Email forwarding question

[FutileBreadMachine]

I have my email forwarded to my gmail from my domain which is hosted by fasthostingdirect. If they go belly up, will my emails still be forwarded to me? I don't know if the address forwarding information is actually on their servers or if it's on same database at Nominet.

I am worried that if they happened to go out of business one day, none of my emails will be forwarded anymore, and I will have to go round changing my email address at loads of places.

Isn't there some way to use GoogleMail as the mail forwarder? I think I looked at that some time ago.

I see, thanks, I thought that was the case. I think there is a way I can go edit the DNS record at fasthostingdirect to point at a gmail mail server. I was looking at it a while ago but got nervous about editing the settings without really knowing what I was doing. I will look at it again. Just nervous about relying on a small company to forward all my mail. If something happens to them, there may be emails sent which never reach me.
