What is my Mail Server Address (POP3 and SMTP) to use with programs like Outlook and Eudura?
Both the POP3 (Post Office Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) addresses are: mail.yourdomain.com.
(where yourdomain is your personal domain name).

Your user name is email_name%yourdomain.com and the password will have been emailed to the owner of the domain. Your email address will be email_name@yourdomain.com.

What is my FTP address to upload files to my site?
Your FTP (File Transfer Protocol) address is ftp.yourdomain.com.
(where yourdomain is your personal domain name).

What about telnet access?
We do not provide telnet access for security reasons
.

How do I access my email from the web with a browser?
Web based email can be accessed at www.yourdomain.com/mail/ You can change your password for your email account here for both POP3 access and Web Access and we highly recommend you do.

How do I change my email password (both POP and Web based mail)?
Web based email can be accessed at www.yourdomain.com/mail/ You can change your password for your email account here for both POP3 access and Web Access and we highly recommend you do.

Can I have an automated mailing list?
No problem, just let us know and we will set it up for you.

What are your email policies?
No Spamming, and basically no abuse of the system.

What are my monthly bandwidth limitations?
A standard account is limited to 750Mg bytes a month (that's 7,864,320,000 bytes a month!). We set this to ensure that no abuse of the system occurs. We can arrange an account with a higher bandwidth limitation if need be, but on most accounts this should be sufficient (most accounts will not even approach this number).
Beware of other web hosts that tout unlimited bandwidth, this is not technically (or economically) feasible.
They are just counting on the fact that most web accounts do not even approach the bandwidth limits we have prescribed for our accounts.

What is the fastest and easiest way to have any questions (technical or otherwise) answered?
Simple, send us an email at info@affordablesite.Com and include as much detail (or background) as you can. You will be pleasantly surprised at the speed of the response.

Are there any restrictions on what I can put on my website?
No adult sites, no warez, nothing that can be construed as illegal. We do this to protect ourselves and to ensure we are good net-citizens.

What are your Terms of Service?
Terms of Service are posted at www.affordablesite.com/tos.html

How do I register a domain name?
Go to www.affordablesite.com/domains.html. From there you can see if it is available and lease the name.

How do I do anything not fully answered here?
Just send an email to info@affordablesite.Com and we will provide any more details you may need.

You stated I have CPanel access on my account, how do I use it?
