Importance of E-mail addresses
It is important to have an e-mail address where your customers can reach you. We have a strong belief that you should only publish e-mail addresses that include your web site address. This is important for several reasons. First, your e-mail address is advertising your web site. Second, even if you move your web site to a different company to host, your e-mail address does not change. If your e-mail address is with your local Internet access provider and you change providers, you don’t want to have to change your e-mail address on all your brochures and also have to send out your new e-mail address to everyone that has your current address. Third, if your e-mail address is with one of the free e-mail providers, there are filter programs that some people and businesses run, that will filter out those accounts because so much spam mail comes from those free accounts.
Pop3/Webmail
We offer Pop3 accounts which basically means that your e-mail account will be your name or whatever you choose at your domain address. You can setup Outlook Express, Netscape or any other e-mail program to fetch and send mail. You also have the option of reading and writing your e-mail through a browser anywhere in the world just by accessing the webmail interface for your account.
E-mail Forwarding
E-mail forwarding allows you to have an e-mail at your domain address that gets forwarded to a different e-mail account. You can forward e-mails to other e-mail accounts within your domain or you can forward them to any valid e-mail address. This can be used for customers that do not want to have to change any e-mail settings on their computer but still want to publish an e-mail address that uses your web site address. Example: john at yourdomain is forwarded to john1234 at free mail.
