From what I've heard they're great as long as you know what you're doing, but when things go wrong they really go tits up. But that's the same with many big companies; VM being the perfect example of it.

Lol, to true.
Yea I heard everything is fine with the servers and whatnot, it's when you need support that things tend to go bad.

anyone know what the name servers are for virgin... i have my web space with them and registered a domain name with easily.co.uk.... i need to be able to point that address to my virgin webspace.. any help would be appreciated.

VM don't provide that service, your best bet is to use easily's own nameservers and set up a redirect.

thank you for the response... would you be so kind to briefly descibe how i set up a re-direct?

lookup 'masked web forwarding', easily say they support this function, which you will be able to access through your domain control panel.

Assuming you have your domain using their name servers it should just be a case of entering the address you want to forward to, i.e. your VM homepage addy, and enabling the option.
