I have the lease on a couple of domains and want to now get a hosting plan.
Hostinger offer a 'free' domain for a year with a good value startup plan.
Can anyone advise please whether it is possible to take the free domain but then use a different domain that I've rented for the website name?
I'd want the other domains to redirect to this actual website name.
Thanks

Probably better asking their support. But another option is checking out Krystal hosting who I'm with. They are very good, UK based and their support is the best I've come across.2

Thanks @joeypesci I'll have a look at them.0

Avoid 123-reg. We transferred our domain hosting away from them and they still charged us to renew it several months later! Won't give a refund or explain themselves. Subsequently, we can't even use the email forwarding without incurring a charge of £35+ per year.1

^ well that sucks, @Intrepid_Wilson; hope you get some justice there
I ended upgoing with Godaddy website builder when they had a sale. Full package with a microsoft business email address (using the website domain), and fast unlimited hosting for £86 in the first year and probably double that in subsequent years0
