If you store it on geocities free web service, it will ALWAYS have www.geocities.com in front of it. Its like saying I live at 99 Some St. But I dont like the Some St part so can I please change my address to 99?	Guest (0)

It's quite handy in case you change site hosts but still want to keep your website name the same - all you do is change the info on the redirection site. I use http://url4life.com but there are plenty more out there if you do a search in Google.	Guest (0)
