E-Mail Addresses
What is the difference between an e-mail address and a mailbox?

Imagine an E-mail as a letter and a Mailbox as a letterbox. "General" mail can be delivered to the household's main letterbox while specialized or private mail may be directed to additional letterboxes which are administered separately.

How many e-mail addresses can I have?
There is no limit to the number of e-mail addresses you may have allocated to your account.

How many mailboxes can I have?
There is no limit to the number of mailboxes you may have allocated to your account.

How do I add e-mail addresses?
Click on Member Services then My Account. Sign-on to your administration account and click on [E-Mail Accounts] Add Alias. This will allow you to enter additional e-mail addresses to any of your accounts/domains.

How do I add mailboxes?
Click on here My Account, sign-on to your administration account and click on [E-Mail Accounts] Add. This will allow you to enter additional Mailboxes.

Domain Names
What is a domain name?
A Domain is a group of computers or devices that shares a common directory database and is administered as a unit. On the Internet, domains organize network addresses into hierarchical subsets. For example, the .com domain identifies host systems used for commercial business

What is a sub-domain and how do I set one up?
A Sub-Domain is an alternate domain name that INCLUDES your ISP domain name. e.g. mydomain.RacCal.com.

To create a Sub-Domain, Click here My Account, sign-on to your administration account and click on [Sub-Domain] Add. This will create a sub-domain of your choice.

How many sub-domains can I have?
There is no limit to the number of Sub-Domains you may have. Note the sub-domain will always only be a sub-set of the main ISP domain. i.e. You cannot have mail@first.second.RacCal.com

How much web space can I have?
There is no limit to how much web space you can use. However, we do expect the web space to be used responsibly and that regular disk housekeeping is undertaken.
