So does your hosting company own your domain? Why can't you move domain1.com to your new host?

I will explain again...actually i think i have found a tempary solution. Well my hosting for domain1.com has run out, so i needed to carry on hosting the website. So i made a copy of the site and moved it to the hosting account of domain2.com in a directory off the root.

I then forwarded the domain1.com to actually go to domain2.com/domain1 but in the address bar it will still say domain1.com because it is framed.

So that was ok, but then i got worried because the email wont work because me@domain1.com doesnt work, the hosting account has run out.

But my solution is that you can actually just forward the email from 123-reg control panel.

All a bit long winded, i sorted it for now but i hope you understand my explaination.

I'm not understanding the concept of "frame forward the URL", but I do know that frames should generally be avoided.

When you move a site from one server to another, all you have to so is change the nameservers on the domain name, and the site visitors won't notice the difference (except the brief downtime when it switches).
