| 526693 | 2007-02-21 04:34:00 | I went to GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com) and bought a domain/name for a few years (I know...might just be a waste of money)...but now I wonder what good is it? I have a neat E-mail client-thingy and it's supposed to do a great job in sending large files and such... How can I use it as a FTP? This is a new area for me. :confused: |

| 526694 | 2007-02-21 04:37:00 | What did you buy it to use for? Is it your own name? Or did you have some sort of webterprise you wanted to start? | chchinformer (11393) | ||
| 526695 | 2007-02-21 05:12:00 | It's in my own name...no, I don't want to conduct business from it...but I want to be able to send/receive files and such thru it....more than anything..It's kinda kewl to have my own domain! | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||

This is a new area for me . :confused: You will need a webhost if you want your own email mailboxes, and a website using the domain or use ftp . I would recommend a host that has it's servers based in NZ as email connection speeds are far better and websites also load faster . This page has a list of NZ hosts . netguide . co . nz/Home/Shopping/ISPNetDirectory/Domainnamesandhosting/tabid/114/Default . aspx" target="_blank">www . netguide . co . nz |

Location: San Jacinto, California, USA ;) So in his case he would use a USA server not a NZ one as a USA server will be faster then a NZ one. |
