Additional addresses & pop3 mailboxes beyond the Platinum plan may be purchased in
blocks of 10 for $5/month per block. A 20% discount will apply if you
wish to pay on a yearly basis. Example: You want 30 pop3 mailboxes. You
will need to purchase the Platinum plan for $10/month which will give you 10
mailboxes. Two additional blocks of 10 addresses are $5/month each, for a
total of $20/month for 30 addresses. If you wish to pre-pay for the entire
year, your total cost is $192. ($20/mo * 12 months = $240,
minus 20% discount = $192. You save $48/year.)
* - Unlimited if you have your own domain or sub-domain. Otherwise, none.
(Click here for more information on domains and sub-domains). Basically
what this boils down to is if your e-mail address is of the form
you@twistedbits.net (or you@dakota-truck.net),
you would have no e-mail aliases because you are sharing a domain with other
users, and there would be the possibility of two users defining the same
alias, or having an alias you define conflicting with the actual address of another
user... However, if your address is of the form
you@yourdomain.twistedbits.net (or
you@yourdomain.dakota-truck.net or
you@yourdomain.com), you can have unlimited e-mail aliases at
that subdomain or domain. (Because you are the only user defining aliases
at that domain or sub-domain, there is no chance that an alias you define
will conflict with that of another user, therefore you may create as many
aliases as you like).
** - If you don't have your own domain or sub-domain, you can still have a
forwarder, but only one per mailbox. (Thus, with a domain or sub-domain,
you could define as many addresses that forward to somewhere else as you
want, but without a domain or sub-domain, you would only have one address
and thus will only be able to "forward" that single address.)
