domain names
Thanks all for your replies.
Question was badly worded on "what is the advantage", I meant over having an AOL/Wanadoo/Freesurf etc. name.
OSBO's remark on SPAM is interesting.
Why will it be virtually SPAM free? Because mails are routed through a source which actively filters out SPAM?
I have no end of problems on my AOL.com account which I keep for family members who are not very good with e-mail/www yet, it gives a nice border with easy and obvious hints on what to do next. Very usefull for that but SPAM is a big problem.
Domain names seem to give what you need without difficult SPAM killer programmes which are not always very effective, I understand.
The cost is very reasonable, I found the damain name most suited to us for 3 euro a month including mail fwd.
I think I will get it now. But not for the status of having "that special name".
Thanks again for your advise.
