See Setting up Email Accounts for the instructions on how to create mail boxes and configure your computer to download mail.
How do I redirect my domain name to another URL?
To redirect your domain name to another URL, see Web Forwarding Instructions . Most customers find the instructions fairly easy, if you get stuck, send an email to sales@passioncomputing.com.au and we'll get it done for you.
Transferring Your Domain
Email Accounts are only available to customers that register or transfer domain names to us (if you are unable to transfer your domain name because of the 60 day waiting period for global domain names, then contact us to organize alternative arrangements).Why do I need to transfer in my domain name? To keep our prices down and to easily solve any problems customers have, it is simply easier to manage both the domain name and hosting in one place. It is often quite a lot of hassle to get a global domain name transferred to us because some registrars are quite troublesome in letting domains go, but by having both domain name registration and email hosting in one place, any problems can easily be solved without having to work with other registrars' systems. One common problem that customers have hosting in one place and registering a domain name in another, is that their website and email stops working because they failed to renew their domain name. This does not happen with us, because we manage both hosting and domain name renewals.
What about redirecting my email to a free email accounts? Hotmail, GMail and Yahoo accounts although free, serve up advertising and you have limited control over what happens to your emails - your private emails may end up being databased without your knowledge. Free email services must make money somehow and usually this is via advertising both to you when you login to your account. Google says on its websites "In a completely automated process, computers process the text in a message and match it to ads or related information in Google's extensive database." or they serve up advertising to your email recipients. It may not be desirable to have online dating ads accompany your business email, so we recommend that you buy a business email hosting account to use for personal or business email and use it by sending email to and from your business email account, rather than redirecting your email to a free email account.
Completely transportable
An email address using a domain name that you have registered is completely transportable. You can change registrars or hosting companies and still keep your email address provided that you continue to pay domain registration and hosting fees. Unlike email accounts that are provided by your ISP, an email account associated with your domain name is controlled by you, so long as you renew your domain and hosting service, regardless of provider, you keep your email address.
