Yeah, other than POP downloading of email, I haven't used my ISP mail in years.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18278648 Thu, 03 May 2007 23:41:40 EDT Re: Of course, not for existing customers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18275412 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18275412 Thu, 03 May 2007 14:04:39 EDT Re: Of course, not for existing customers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18270112 said by itguy05:

Just get a domain - $10/yr from GoDaddy
and then www.hagenhosting.com - $3.95/mo:
* 110 GB disk space
* 1,100 GB monthly bandwidth
* 500 POP3 e-mails
* Pre-installed scripts
* Basic Spam Control tool

You get a real web presence and site.

100% Linux (unlike 1x1 who uses a lot of Windows), rock solid for me for the past 5 years, and a great value.

Now I'm never at the mercy of an ISP. Best thinf I've done.
Personally, I just need a custom email address. All that other stuff is overkill.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18270112 Wed, 02 May 2007 15:43:34 EDT Re: Of course, not for existing customers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18270096
But, I haven't used an ISP email for years. I don't want to be tied down like that in the event that CC finally tells me to take a hike.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18270096 Wed, 02 May 2007 15:40:45 EDT Re: Of course, not for existing customers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18269444
Rinse and repeat 1 mo after the "promotional" pricing runs out. Been doing this for years.. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18269444 Wed, 02 May 2007 13:37:49 EDT Re: Of course, not for existing customers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18269140 said by itguy05:

Ummm, just to be clear: 1and1 offers either Linux or Windows hosting with similar pricing for either, depending on what your requirements are.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18269140 Wed, 02 May 2007 12:31:35 EDT Re: Of course, not for existing customers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18269109 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18269109 Wed, 02 May 2007 12:26:38 EDT Re: Of course, not for existing customers. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Of-course-not-for-existing-customers-18269077 and then www.hagenhosting.com - $3.95/mo:

Don't see that offer. Do you have a link?

Probably works best if you're in a market served by 2 or more equivalent providers.

The switch back and forth, just after the "introductory" pricing ends? And sign up for a competitor's introductory deal?

If so, get a personal / vanity web domain and use that for your email address, so you don't have to have a vendor linked new email address every year. www.1and1.com, for one, provides domain name leasing with 1 email account for $6 / year.
