Email on own domain

GaryS

My son has a Bronze package, and I have a Silver package because I point other domains to parts of my space, and they should get more visits.

There is a spamfilter, in the cpanel, although I must admit I have not played around with it too much.

HTH.

I used Register 1 - the email forwarding was included in the £3 a year .co.uk fee

As the source, they also did good web hosting deals, but I don't need hosting

i pay £12 a year to one.com and that includes my domain name fightingdebt.co.uk and also includes the hosting and 100 emails which all end in the domain site name eg [EMAIL="admin@fightingdebt.co.uk"]admin@fightingdebt.co.uk[/EMAIL] All the mail from there goes into my outlook inbox

So far Ive not had any problems and their main help is through emails or a lve help which I used mainly when firs setting out.

123reg is great for email , you can start with 10 then increase as you wish at no extra cost ie., mail@ , terry@ , postbox@ , if too much spam, just delete email address

If it helps, (and you wanted POP3 mailboxes and hosting - in addition to a domain), I just had a promo email from 123-reg, they have a new "hosting for a quid" offer, £1 per month, (for 1st 6 months) you get 500Mb webspace, 35 POP3 mailboxes, webmail, email forwarding. http://www.123-reg.co.uk/web-hosting/

If you just want a domain with e-mail forwarding as described above they charge £2.79 per year for a .co.uk - and the control panel is very simple to use, if you wanted POP3 mail boxes they are extra.

Do you mean that just having a domain name (and not giving out any email addresses) will be enough to generate a deluge of spam? The main reason I want to do this is so that I can have a unique email per contact. So for example I'd have MSE@terrytibbs.co.uk for my moneysavingexpert account. Now were moneysavingexpert be unscrupulous enough to sell my email to spammers, I would know who was responsible and simply block the address (just using MSE as an example).

Initially I need email hosting only. I may need web hosting somewhere down the line though.

Many thanks,

That is a great idea - it is what I do too. I have not had one single spam message.

In addition I have them all forward to my Gmail account where a label is automatically applied depending on the 'to' address - the same could be achieved with folders in an email client.

Possibly make your individual addresses a tad more complex though - instead of MSE@yourdomain.com try something like 0001_MSE@yourdomain.com and 0002_tesco@yourdomain.com etc - it is just less guessable as you need a name and a random number

I'd recommend Google Mail for your domain (http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/index.html)

If your domain name registrar gives you good access to the host record (adding / editing MX records in particular, 123-reg certainly do) then it's really easy to setup.

You get unlimited addresses, each with 7GB of storage available, GMail's fabulous spam-filtering, you can access the mail through POP or IMAP, so you can continue to use your preferred email client rather than Google's web-based interface (which I like, but other folks don't seem to ...) and you get the excellent integration with Google calendar and Google docs.

All for nothing, which ain't bad.

I'd agree on using 1and1. They are currently charging 99p for the first year of a .co.uk domain.

I use them and have quite a few e-mail addresses setup and it's easy to use and have webmail so you can access your e-mail when not at home. Worth a look if nothing else.

P.S. terrytibbs.co.uk has already gone but terrytibbs.biz still seems to be available!

I'm trying to do the same thing using Google Apps (I signed up using the link in heggied's post).

Do I have to create a new user account for each email address? It says I can only have 50 user accounts.

Also I cant sign in to my email account using Google Account even though I successfully signed up for Google Account.

Thanks in advance.

I think you actually need to create the email address on your hosting package before trying to link to t using Google Mail. In any case, I find it easier to set it up through my hosting package and then connect using Outlook (or Mail if on Mac). Your hosting company should provide a step-by-step guide if you get stuck
