i need help!

my personal website with my resume in it is called www.vhylynx.net so i realized that it is hard for people to remember.

please tell me how i can have a domain name called www.fsuwarno.com and let people who typed that address in their browser get forwarded to www.vhylynx.net!

and how about email address with my name? and how to make it forwarding every email it accepts to my hotmail account?

thanks biiiiig time

You'll need to purchase the domain name first. Most of the companies you buy names from allow forwarding for HTTP and mail.

Your domain name registrar should provide redirection as part of the basic service. Likewise, email forwarding.

I use http://servercentral.net. I have http://shoutingman.com hosted; I also have http://fischer-net.com registered and they provide a redirection serve as part of the domain registration. I also have a fischer-net email address that is just forwarded to my regular email address.

There are a couple types of domain redirection. One type simply redirects to the alternate domain name; you type in www.fsuwarmo.com and you go to www.vhylynx.net. There is a frames redirect that does the same redirect, but it places the alternate website (vhylynx) in a frame so the browser still displays the original domain name (fsuwarmo.com) as the apparent address.
