. Not a bad price. I'll kepp looking for a free one.

http://www.ireg.com/fwd.htm
Here is a free one. Your site name will be something like www.mysitename.cjb.net

http://www.cjb.net/
Here is another one. It gives you numerous options for the name such as yoursite.main-page.com

http://www.cybername.net/
Hi again,
I really don't want forwarding subdomain names actually what i want to do is that site does not show the url of the web space provider instead showing an IP or something(i don't know much).
do you already own a domain or plan on registering one?  

http://www.easydns.com provides a cheap and VERY easy to use DNS management service.  you don't need any prior knowledge.
If you can get ahold of space on an Apache server (very common), try Uploading this to your upload directory:

[Name it ".htaccess" (no quotes)]
Redirect /subdirectory/to/forward http://12.112.212.51
[End of File (Dont include these lines)]

If the server's security allows this, any call to:
http://webserver.com/subdirectory/to/forward/mydir/mypage.html

would map to

http://12.112.212.51/mydir/mypage.html


Hope this helps!

What is your free service? geocities.com is IP 209.1.225.217, but using it causes a Geocities error page.. (Even to http://209.1.225.217/ )

angelfire.com, can be replaced with 216.33.20.4 successfully.. So:
http://www.angelfire.com/de/truck/
is the same as
http://216.33.20.4/de/truck/

(This site was the 'spotlight' site at the time.. Not mine nor had I ever heard of it.. Just an example..)

The trick to try this at other free webpage providers is:

Find someones current webpage, as the above de/truck..
In Windows, do Start -> Run    "ping angelfire.com"
after one "ping", hit the select button (dotted box) and select the IP address (216.33.20.4), click the copy button (two pages), and then paste that address to replace the domain-based URL.. If you do this at other free sites, I'm sure you'll find some work, others don't, and this _should_ be closer to an answer than my last comment :)

try dhs.org
u can get a name like name.2y.net or name.wox.org or others.  all it will do is change the name to an ip

sjehanzeb,

If you own the domain name (ie yourdomain.com) then either

a) the company that you registered the domain with should provide framed forwarding ... where u get to keep the domain name in the link.

b) transfer it for free to another company that does this ... http://www.123-reg.co.uk/affiliate.cgi?id=AF55908

Hope it helps
