2/24 Okay, I know this type of question has been asked before, but
here goes. I'm currently using http://domaindirect.com for my
registrar--they also handle my email (1 pop account + 5
forwarding addresses + catch-all). The problem is that they
only provide www forwarding (with perhaps "url keeper" which
wraps the page in a frame and it still looks like the domain,
but is a pretty cheesy technique). Anyway, I'd like to move to
a hosting service that allows me to keep the same (or better)
email services, and do either web hosting or aliasing to (say)
a http://dyndns.org site. domaindirect costs about $35/yr. and I'd
like it to be cheap, but I'm willing to pay more for better
service if necessary. Suggestions?
\_ DynDNS
\_ Um, did you notice that I mentioned dyndns? Do they handle
hosting? Do they handle email redirects? Do I have to run my own
mail server? Everything I checked about dyndns shows that it's a
partial solution, not a complete one.

\_ http://gandi.net is cheap. They won't do hosting but they'll handle
mail forwarding and aliasing. the downside is they are in
Europe and you'll get all your e-mail in French (and English).
\_ I have had 5 domains with gandi for > 3 years now. They are
great, their service is fast, their TOS are unambiguous.
Regarding the DNS, you can do it with the public DNS service.
Look at http://soa.granitecanyon.com -- I found it very
difficult to get working, though, but it does work. And it's
free. -John |
