Thanks for the replies.

If you mean, you will have 2 domain names running across the same site - then you're talking about duplicate content and should expect at least one (at random) to drop from any search index.

If you're talking about redirecting a domain name to a unique site, then that's fine.

Don't really know what is being done - I just went to my control panel and ....
I have these options:

This part of the control panel allows you to modify the web forwarding for your domain name.

Framed web-forwarding to a single page

If you select web-forwarding to a single page the destination URL can have a specific filename on the end (e.g. index.htm).
It could just point to a directory (URL ends with /) in which case the files displayed would depend on the webserver 'directory index' settings.
The destination URL will be replaced by broadbandprovidersuk.co.uk.

Non-framed web-forwarding to a single page

This option is the same as above however the destination URL will always be displayed in the address bar of the browser.

Framed web-forwarding

The destination URL will be replaced by broadbandprovidersuk.co.uk

Non-framed web-forwarding

The destination URL will remain in the browser's address bar.

++++++++++++++++++++++

I have selected the last option - and if you type in
http://www.broadbandprovidersuk.co.uk/

it takes you to this domain for which i have created a website:
http://www.broadband-providers-uk.co.uk/

How can I tell if this is an OK redirection?
