Use the Search link at the top , you will find a ton of results that tell you what
you need in order to change your IP to a Named Address , hope this helped.
Note: You can also have a look at the FAQ for answers.

you need masked domain forwarding. It will basically hide your URL behind a domain name that you select. You basically have two choices:
1. You can purchase a domain name that has masked forwarding through a number of companies. Stay away from yahoo's domain service! If you want a .com, .net, .org, .biz etc domain, you pretty much have to go this route. You can usually find these services pretty cheap. I pay 4.95 per year for mine.
2. There are a number of providers out there that will give you masked domain forwarding for free. Some of them have popup's, some require that you have a link back to their site on your main page, and some dont require anything at all. I personally like http://www.freedomain.co.nr. They require a small linked image back to their page but its pretty discrete and not much to ask for basically free product. You can also check out [url=http://www.freewebsiteproviders.com/domain-forwarding.htm ]this page[/url], which has a list of free providers and their requirements. |

I personally find dyndns.org better, especiall if you have a dynamic IP because it updates quicker, and it's more reliable _________________ Boycott sigs. |
