OT: Domains and email forwarding

["Dave Marley" <dave@xxxxxxx>]

I currently have my domain name registered through Ghoulnet and have
my email forwarded to my Nildram account.

Unfortunately, every so often emails just stop getting through,
either bouncing with errors like "No MX records for ...", or just
being delayed for hours at a time. This is normally not noticed my
Ghoulnet and I have to report the fault, which then miraculously
gets fixed, apparently without them changing anything at all! Their
email forwarding server is currently down and has been since around
5pm last night! :-(

So, I've decided I've had enough and I'm going to move to someone
else. I've checked the archive and it seems that I have some
choices. I can either transfer the domain to another provider, or I
can take one of the hosting offers on here and just point the
nameservers from Ghoulnet to the new host.

Is that right? Are there any other options? Can I get my email
forwarded without having to get another hosting account?

Thanks

Dave
