how can i use the free domain extras service offered by aplus.net?

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

The Free Domain Extras service is available for domain names registered with Aplus.Net which are not included in any hosting plan. The Free Domain Extras service features the following components:

1 email account
100 email forwarders
1 page website designed with WSC WebsiteCreator

Note: By default, the domain name you have registered with Aplus.Net will be pointed to our nameservers: ns1.abac.com and ns2.abac.com. This is required for the Free Domain Extras service to function properly.

I. FREE DOMAIN EXTRAS ACTIVATION:

Please note that it is highly possible that you have activated your Free Domain Extras service during the domain name registration process. In such a case, skip this section and go directly to the “Free Domain Extras Management” section (below).

If you have not activated the Free Domain Extras service during the domain name registration process, here is how to achieve this using the Aplus.Net Control Panel:

Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
Select Buy Services from the top navigation bar. Then select Domain Names > Free Domain Extras.
Select the Use available domains option then choose your domain name from the Domain Name drop-down menu.

Note: If a registered domain is already added to a hosting service you will not see it listed as available. If you want to register a brand new domain, select the Register new domain name option and proceed with the registration process.

Click Proceed to Finalize Order.
On the next page you can review the service details. Click Finalize Order when ready.

II. FREE DOMAIN EXTRAS MANAGEMENT:

Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
