Email address and web hosting.

[Hysteron]

Hello All

I've just moved to ADSL24 after many years with a broadband cable connection. I'm looking forward to my account being activated, hopefully tomorrow.
Anyway, been doing a good bit of looking around and gathering information on getting everything set up properly and the one thing I'm not too keen on is the default email address, it's just a bit messy in my view i.e.

name@accountname.adsl24.co.uk.

My question then is, if I purchase a domain name can I have it hosted on the free webspace that is part of my ADSL24 account and will I then be able to have an email address like:

name@domainname

If someone could explain how this could be done I'd appreciate it.

Best Wishes.
Alex

Hi Alex
I have not configured my email through ADSL24. I used the Enternet option. Although i do plan to use the ADSL24 service,I believe this is setup through the use of CPanel. You can setup email and hosting.
CPanel help (//adsl24.co.uk/support.html)

If you log onto your Enternet account you can find the option for email through them...eg name@name.entadsl.com.
Hope this helps.
regards....Cliff:)

Hi Cliff

CPanel is new to me but I had a look at the tutorials on the Adsl24 site and think I could use it to set up my mail, however I really want an easy to remember email, one without double barrelled names after the @ symbol as is the case both with entanet and adsl24.

Thats the reason I'm thinking that if Adsl24 can host a domain name of my choosing then all my emails can have that address, trouble is I don't know if this is possible.

Cheers

Simple answer is yes. We will remove your old account and in its place host your own domain in its place free of charge.
