Thanks Rupert

I use 123-reg and do exactly this.

Log in, choose the domain, click manage domain.
In the menu that appears, click Manage DNS
Add appropriate A records pointing www and any other subdomains at your IP.
Remember to remove any web forwarding you have set up on that domain.

Tom I tried your advice but it did not work.

123-reg does not allow one to opt out of web forwarding as such. There is an option for "No web forwarding" but this will compulsorily point to 123-Reg default page if anyone typing isinglive.co.uk into a web browser.

There is only a real choice between framed or non-framed forwarding.
- Framed forwarding will only show a fixed url of your choice e.g. http://isinglive.co.uk. - Non-framed forwarding will show the host address e.g. http:// 80.189.101.120/isinglive/.

In this circumstance I do not want to use non-framed forwarding because some browser (IE) creates an alert message warning the browser that the web address is non standard.

How have you been able to overcome this with 123-reg?

Ideally I want the 80.189.101.120 part of the url to be replaced with isinglive.co.uk in the browser.

Thanks Rupert
