What is the cheapest .COM domain provider?

Can I use Yahoo mail if I already have my own domain and do not wish to transfer the domain to Yahoo?

  • I have my own business domain at which I receive email. Let's say for purposes of this question that my domain is mydomain.dom. I access my email at webmail.mydomain.com. The problem is that I receive a huge amount of SPAM at my mydomain.com email address. Since I also use Yahoo mail for personal purposes, I know about SpamGuard and find that it seems to work pretty well. I'd like to do one of two things to get the SPAM under control: 1. Use Yahoo to get my business email at the existing business email address (example: [email protected]), but WITHOUT transferring my domain to Yahoo. I've already paid my hosting provider for a year's service and started becoming familiar with their control panel. 2. Continue receiving email at mydomain.com, but somehow interject a SpamGuard-type application into the receipt of emails. If I do this, I need something that is relatively easy to administrate and does not become more of a nuisance than the SPAM itself. Thank you. Dave

  • Answer:

    move your domain over to godaddy.com and use their spam email service. for a domain provider not to offer spam blockage on their email service shows they are a cheap domain server. If its register.com, run as fast as you can from them.

Exactly... within your host's control panel, there should be a way to assign a forwarding address to whatever your mailbox points to... In other words you can point [email protected] to [email protected] and use yahoo's spam filter, which is nearly superior to most filters out there, imho... I would suggest to try and ween yourself away from the [email protected] account, and create a newer one (also in that control panel) for business purposes, check them both (or have them both filter into the same yahoo account for a few years, etc.. then eventually get rid of the one all the spammer have... you'll be getting spam for years... to eliminate spam in the future, don't publish your actual email on your website, either put in a (a) or make a jpg and make people type it out manually... also, this won't apply to you, but to others out there, who can afford to 'overload' they're account for a few weeks, or months... just max out the storage on your server (ie: send a bunch of big messages and don't remove them from the server)... then the spammers get a 'bounce' message, that they can get a 'credit' for, from the people they bought the list from... and after a few weeks of that... the amount of spam you get will be greatly reduced... and then comes mostly in spurts...
