Once you have mithellbrown.ca hosted somewhere, this index.html file
should redirect them properly:
This loads the actual site in a frame so that end users actually see
mitchellbrown.ca

<html>
<head>
<title>Site Title</title>
</head>
<frameset frameborder=0 framespacing=0 border=0 rows="100%,*" noresize>
            <frame name="TOPFRAME" src="http://members.shaw.ca/example";
noresize>
        </frameset>
        </html>
