Re: Hughes email down?
said by hcwiii  :...I guess this points out that, indeed, all those who have proposed avoiding using hughes mail, are much wiser than I... I don't consider myself wiser than much of anyone (unless THEY prove that I am  ) but I will say that my 11 email accounts (NONE at Hughes) which are checked every 10 minutes 24/7 are cranking along fine.
A .US domain registered at GoDaddy for $5.99/year and another $5 per YEAR to host the domain at E-Rice.net, even if one only uses the 5 email accounts that come with the hosting package, makes a lot of sense to me...

| Bill,
I agree 100%.
I have only one hughes account because HN will not send me news/account informations to my extern account. But they seem to have problems to do that also to their own email accounts.
Never used it in 6 years for any thing else. HN mail is useless...

1 edit | FWIW, and coincidentally, about half an hour ago I received an email from GoDaddy and they are running a special where one can register 2 .NET domains with them for $5/year each.
Being a domain junky, I just registered a couple more with them, opting for 2 years each for a total of $20 plus the standard 40-cent per domain ICAAN fee. Dunno what I will do with them, but good .COM and .NET domains are getting harder and harder to find. Country-guy.net and country-gal.net are MINE!
Standard disclaimer: No connection to GoDaddy other than as a frequent customer...
