Is there anyway to mask the cgi site so that it still remains mydomain.com?
I dont want to point mydomain.com at the site, but there is a link on my website for Forum which currently points straight at the cgi site.
One other quick question, i have 500mb allocated space for my website, does that only cover the main website, or is the cgi site included with that?
If not, does anyone know the limit of the CGI site?

This all, as long as the directory forum is in the directory where the webpage is.
Only thing to do: In the forum admin section the URL of the forum needs to be changed to www.mydomain.com/forum.
Where is your webpage currently, in root of ccgi? If that is the case, consider to put it into a directory for the sake of not loosing the overview.

1) the directory /forum is in root,
2) www.mydomain.com points to ccgi.username.plus.com .
The only thing to do is to change in the forum admin section the URL to www.mydomain.com/forum .
Don't forget to empty the browser cache with F5, before checking it.

ccgi CNAME ccgi.yourid.force9.co.uk
And save it. This will configure it so that your domain has the ccgi server name enabled for it. You can then point your forum using your doman name and don't need to use your f9 userid in the URL.
So for you edit Streedivers.co.uk and add
ccgi CNAME ccgi.adam1v.force9.co.uk
I think it takes up to 24 hours to replicate. So leave it a while once you done it before saying it doesn't work.

Just to clarify what your telling me, this will simply mask the url.
At presnt the html pages + images are hosted on the main ftp site and forum on the ccgi site.
This change isnt going to require me to move the files?

You will have both
http://www.streetdivers.co.uk/ and http://ccgi.streetdivers.co.uk/ when this works. So nothing to move, just change your links on you main site to point at http://ccgi.streetdivers.co.uk/........... rather than http://ccgi.adam1v.force9.co.uk/..........
Just wait for it to replicate before you make the change so that you know it has worked properly.

Its been 48hrs and ive actually added another CNAME just incase the first one was wrong, i have two dns records reading:
ccgi cname ccgi.adam1v.force9.co.uk
ccgi cname streetdivers.co.uk
you might say the bottom one isnt needed, but neither seem to be doing anything atm.

You should raise a ticket, explaining the domains that you have pointed to the CCGI server, and you need the CCGI side of things 'kicked'.
Ask them to verify the DNS settings too. I was under the impression you needed 'A' records, not CNAME records.
eg:
ccgi A 84.92.1.4
You *must* get PN to do their bit too, though.

For example. If you only use your cgi space to host a forum is it possible to have 'forum' in the left field ?. OR if you have an online shop is it possible to have 'shop.domain.??.??'

The reason i was having problems was my forum in the ccgi section was at ccgi.adam1v.force9.co.uk/phpbb If i wanted to direct traffic from my www.streetdivers.co.uk website the url should then have been ccgi.streetdivers.co.uk/phpbb
I hope that makes sense?

In reply to Devonports I believe it must be www or ccgi I'm afraid. If you host your own website on your own servers then you can do what you like and get everything for your domain directed where you like. But it's there system and that's how they've set it up.
