Transferring Domains from 123 to Vidahost

[mattyg]

I have most of my domains with 123Reg and a business website with Vidahost.

I've just tried to create an email with one of my 123Reg domains and they want £2.99 per month. Just for email.

Vidahost cloud thingy provides 25 mailboxes. Is that 25 seperate ones or 25 under one domain? So if I had [email protected] I couldnt have [email protected] without paying for another hosting.

I have several domians that point to one main website but then I have several "hobby" domains that I would like to have Matt@Hobby1 and Matt@Hobby2 etc emails. Can this be done without needing separate hosting

Any Ideas

I've a single medium hosting package with Vidahost, I've moved all my domains to them (around 10) and have emails running for 5 of those.

I pay for the single hosting package and domain renewals as they come up.

I think it depends on how many domains you can have for your hosting package, then each domain gets X number of emails.

Thanks. I'll send them an email and clarify. At least I now know I'm not asking a stupid question.

Just to let you guys know .. now both 123reg and Vidahost are now owned by Godaddy.

NNoooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Although I've not spotted any service issues yet which I would have expected with Godaddy.

Been with Vida for 7+ years, never had any issues with the service.

being owned by doesn't always mean it is run to the same standards.

I think I've been with them 8 or so with no issues...Although its not like I get much traffic to the site it was only done really so I have some sort of web presence
