I've just registered my family name as a .co.nz domain, we now also use it for email (It's independent of any ISP which is handy) and it also means I've just created records like: firstname.surname.co.nz For most of the family. Easy to remote control the routers remotely (On a non-standard port for WAN mangement), amongst other things. I used no-ip and dyndns, can't help with any others sorry...	Chilling_Silence (9)

I thought if Im going to finally move off xtra email , why not go the whole hog & use my name as a domain name? Who are you using as a domain & email host, any cheap cheap options ? Back on topic, $10 a year isnt alot to pay if its a reliable service. But you cant beat a static IP from your ISP.	1101 (13337)

AFAIK you can do something similar with Outlook.com for free now. Google is a few bucks a year now if you sign up a new domain, but I'd still recommend them as being worth paying for :)	Chilling_Silence (9)
1342392	2013-05-21 22:32:00	I've had a family domain for several years. Email address like bbcmicro.net without .nz on the end. But would strongly suggest having a .nz domain. It's quite a hassle having to say 'without .nz on the end' everytime I give someone my address	BBCmicro (15761)
