Does your HIWAAY account include an IP number for your website? If it
does not, I don't think you can do it without a kludge (like the frame
hiding trick you mentioned). You need to have the DNS resolve to an IP
number where your website is.
There are a lot of web hosting sites that will provide you with an IP
number. I've never priced them (since I run my own server) but I guess
that you might be able to find one in the $10/month range as long as
your bandwidth and storage needs are low enough.
