I was wondering if frame forwarding affects a site being listed in a search engine or not? I believe I read somewhere that it did, is this right? If so, it would then be beneficial to have web hosting and the domain name at the same company, right? Thanks in advance.

Welcome, kuschatka! 
What exactly do you mean by "frame forwarding"? I've never heard the term before.

Hi Jill
As I understand the term it is to display the content of a Second url page in the frame while the address bar still shows that the page is being displayed from the first URL.

Ah...well, I don't think the framed page would be able to be indexed in that case, if that's what it is.
Definitely don't want to use that strategy.

Maybe I meant url forwarding where I have a domain, and when anyone hits that domain they are forwarded to another server where the actual site is, but the address doesn't change. Would this have an impact with search engines? If so does that mean I have to host and have my domain at the same web host?
Thanks

You wouldn't want to forward your domain that way. The only safe way to forward a domain (as far as search engines are concerned) is via a 301 redirect.
Domains aren't "hosted" so I'm not sure what you mean by that. But your best bet would be to simply make sure that the dns for your domain points to your web hosting server. This would be even better than a 301 redirect, as it would be just the regular way to host a web site.

I have a couple of clients that had no budget for web hosting, so I registered a domain name, which is forwarded to their site hosted on free web space from their ISP.
(ie. www.properdomain.com forwards to http://homepages.eircom.net/~username)
I have it set so that the visitor does see the homepage address when they are forwarded, not "framed" where the registered address stays in the address bar.
Forwarding without the frame doesn't appear to have hurt these sites. They aren't at the top for their target phrases, but I haven't been paid for any tweeking either.
Looks like some SEs have trouble spidering a site that is forwarded in a frame, like with framed sites.

Sounds like you're doing the forward at the server level, which is generally the way to go.

basically my www.mycompany.com points to www.asdflkjsdfl.mycompany.com/alkdfjlsdlk
thru url forwarding service provided by buydomains.com which is where I registered my domain. To do the dns I would need an IP address of where my site is hosted right? Or could I use www.asdflkjsdfl.mycompany.com/alkdfjlsdlk? But that seems like what url forwarding does.
