text: what is url forwarding? i hold one domain registered on my name i want to do the domain forwarding to www.geocities.com/my name....  please help me how to do it..  my service provider asks for :  aliases   and  host server address...  please tell me what is host server address for www.geocities.com.. and why its not taking www.geocities.com/myname.... if you have a web page set up with a company like xoom.com or geocities.com but you do not have web hosting, you would want to use url forwarding (or framing). when a person types www.yourdomain.com in a browser they will be "forwarded" to your website and the user will not have to remember that long url provided by one of these sites.
