Q: What
is the benefit of IP pointing?
A: The first benefit of IP
pointing is that when you have a domain name parked to the IP number instead of
to the main domain, even if the main domain is inaccessible, because the parked
domain is pointing to the IP number it will still be active.
The second benefit is that when you are
switching to another provider, we ensure that your site is always accessible.
Since our Name Servers update every hour, your domain name will get updated
with the new IP # within the hour.

Q: How does Catch
all Email Forwarding work?
A: As a customer you can have
all your email forwarded to an existing POP account hosted anywhere. With the
Catch all feature all emails with misspelled or defunct user names sent to your
domain will be forwarded to email addresses specified by you.
For example you registered the domain abc.com,
now all email being sent to abc.com (whether to sales@abc.com or
billing@abc.com etc) can be forwarded to jim@aol.com

Q: How does Email
Forwarding work?
A: With our Email Forwarding
feature, you can create 200 unique email addresses for each one of your domain
names. All incoming emails sent to any of these 200 addresses will be forwarded
to an email address specified by you. For example:
Info

Sales forwards to johanna@mydomain.com
Billing forwards to Jill@yahoo.com
Support forwards to tony@oosnet.net
Admin forwards to admin@mydomain.com

Q: Can I use your
features if I am hosted with another host?
A: No. You need to have our

may do a registrar transfer to take
advantage of all our free options.
