Overview
|
Similar to the virtual server account
option, virtual e-mail gives you some of the benefits without all of the associated
costs. You still retain a unique domain name along with a server to host your e-mail
only, not your web pages. As an alternative to having an address of http://www.netonecom.net/~yourcompany,
a more professional and simplified address of http://www.yourcompany.com
may be used. E-mail can then be received with an of, for example,
john@yourcompany.com. Once a domain name is registered, ownership is retained
by the applicant and is transferrable to any internet service provider. If you wish,
you may include your e-mail address(es) on printed material used in your business.
These addresses will never require modification unless desired, regardless of where your
domain is hosted.

WHOIS?
|
WHOIS? is the means of querying a database which is maintained by Network
Solutions, Inc. (Internic) regarding the availability of a particular domain name. Use one
of the following methods to access the WHOIS database:
Try clicking on the link above. If you have a telnet application, such as the
default application that is supplied with Windows 95 and it is linked to start from
your browser, it will open and connect directly to the WHOIS database site. If not,
you will need to launch your telnet manually.
Type in the desired domain name for which you would like to apply. For example, if your
business name is Acme Auto Repair Products, you might try checking the availability of aarp.com.
After connecting to Internic, type:
whois aarp.com
If no match is shown for the domain name entered, you are in luck. That domain
name is available for you to register it as your own. WHOIS is typically a very busy site
so several attempts may be necessary to obtain the information desired.
