- POP3 E-mail
Accounts
A POP3 E-mail account provides a separate user name / password
access to an e-mail address within your domain. Example:
a separate user name and password that only retrieves mail
sent to info@cWebHosting.com.
[ top ]
- E-Mail
Forward
An e-mail forward is an address @yourdomain.com that gets
routed by our mail server to a destination outside of yourdomain.com.
For example forward@cWebHosting.com going to aces125@aol.com
would be considered an e-mail forward. If the address is
being routed to an address within your domain, for example
support@cWebHosting.com going to tech@cWebHosting.com, then
an alias and not a forward is required.
[ top ]
- E-Mail
Aliases
An e-mail alias allows multiple addresses within a domain
to deliver e-mail to the same POP3 account. For example,
an alias could deliver mail sent to hostingsales@cWebHosting.com
to the sales@cWebHosting.com POP3 account. By default anything@domain.com
is automatically aliases to the domains main e-mail account.

our Members Center. NOTE: E-mail lists can not be used to
send UCE. (That would be unsolicited SPAM.) Any violation
of our mass e-mail policy will result in the immediate termination
of your account.

- FTP Accounts
FTP accounts make it possible to give restricted access
to an account. For example: cWebHosting.com could assigned
user "joe" a password of "dog.' When joe FTP'ed to cWebHosting.com
with his password of dog it would take him directly into
the cWebHosting.com/joe/ dir. Joe would not be able to gain
access to the main powersurge files just his own. Yes, these
accounts can be resold- you just can't link a domain name
to a sub-directory FTP account. (That's against our policies.)
