Save yourself a load of hassle - steer well clear of uk2.

Most web forwarding is frames-based forwarding - the domain host gives you a frameset page, the source of which comes from wherever your site is really hosted.

This 'works', but is a poor solution. It puts a frameset in the way (of users and search engines) for no good reason.

Your best bet is to buy an entry level domain+web hosting package from one of the many people selling them. I don't particularly want to name names, but there are lots of good ones about. I'm sure some of them will reply to this thread. Look to pay ~£30/year.

Once you have this, you can host your site there, as well as your domain, which removes the need for clumsy forwarding. So all you'd have to do is upload your site to your new web space.
