Hi Julie.

The company that you registered the domain with will have some way to enable you to do this. They should have sent you an email with instructions what to do when your domain was registered. Have a look through your emails to see if there is one.

Failing that, go to that company's website and look for a "control panel" or something similar. You will have to log in with a username and password that you will have been sent when you registered. Once in the control panel, there will be options to re-direct email addresses and website addresses. These are usually very straightforward - or at least should be if you have chosen a decent Domain host. Just follow the instructions.

Unfortunately, because all these companies do things slightly differently, there are not any more specific instructions anyone can give you. Use their Help option if necessary.

Often, the company hosting your domain name will also be able to provide you with web space where you can keep your website. This may be free, or may require additional payment. The domain name will then automatically link to that web space. All you need to do is publish your website to that space. If you decide to keep your website elsewhere, then you will have to use the control panel to redirect the users to wherever that happens to be.

Hope this makes some sense and is of help. If you need to know more, we can provide domain names and web hosting and recommend one or two reliable companies that do this. Please email me at website@horsedrivingtrials.co.uk

Is there anyone out there that could talk me through 'pointing' my Domain name at my website please. I have built the site but don't know how to get my web address linked to it. Thanks
