I have just noticed on FreeParking.co.uk that they are now offering domain masking https://www.freeparking.co.uk/default.asp?f=9 I don't know how effective this is though!

LOL

Best option really would be to host it else where then and either pay for space so that domain is shown at all times or forward to some other free space but you'll get the same problem. If you do change it though keep the page that's shown on the SE's with a redirect to the new location until you get that in the SE's instead.

Whoops, the cat's out of the bag!
Yes WM I have both Sites and as Nicky Campbell is somewhat of a hate-figure among DB fans I'm sure you can understand the dilemma.

Basically if you use free space with a domain name forwarded to it then this will happen. The best way around it would be to pay for actual webspace using the domain, which is preferable for the search engines as then they can crawl all your pages and display results accordingly eg. yourdomain.com/radio.html or whatever.

The other way is to use a frameset so that the index page is the frameset and all the pages display within the frame and the url displayed on the browser remains as the domain name. Draw backs of this is that the search engines will possibly still display the freespace url (although you can force the browser to display the page in the frame when clicked on from a search engine) and framesets aren't particaularly SE friendly.
