| 353626 | 2005-05-09 21:50:00 | Still getting the password box this am, so the 2am outage hasn't fixed that little annoyance. The problem with changing ISP's is twofold - the first is getting out of the frying pan without knowing whether you are going to land in the fire; and the second is that I have a pile of stationery such as letterheads and business cards that would have to be reprinted, and that is big bikkies. Quite an expense to swap ISPs when you are self employed... | John H (8) | ||

Quite an expense to swap ISPs when you are self employed... That is why anyone running a business should have their own domain name so they can change ISP's and keep the same email address and avoid the problem of having to reprint letterheads and business cards. A domain name gives you a permanent email address which you own and can be used regardles of your ISP you use. |

| 353630 | 2005-05-09 23:42:00 | Any ISP will register and manage your domain name. For instance Xtra have information at this link but they are expensive and you can get it a lot cheaper elsewhere. www.xtra.co.nz Just go to any ISP website and look for information about Domain Names. A Google search brings up many different companies offering this service. www.google.co.nz If you get a domain name you will still have to reprint all your letterheads and business cards to reflect your new email address but at least you will never have to do it again even if you change ISP's or if the ISP goes out of business for some reason. |

| 353631 | 2005-05-09 23:47:00 | Thank you Safari. That seems quite straightforward. I did a Google search and was probably going down the wrong route. I found a Domain Register company that would register it for me, and I found the prices (and my preferred name has not been stolen!), but it may be best to choose an ISP first and go that route. Thanks again. John |

Park your domain name eg. www.mycompany.co.nz Then you can use the email somebody@mycompany.co.nz www.mycompany.co.nz is a website associated with that domain name. The domain name is just mycompany.co.nz You can have just a domain name without a website. |
