A family "domain
name" is the perfect gift
By Sharon Airhart
(NC)-Having you own email address -
"your-first-name@your-lastname.ca" - is a classy way
to correspond with friends and family.
It's
also one of the internet's fastest growing trends.
Having your own email address is also a convenient
and inexpensive way to be sure you never again have
to notify people of a change of email address. You
keep your email address as long as you own the
domain, no matter how many times you change internet
service providers.
What's more, no one who knows your name will ever
forget your email address.
At
the cost of about 10 minutes of your time and
roughly $30 to $40, depending on whether you want a
".com" or a ".ca" address, you can register your
name as your domain at a domain name registrar like
www.easyDNS.com.
Part
of the registration process will allow you to set up
as many as 100 email addresses at your domain. Every
member of the family can have their own, unique
email address and you can set up special email
addresses for special purposes like club memberships
or family reunions.
easyDNS.com will then forward any email addressed to
"yourdomainname.com" to the email address that was
supplied by your Internet Service Provider (Sympatico,
Rogers, etc.) or to an email account at one of free
email providers like Gmail or Hotmail.
Although email and web sites are not necessarily
related, once you own a domain name, of course, you
can even create a family web site.
