Your domain company should have a "control panel" or some such online
tool for you to manage your domain. It is there that you can setup
email addresses, sub-domains (see links below), and redirection.
My ISP (Comcast) subscription gives me 7 email addresses each of which
has 25 Mb of Web page storage space. My main domain name (edmullen.net)
simply redirects to one or more of my Comcast Web spaces. You can set
up the redirection as either URL Redirect (where the actual URL of the
final destination is shown to the user) or URL Frame (where only the
domain name is shown, not the actual URL, path or page.
By the way, I never noticed it before but SeaMonkey's spell checker just
asked if I wanted to change "dorayme" to "deodorant." :-D
