Re: Need a new webhost

Then you should be able to do the same with any web host - the "forwarding" part is done by where the domains are parked and redirected and it's irrelevant where you are redirecting too.

I did a similar thing with some domains registered at 123-reg - it didn't work quite as elegantly as you suggest as if you hovered your cursor over a link, you could see it was pointing to http://www.mydomainhosting.co.uk/som....uk/index.html rather than just www.somedomainname.co.uk/index.html if that makes sense, so it wasn't totally transparent (but most users would probably never notice). I used this method to point a few domains to my 200MB of free web space provided by my ISP.

If you want it done properly then you're looking at a resellers account which will cost you £400-500/year upwards for unlimited domains/bandwidth.
