Setting up a domain, but not a website

[_Deano]

Looking into this for a client and they require the following:

Own domain so that they can have their own email address, not [e-mail], but they have no need for a website.
I've looked on Register1.net and i think that i need domain parking, but i'm not sure.
can anyone let me know what i should be recommending to the client so that they can have the above?
thanks

If they just want to forward some / all emails to another address elsewhere, then yes the Register1 free parking (default option) will do just what they need.

So with this they can obtain their own domain www.somethinghere.co.uk and then have this running on the Register1.net server and then have their a new email address setup so that they can have [e-mail] and also have their old email [e-mail] also forwarded to [e-mail]?

Not quite.

On the free system:

They have www.theirdomain.com, it either goes nowhere, or forward to their existing space (ie users.ntl.com/~ilikecare247/website)
They can also have [e-mail] (or [e-mail]) forward to their existing [e-mail] address.

If they want US to host their email and Website they simply need to select one of the VDS Hosting plans (from £33pa)

Hope this clarifies things

Is it just a dns domain you are setting up or an AD one?

Arent they forests now

I think given the context it's being used in, we can safely assume it's a real domain.. not some M$ abomination of the word

Was going to suggest the pop connector but would have been a poor sugestion..

OT:

just domains, unless you have more than one and then they are trees, forrest create trust between trees..
