Domain forwarding (also called URL redirection) allows you to redirect web requests for your domain name to a site hosted on a different server (such as the free web space your ISP may provide).

All accounts can be accessed via webmail using any of the following web based programs which are automatically accessible once your control panel has been set up.
IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing email messages that are kept on a mail server. In other words, it permits a “client” email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while travelling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
All accounts have POP3 and SMTP activated, so you can check your email from your preferred email client including Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Entourage, Eudora, Apple Mail, Pocket PC, PDA, iPhone, Android, Blackberry or any other POP3 email program.
You can check your email from ANY email client on any computer running any operating system, Windows, Mac, UNIX or Linux.

The SSL and TLS features are intended to make your website more secure. These features generate and manage SSL certificates, signing requests, and keys. This is useful for websites that will use logins and credit card numbers, since information will be sent to and from your website over the Internet as encrypted data versus plain text. This makes it difficult for malicious users to intercept communications between visitors and your website.
Note: SSL Certificates are bound to static IP addresses which is why you require an IP address.
