Help needed with domain name transfer

Hi I recently set up a forum http://z13.invisionfree.com/pedigreecatchat/index.php?act=idx I then purchased a domain name from UK2.net. I've read on here that in order to transfer the domain name to my forum that I need to change the CNAME I would have to pay UK2.net a yearly charge to be allowed to make do this. I looked into transferring the domain name to my website server but they seem not to even allow you the option of changing the CNAME. My webserver is Fasthosts. Any idea how to get around all this without it costing me yearly or megabucks please? Thank you for your help

Unfortunately, using a CNAME record is the only way to fully integrate your domain with your board. However, domains are generally very cheap - GoDaddy, for example, is less than $10 a year. :)

Thank you for your reply :) So do all companies charge a dns management fee or have I just been unlucky enough to buy the domain name from the wrong company?? If so I would be better buying another domain name?

Almost all companies that offer DNS management like this do charge, yes.

There are a few free ones, such as Co.CC. :)
