Good point. When I set up fly.to/ and some of the other variants including
".to" around 1998 this seemed to have been transparent to the real site
location. Also, I know people whose dot com Web site is only a pointer to a
site hosted somewhere else (with a far less admirable address).
Having said all of this, there is not much /choice/. You are restricted to
use a domain (or subdomain or pointer) that is owned by yourself so only
/your/ address can be displayed in the address bar. For instance, re-direct
www.XXXXhiddenaddress.com to www.XXXXfakeaddress.com where
www.XXXXfakeaddress.com points to www.XXXXhiddenaddress.com.
