Registering a domain enables you to to receive email addressed to that domain. If you registered countryclothes.co.uk you could have email addresses of sales@countryclothes.co.uk or jane@countryclothes.co.uk or any other name that you wanted, and any number of them. By altering the settings in the email program you use to send mail you can make it appear that you are sending mail from your domain address. For a business this looks a lot more professional and you can keep the email address(es) associated with your domain for ever, as long as you maintain the registration.
There are two ways we can deal with emails sent to you at these addresses. They can either be forwarded to an email address you are already using or we can set up one or more POP mailboxes for you.
Email forwarding
We automatically forward email to one or more of any of your current email addresses. You don't need to do anything as the mail arrives with your normal mail. Email forwarding is free.
POP mailboxes
These are like pigeon holes in which your mail collects. You need to set up your mail program to log in and collect your mail. You'll need a program like Outlook Express or Mac Mail to do this, but you can also view your mail using a browser and webmail from any computer anywhere in the world. We charge £10 pa for POP mailboxes. As part of this service you can also use our outgoing mailserver too. This makes you independent of your ISP for mail services which can be a good thing if they are large and email their email services are sluggish!
