host.username.com/mypage.htm - www.mydomain.com/mypage.htm ?

How would one go about implementing this?

At the moment my site is, say: 'besthosting.mysite.com'

That becomes: 'www.username.com' at the fowarding panel of my registrar.

How would the pages on the site, example 'besthosting.username.com/news.htm' become 'www.mysite.com/news.htm' ?

'besthosting.username.com/articles/123654.htm' become 'www.mysite.com/articles/123654.htm' etc.

If you can clear my confusion up, that would be great.

Can you give us some real examples so we can make sure we undertand what you are saying?

Generally most people have "somename.somehost.com". When they get a domain like "mydomain.com", they want their site to appear there. The way this happens is that somehost.com would have to provide you with a way to host your domain on their system, and then they would point the domain to your current site files.

Or you could set up domain re-direction at your registrar. You would setup mydomain to "point" or redirect to "somename.somehost.com". Both will work, but the first is better in my opinion.
