Really basic question

[Ducati]

I'm sure this is pretty basic for experienced guys, but maybe you can help me figure out how to go about this.

Here's what I've got.

1) I'm going to register a domain name (let's say www.ducatispage.net).

2) I have free webspace from my ISP.

Now the address for my free webspace with Bellsouth is like www.bellsouth/users/blahblah/whatever

How can I host my web page on my free ISP webspace but serve the page to visitors of www.ducatispage.net? Is this possible?

merci.

if you have the option of parking domains in your hosting control panel then you could just park it and then users would be forwarded to your site, if not you can forward the domain from the registrar control panel godaddy etc... to forward to your page.

1) buy domain from a registrar with domain forwarding

2) edit domain to forward to... http://www.bellsouth/users/blahblah/whatever

may take 24-72 hours to begin forwarding

Most likely you have to foward it.

You could contact your ISP and ask them though. I used free ISP webspace for a while, the address was way to long though.
