I've set up a new web site for an organisation style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />If you transfer the domain to 1and1 it will affect the emails, as you will need to recreate the mailboxs which will also require new mailserver settings, normally pop.1and1.co.uk & auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk and a password (but you can keep that the same) - so you would have to add the new settings to your clients email program. Depending how computer literate your client is this would be a better option as the domain is in your control, but there's normally a fee attached to transferring domains.<br /><br />You may be able to setup a domain forwarder, there are 2 types, Frame Forwarding and Standard Forwarding - Frame forwarding will keep the domain ending org.uk in the address bar but display the .co.uk content in the browser. Standard forwarding re-directs the users to .co.uk when someone types in .org.uk.<br /><br />This would be done at the domain registrants end (not 1and1), by making the domain a forwarder their current email setup can be left intact.<br /><br />I hope that helps.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br /><img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
<br />Thanks - I didn't know about frame forwarding - it might just be the answer i'm looking for!<br /> <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
is it an apache server and do you have access to use htaccess files? You could use that and it would be better than frames but if not you'll have to do frames.<!--content-->

The forwarding options would be at the domain registrar of the .org.uk domain so if you have access to that you can have a look around in the control panel, if not you may have to ask your client.<br /><br />You could just transfer the domain to 1and1 and then charge the transfer fee to your client. Then you could re-create the emails and then you would be done, plus you would have control over the domain.<br /><br />Let me know how u get style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
