basic help with domain name

I have an ADSL account with F2S that includes 200MB webspace. Since I took this account out I have purchased another domain name from 1&1 and use it for emails, using redirection on the 1&1 site control panel to forward to my F2S email. I would now like to direct my other domain name to my F2S webspace. Looking at the forum everyone talks about the add web site redirect on the F2S members page, I do not have that option on my page. However I do have a DNS redirection option.

Please help

The web site redirect people talk about is for people who have bought their domain name through F2S and so control their domain through the F2S members area. Since you bought your domain through 1&1 you will need to login to the 1&1 Control Panel to set it up.

So to set it up, login to the 1&1 Control Panel and click the Administration link next to your domain, then click Domains. Then put a tick in the box next to your domain and click the down arrow next to Destination and click Edit Destination. Then select Forward Your Domain as the destination and for Forwarding destination enter the address of your F2S free webspace with the http:// bit in front (so it will be something like http://www.accountname.f2s.com). The title you enter will be what appears at the top of the users browser window when they visit your site, and the description and keywords are (partly) what search engines will look at to find out what your site is about.

By the way you are preaching to the converted - use both firefox and thunderbird would no longer even contemplate explorer or outlook.
