Can I have e-mail accounts matching my domain without web hosting?

Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

With Aplus.Net, you can have e-mail accounts that match your own domain name, even without web hosting. You can add e-mail accounts in packs of 10, 30, 50, or 100, depending on your needs.

Here is what you need to do in order to start using your personalized e-mail accounts:

1. Make sure that your domain correctly points to Aplus.Net's name servers (i.e. ns1.abac.com and ns2.abac.com).
2. Setup Free Domain Parking on your account (see steps below). Domain Parking associates your domain with a page that says “This site is under construction.”  This service is provided free to customers who have registered a domain with Aplus.Net / Names4Ever.com.
3. Purchase an e-mail pack (see steps below).

Prices are as follows:

3. Pick which type of Domain Parking you would like to establish. Click the appropriate Sign Up Now button to continue.
4. Aplus.Net only permits Domain Parking to be created for domains that are currently registered with Aplus.Net / Names4Ever.com.

This will initiate a transfer of your domain from your current registrar to Aplus.Net / Names4Ever.com. If you want to register a new domain that is currently available, please select the Register New Domain radio button, and then the Domain Registration radio button.
5. Enter the domain name into the Domain Name field.
6. Enter a domain password into the Password fields.
