Need some quick advice about email
My hosting account will run out soon, but on my reseller i have a website that i have been managing for a friend. I have successfully moved it to another server which im just going to frame forward the URL - meaning that the URL is mapped to a directory on the other server, but its framed so the URL always stays the same.
That was all good until i realised that the emails will not get sent once the hosting has finished. Is there a way to forward them on somehow??? Or anyone know some cheap email hosting?

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).

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 [email protected] 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.

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