Re: Attachments too large for my Yahoo Email Acct.
Can we transfer an existing domain to Sonic or does it have to a be a brand new creation to take advantage of the above offer? |

The free Personal Hosting service is only available for new domains registered through the Personal Hosting member tool. Sorry for any confusion!

| Dear John, nncycle & Dane,
Well, I have done it, I think. I have my new "domain name" a.k.a. webhosting(?) which I set up with the intuitive tools provided on the Sonic.net website.
My domain name is: www.highhatsize.com. I have set it up so that any mail sent to PAPAJOE@highatsize.com is forwarded to my sanfranson@yahoo.com email account. I know that this retains the same problem that I had with graphics not being downloaded but I'm only just beginning to tinker with this. More refinements later.
I'm paying an additional .17/mo. so that my personal info. that I needed to list for registration won't be available publicly. As far as I know, this is the only additional charge.
I believe that I can use as many different email usernames as I want ending with "@highhatsize.com" and they will all arrive at my sanfranson@yahoo.com email box.
I'm going to have to ask my friends who are more up-to-speed in computer language than I to help me set up the website so that it actually looks like something that was created purposely rather than an accident. The only thing that I have on the website so far is my personal blog, which I have entitled, "Weltanschauung", subtitle, "What the f***?". Haven't thought of anything worth blogging yet.
One thing that is bothersome is that I have passwords provided me by the system both for the email and the blog that are entirely random and, ergo, impossible to remember. I copied them onto, "Word", so that I just need to copy and paste them when they are called for. I can't believe that I must retain such difficult passwords and assume that, when I am more familiar with my new home, I will be able to change the passwords to something more homey. But, if not, no biggie.
Soon, I will be perfect.

| SANFRANSON Good for you. As time goes on you will learn more about things like your personal web site and be more comfortable using it.
You might want to look into a password management program. All of your online accounts will be much safer if you use strong passwords ( ie the truly random passwords with numbers and symbols included). I use a Mac and use a program called 1 password which will generate strong passwords and fill them in for my various web accounts. All I have to do is remember one master password to access my 1 password stored passwords. In this age of ID thief you can't be to secure with your passwords and the harder they are for you to remember the harder they will be for someone to crack. You want to avoid using this like words that are in the dictionary as a password since those types of passwords can be cracked fairly easily.
You could also look into software that helps you develop a web site without having to know much about html code if you don't want to have to depend on friends for help. |
