Did you know you can use your free ATwebDomains email forwarding addresses to “re-brand” your email address with your ISP or portal email account?

What is the email address you use most, the one your family, friends or business associates know you by? Is it This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ? Of course not – unless you, Jim, were one of the first few customers of HumongousISP.com. No Jim, your email address is probably something like This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it In fact, you may consider yourself lucky you only had to use a few digits after your name to come up with a unique email address at HumongousISP.com. You may instead use one of the big portals for your email, like Yahoo!, Google, or Hotmail. They offer a lot of email disk space for free, but the unique name issue is the same as for the ISP’s, either get in early or get stuck with something hard to remember.

Another problem with ISP-provided addresses is that they tend to lock you in to an ISP just because you don’t want to change email addresses. HumongousISP.com owns your identity and you may have to pay for service you’re unhappy with just to keep from changing addresses.

ATwebDomains is ready to help you throw off the shackles of HumongousISP email bondage! With a domain name from ATwebDomains you are in control of your email address, no matter who actually provides your email service. How does this work? Well, first you’ve got to pay the big bucks, about 2 cents a day, for a domain name from ATwebDomains for your identity. What else do you get besides a domain name? For starters, 100 free email forwarding addresses, one free email account, plus a lot more. So for example let’s say Jim Smith, who lives in the United States, buys the domain name “SmithZone.us” from ATwebDomains. Now Jim has as many as 100 addresses he can use with his new domain, one for each member of his family: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , his spouse This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , his children This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Additionally, Jim has This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for business and other interests. The point is Jim can set as many addresses as he needs at his domain with no bizarre spelling, numbers or dashes before the “@” to make it work.

Finding the right domain name for your family or business address can be a challenge if your last name is Smith, but the hunt can be quite entertaining, much like a word game. Searching for an unregistered name is straightforward, just go the search box at ATwebDomains.com and enter your selection to see if it’s available. If you have an unusual name for yourself or your business, your search will be easier – in fact you may be able to grab a coveted “.com” address if your name is truly unique. Expand your possibilities by combining your interests or location with your name or some related word to find your unique identity. Remember, there are other options besides .com’s; like .net, .org, .biz., and .us just to name a few. If you’re searching for a business name be careful not to run afoul of existing trademarks. A good resource to keep out of trouble is the US Patent and Trademark Office search site at: http://www.uspto.gov/main/profiles/acadres.htm. If in doubt you should consult an attorney who specializes in trademark law.

OK, you’ve found the perfect name and registered it through ATwebDomains, so how to use it for all those email addresses? The first thing to understand is the difference between email addresses and email accounts. With your domain registration you receive 100 free email forward addresses and one free email account.

An email account provides access to the email server space needed to send, receive, and store your email. Email accounts have at least one email address associated with them, but can be used with multiple addresses. In addition to the free one you received from ATwebDomains, you're likely have other accounts provided by your ISP and/or web portals such as Google or Hotmail. Each of these accounts has an email address you decided upon when you set up the account. Remember our friend Jim Smith who has his main address provided by his ISP set as This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ? Jim can now re-brand that email account with This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it by using one of his 100 free email forward addresses from ATwebDomains. Email sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it is forwarded to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it More than one forwarding address can be forwarded to one account for inbound email. Most email clients, like Outlook or Thunderbird, can be configured to automatically sort incoming email for multiple addresses into different folders; and have the “From” address set to anything desired for outbound email.

Remember, forwarding addresses are just one way to use your new domain name. With ATwebDomains you get a free stand-alone email account with your domain purchase and can add or expand your email capabilities with powerful, low cost features.
