Arrow Website hosting help

I just wondered if anyone can help me out here? My wife is starting up a business and has purchased a www. address but has not at this time got a host. All she needs right now is a host for the new www that will redirect people to her main site.

Can anyone suggest a cheap way of doing this?

Thanks,
Dave.

Might check godaddy.com They seem to have a large array of options. Also futurequest.com

As far as a DNS/Mail setup I would recommend 1and1.com. They are one of the largest shared service providers and usually can rock a provided domain name with full email for 4.95/mo.

godaddy.com is cheap and full of goodies. So is hostonce.com, but the servers are a little slow from time to time.

1and1 blows. If it's a business I would suggest pair.com for your hosting.
In hosting more than anything else you get what you pay for. (list me as a referrer )

I don't understand what she's asking to do, but if you have website www.1.com and want that to forward to www.2.com it's quite easy to add a forward in the .htaccess file in www.1.com so it does that instantly, or you can set domain forwarding with your registrant.

Thanks for your assistance. I'll check out the host sites, and thanks Phil I figured that forwarding issue out also.
As always nice to have friends to offer advice!!!
