I use a company <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.zoneedit.com" target="_blank">www.zoneedit.com</a> for DNS. I have used them for years, they
are very good. If you setup with them you get a user account and can setup
DNS for your website and make config changes any time you want. You can also
set up an MX record if you wanted to have your own Exchange Server. Anyway
you can configure Web forwarding right there, it is very easy.
