A
domain name will give you a unique identity
on the Internet. In some ways, a domain
name is similar to a customized license
plate. Many organization find it useful
to have an e-mail or Web address that is
similar to their company name or to their
company product(s).
If
your organization's name is Example, Inc.,
you could register the domain name EXAMPLE.COM
and your e-mail address could be user_name@example.com.
Your customers would also be able to access
your organization's Web site by visiting
"www.example.com" with their Web
browser.
Your domain name can be thought of as two
things:
1. It can be compared to your business address
where customers come to see you. But more
importantly it is your internet identity.
2. Your domain name is the way people will
remember you by. Since no two parties can
ever hold the same domain name simultaneously,
your internet identity is totally unique.

Domain Forwarding

pointer is a second domain name that points
to any Website you wish. For instance, if
your business Website is www.yourcompany.com,
your domain pointer could be www.yourbrand.com
or www.yourbrand.net.

in your default account except your id.
For instance you could have your E-mail
forwarded to a Hotmail address. You can
also use this feature to ensure that E-mail

misspelled.
e.g.
Your FTP user name is your default (Catch
All) email a/c.
you@yourcompany.com
- here "you" is default catchall
a/c & you will get all emails sent to
me/ info / sales / support / webmaster or
anything@yourcompany.com.

and content, to the mail server and then to
the recipient(s).

you will most commonly encounter are:
-
To: A
comma separated list of recipient addresses.
-
From:
The E-mail address of the sender.
-
Reply-to:
The E-mail address to which replies should
be sent.

Traffic is the
amount of data transmitted from your Website.
Smaller business sites with few visitors
rarely use more than 100MB/month.
Based on our experience, it has shown that
500 MB/month will be more than enough for
most users unless your pages are multimedia
laden, generating tens of thousands of hits
a month.

| |
Bandwidth is the
total size of all files transferred to web
surfers from your site. For example, if
your main page is 30KB total and 100 people
visit it a month, that will be a total of
3000KB of bandwidth used, or 3MB.
