beko ozysimpson: *uhm* sounds like a highly specific question depending on your service/hosting provider. This usually involves mapping a domain to an IP adress (usually an A or CNAME record at least) and configuring the target (your wordpress) to listen for this domain. I know neither bigrock nor your wp hoster so can't be more specific :/
#
beko most providers do this for you but in your case you purchased that domain from another provider so the leg work will be on you :/
