UKreg Cname problem

[tangenta]

Hi
I'm doing a website in iWeb and it's all ready to go. Have registered the domain name with UKreg and I can't seem to put the right bits into the CNAME bit - it asks for 'host name' and then 'points to' - I don't know what to put... any help out there?
Thanks!

points to= web.me.com

Correct. WWW is the hostname portion of the url. For example, http://www.yahoo.com essentially tells the browser to go to the server named "www" at the domain "yahoo.com".

thanks sonic - you are a star!! it's all so simple (ok, obvious) really, but if no one tells you, how do you know... really appreciate your help as this has driven me round the bend all day.
