few questions

Hello,

I'm thinking about switching over to you guys and I have a few questions.

Will I be given an IP address or some otherway where I can ftp my file and test everything out before I switch my domains to point to your name servers? I need the ability to test everything out before I change my dns settings to point to your name servers. For example the last few providers I had gave me an IP address to upload my files up to and test while DNS was been pushed out/updated.

Once the account is created, will I be able to go in and setup my email accounts so that when DNS does propagate out, my email accounts will already be setup?

Will I be able to point my .net and .com to the same site (root directory) (I
guess this would be the same as parking domain right?)?

Could I point different domains to directories? ie www.fubar.com goes to
the /fubar directory and www.blah.net goes to the /blah directory? I guess this will be an domain-addon?

Will I still be able to have email at both domains? Right now my current
setup is if somebody sends to .net or .com, I can get it when I login to my
.com account. so if I create an account called bill, bill@domain.com and
bill@domain.net are created and the email can be received when bill pops
into the server. Or will it be two different email accounts?

Do you have the ability to host international domains? ie .de if I were to
point the dns servers to you?

On email attachments, is there a limit on sending and receiving?

On the custome error pages, could those be saved as php pages (use php code),
instead of shtml? Currently I have my error pages written in php.

Any way to make webmail just use Horde? I guess a sub-domain will work?

On Mysql databases, do you guys us 'localhost' as the server name or is it
something else?

On the baby hosting, once the unlimited domains special is up, will those already on that type of hosting be grandfathered?


Thanks,
Seth

Yes you are supplied an IP address/URL where you can access your share on the server to upload and test. URL is http://ip/~username

Once the account is created, will I be able to go in and setup my email accounts so that when DNS does propagate out, my email accounts will already be setup?

Yes

Yes

Yes

All goes to the same email account

Yes

On email attachments, is there a limit on sending and receiving?

Was told 20mb, but have received larger.

On the custome error pages, could those be saved as php pages (use php code),
instead of shtml? Currently I have my error pages written in php.

Yes you can use custome error pages.

Any way to make webmail just use Horde? I guess a sub-domain will work?

3 different web mail clients; Horde, Neomail, and squirrle mail

On Mysql databases, do you guys us 'localhost' as the server name or is it
something else?

Localhost

On the baby hosting, once the unlimited domains special is up, will those already on that type of hosting be grandfathered?

Should be.
