Alright, my web space stuff is being hosted by 110mb.com...I wanted to get rid of the pesky (hard to remember) 110mb before the actual address, so I bought the domain I wanted.
From what I've gathered there's some way for it to direct people from the domain name I bought to the one where it's hosted...
I just have no idea how to do that, what it's called etc...

There's a couple of ways to do this. It really depends on where you bought the domain and whatever 110mb.com offers you. In fact, I'd recommend moving over to a different host. I would actually strongly recommend Google Pages (pages.google.com). It's ad free and it's fast and reliable.
If your host gives you DNS (domain name service) information, you would edit your domain's DNS records (through the site you bought the domain) and add the hosts DNS servers. That way, your domain name is not just a forward, but the URL that shows up in the address bar.
Also, if you want to just forward, you can do that through your domain registrar directly.
Who did you register through?

So is 110MB. I'm not sure what type of bandwith google offers, but 110MB is 30GB downloads per month. Also support for numerous scripting languages such as php etc, mysql databases, python if you're that way inclined, etc.
I would (and do) recommend them to everybody.

I'm not familiar with them. Since what you're trying to do is site-specific, you're best off calling/contacting united-domains' customer service.

Look for domain parking in the 110mb control panel. It should give you instructions on what to change your DNS servers to.

if I understand what you're trying to do, the easiest way is just to upload an index.html page to your new domain name and put in a simple html redirect to where your site is actually hosted. Here is Code for an HTML redirect.
