    Well first you have to by the domain name. I myself use
    http://www.hostway.com for domains at 6.95/yr.
    If you are going to have the domain hosted then you would load a page that
    has a simple redirect tag in it so when it's hit it redirects to the other
    url.
    If all you want is the name only and have no hosting for it then you simple
    order the domain from a registrar that offers forwarding and have the domain
    forwarded.
    For example visit http://www.davidbartosik.org
    You'll find it forwards to davidbartosik.com
    The latter being the real hosted site, the prior being a domain name ordered
    from Hostway and Hostway at no cost forwards for me.
    Try the .net version too.

    Some registrars charge for forwards. Some charge for a masked forward which
    is framing. For example visit http://www.barvin.net - it loads barvin.com but
    the URL remains barvin.net.
