>>>>Hi All,

My customers will have their own domain name pointing to my site and I use that domain name to customize the web site with their contact info. For now, I have my customers point their domain names my site using the IP address. My fear is that I will have to some day change my IP address and then all my customers will have to change their domain names again. I was wondering if there was a way to have my customers point the DM to an alias do I only need to change my alias name's IP instead.

I guess I was asking how to register my own domain name in another domain name :). Then I learned about cname so all is well now.
