Domain Forwarding Services
Domain forwarding gives you the power to control your
email. Not only can you have a nice vanity email address,
you can filter your email in various ways. Let's look
at the possibilities:
Imagine having yourname@yourdomainname.com as your permanent
email address...
Isn't that much nicer and much easier than yourname@hotmail.com?
So, if your domain name is yourdomainname.com, and your
name is Joe Blow, your permanent email address could be
joe@yourdomainname.com!
Imagine being able to give this address out to friends
and associates! And unlike other services that simply
tack on your name to their domain, this email address
is uniquely yours! And if there are others in your family
or business that already have Internet access, and you
want to give each of them their own unique email address,
you can do it. Your associate can be carol@yourdomainname.com,
your uncle can be bill@yourdomainname.com, and your cousin
can be sam@yourdomainname.com. The possibilities are endless!
How about URL redirection?
If you already have a web site with another provider (maybe
it came free with your dialup account), and you want people
to be able to access your web site using your domain,
we offer URL redirection free of charge, when you order
our domain forwarding account. This means that you can
give out:
http://www.yourdomainname.com
instead of something like:
http://www.geocities.com/yourname/index.html
How does it work?
When someone makes a request for your domain name, our
web server will automatically redirect their request to
your actual web site. When someone sends email to a username
at your domain, our mail server automatically forwards
the email to the appropriate email address you've designated.
With our web-based interface, you can make changes to
the forwarding for your account as often as you like,
and the changes will take effect immediately.
