Email forwarding is perfect if you have a
domain registered with us, and want people
to be able to send you email at that domain.
For example, if you are Joe, and you own"joesplumbingservice.com",
why would you want people to send email to
"joesplumbing2487@hotmail.com"? Wouldn\'t
you rather have them send email to "joe@joesplumbingservice.com"?
Well, now you can! For just $3.00, you can
have up to 10 email addresses for your
domain and forward them to any existing
email account.
What that means is, you would set up mail to
forward from "joe@joesplumbingservice.com"
to go to "joesplumbing2487@hotmail.com".
Whenever you logged into this Hotmail
account, all the email sent to your
joesplumbingservice.com email would show up
in your Hotmail inbox.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I reply to people using this email
address?
With email forwarding, someone is able to
send you email through your domain. That is
a function of our system. The return address
of your email you send out, though, is not a
function of our system. Most email client
software (Outlook Express, Eudora, etc.)
allows you to specify your return address.
This will also be the "From" email address
that appears. For help on this, you'll need
to check the help files in your software, or
contact the manufacturer or your ISP. Most
web-based email (especially AOL), will not
allow you to specify your return address. In
these cases, the recipient will be able to
see your "real" email address, rather than
your domain email.
2. Is there a size limit?
The limit to a single file size is 5
megs. The limit to the amount of email is
how much your current inbox will take, since
we forward everything there.
3. What if I want to cancel email
forwarding?
Email-forwarding is automatically disabled
after you make a DNS change. Because it will
take 24-48 hours for your DNS change to
propagate, email-forwarding will remain
active while the change is in progress, so
that you do not experience any down time for
your email. Once your new DNS servers have
propagated, however, and your domain is no
longer residing on our forwarding servers,
that will automatically render
email-forwarding inactive. Email-forwarding
will still be in your account for this
domain, however, for the full length of the
term you chose. You may, of course, use
email-forwarding again if your new hosting
doesn't work out. You merely need to change
your DNS back to our forwarding servers:
NS1.SHOPCO.COM
NS2.SHOPCO.COM
You may also, of course, abruptly terminate
your forwarding by deleting your forwarding
address. Erase the email address you are
forwarding to, and submit your change.
Emails to you will bounce immediately.
4. What are the POP settings of my new
email?
This is not POP email. Remember that we are
forwarding everything to your existing email
account.
5. Can I change the forwarding email
address?
You can update the status on your email
forwarding at any time by logging back into
the domain manager. Enter your username and
password. If you have forgotten your
username and password, enter the email
address you used at the time of
registration, and we will email you your
username and password. Click on the "Email
Forwarding" link. Your domains without
forwards will appear in the box at the top
of the page. To modify or remove an existing
forward, simply modify or remove the listing
at the bottom of this page.
6. How many emails do I get?
You are entitled to up to 10 forwards per
domain name.
If you need more than 10, please contact us.
7. Is there anything I can't do?
Due to traffic restrictions, we strictly
prohibit the sending of unsolicited email
promoting any domain hosted on our
forwarding servers. |
