Assuming I understand it properly, say you have perwitte.me.uk as your domain name. You are asked what this should point to physically - say it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's a bit like DEV or SUB in some ways, the system seems to sort out that anyone who enters www.perwitte.me.uk in their browser actually gets sent to www.per.tsicali.co.uk (OK, imaginary names but hopefully clear what I mean). I did toy with getting my own domain earlier this year then found myself out of work so never picked up on the idea. I could presumably have stuck with Tesco.net as the ISP and had dilwyn.net or something like that (forgot which version was available, there's a Dilwyn Jones in Cambridge Uni who writes books on Egyptian boats or something, he seeems to have got my first choice of domain name, and there was me thinking that with an unusual Welsh name like mine I could have got dilwyn.net, dilwynjones.net or any permutations thereof! (Want to know more...enter "Dilwyn"+"Jones" into any search engine, he comes up first and you can get his books from Amazon too).
