NDO Question

Azraeluk · 8 Nov 2006 at 10:48

Think ive made my mind up to move to NDO, but on question before I do.

It says on there site that you get 1 email address, this could be a problem as I share the connection with someone who want a separate email address, is there a way to create child mailboxes for a secondary users included with there 24.99 package?

Cheers

its best to use something like Gmail so that if you decide to change providers you won't have to waste time having to inform you friends or websites you subscribed to of you new email address.

but i think NDO has one mailbox and but you can setup different aliases.

If I were you I wouldn't bother, NDO/Namesco/Ision/Netdirect or whatever they call themselves now are useless when it comes to customer support, you're tied into a 12 month contract with a penalty for migrating (migration codes from what I recall also incur a fee), the actual broadband itself is great though, so long as you only want to use it in the morning, I'm on MAX and my download speeds up to around 1pm are great, after that they drop from 8mb to less than 1mb and NDO have now spent at least 6 months doing absolutely nothing about it.

Well I've been with NDO for 3 years and never had a problem.

Their Broadband max packages are all 1 month contracts and my broadband is downloading consistently above 6000 kilobits per second throughout the day with low pings as well.

Re the email I don't know as I use my own smtp/pop3.

Call and ask. They are helpful.
They also have a new pipe on line this week.

Correction - it's best to just get some shared hosting and do your own email service. It's what I finally got fed up with in the last month. £30 for a year at a decent host is all it costs and you get to keep the address forever*.

Now I have space for a website and my own email server. I might even do a blog of some sort and bore people silly with that
