Thank you Aeden, In order to use a domain such as www.chetcuti.mt, you need to register it with the registrar for the TLD .mt. Some places can do this for as low as 5.99/year. From there, you choose who does the DNS hosting, or you can do it yourself, provided you have static IP addresses, unless you use one of a dozen different dynamic dns services. I hope this helps clarify things. -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588
