Since they say they do forwarding, why don't you just pay the $40 to keep 
your domain there and let them forward to your existing web site and your 
all set?

It's certainly easier than learning this for just one domain.

Yes it is a sub-domain, but that's OK.  Funny, when I went there they 
wanted $100 for the first two years. <scratching my head>

Anyway, I presume they delegate it do you in which case you would have them 
point the delegation to the DNS servers at mydomain.com (normally this is 
done by putting the name of the DNS servers in the registration record) 
where mydomain.com would then forward to your website below.

There may be a free redirecting service but I haven't looked since I don't 
need such services.  Actually I do redirecting, but not for free.
