Most ISPs will do this for around 25 dollars but I had registered
coworkers.co.uk via register.com so I was able to change the IP address the
name resolved to using the Manage My Account option. Maybe you're not
supposed to be able to do this, but it worked. You need to tell the ISP if
you want the mail address to work with other domain names, but I don't need
that facility yet.

When I was looking for a new ISP, most didn;t mention this possibility
because they would like you to purchase a separate account for each domain.
It was on iNNERHOST's web site that I saw the 25 dollar per domain offer.
Euroserve offered to match it and I suppose most ISPs will.

By the way, I would recommend iNNERHOST to anyone who needs a reliable ISP
that supports ASP and SQL/Server. They also give you 30% commission when
you host client sites with them.
