Pointing a domain name to a specific directory

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to get a domain name such as examplename.com and then set it up to go to a specific directory on a server.

Any help/tips would be appreciated.

I'm tryin to get the info before I get the domain.

Sure, you can do it. I don't know about all registars but I have done that with GoDaddy before.

Sounds more like a server problem than a domain registrar's problem. Buy a domain and point it to your server. Your server then decides which file/directory is being called. At least I think that's what you asking.
