ive built a site using geo cities, so ive got a sub domain,
i want a my own; .co.uk-.com etc.
i know where to get it from but how do i redirect it from my sub domain

Try www.ukreg.com , cheap as chips... you just log into the ukreg and give it the geocities site address and it will point all users there. UKREG don't provide a managed DNS service although you can pick this up from www.zoneedit.com, you will probably need this if you want to move your website to a better web server, create a parent (A) host and WWW a host and point them to the IP of your new server, then you can use your domain name properly, eg. http://www.yourdomain.com/stuff/pic.jpg , where as with pointing it to a geocities web site, you can't do that, it only knows to redirect to the browser to that main page you specify either with a refresh (which wil then display the geocities address in the URL bar) or by nesting your site within a 100%x100% frame.....

all i want is for the domain to redirect and apear in the address bar

Try www.cjb.net ,maybe not the redirecting from geocities to this domain, more like the other way round
But at least you can have a better looking URL, like "www.whatever.cjb.net"

As far as I am aware this normally done by the company you register the domain with. Easyspace charge about £12 for a cloaked redirect, this will leave http://www.yourdomain.com in the address bar, whilst dispalying the contents of your geosites webpage.

Free redirects with them once you buy a domain name. Cheap as chips too.

www.mydomain.com

Use it for the Karloff site. Free, rarely any ads or popups.

UK Reg is good. Simple go into the control panel for the domain and set it up to redirect to the location of your page, prefereably in a framed window so it keeps your stuff in the tittle bar. Works fine with practically everything, though can create some issues with php based application.
