I'm just about to set up a new website and buy the URL. Initially, the basic site will be a Wordpress based template while we get the rest of the company is setup so it comes with free hosting (or so i'm told), with the plan to buy or rent a server later this year and have a proper site built once we have stuff to sell.
At this point the idea is to also set up a section as a mail server which can be accessed from our laptops and iphones etc (i'll be getting someone more geeky than me to do all this )
What i could do with knowing is...
a) is there a domain registrar company who provide free domain specific email handling as part of the registration cost at a reasonable rate? (ie, if i had swingingheaven.co.uk i could have mail@, meaty@ etc for the URL, not type of address, only need 3-5 addresses)- these need to be pop3 if possible to enable forwarding to etc.
b) is the idea of hosting the site and mail server with mobile access a fairly easy thing to do as i think we'll have more than enough spare capacity on the server?
c) is there anything i should look for to make sure the transition from email client to self hosting mail server is as easy as possible?
d) why is computer geekery still so bloody baffling after 25 years? :haha:
