Glossary

you are allowed to store on our servers with this package.
Your email inboxes do not count towards this limit. 100Mb is
sufficient to host over 1,000 webpages.

Data Transfer Limit:
Your data transfer limit is the sum of all inbound and
outbound traffic to the web server. Each time a visitor
accesses your site, or you upload files to your web server
you are transferring data, all of which counts towards this
limit. For a regular website with no large multimedia files,
5Gb of web traffic is equivalent to about 50,000 page views.

POP:
POP (Post Office Protocol) is a client/server protocol in
which email is received and held for you on the server. When
you check your email using products like Eudora or Outlook,
the mail is downloaded to your computer and the mail is
deleted on the server.

Email Alias: Email aliases aren't email accounts with
their own mail accounts, but pointers to email accounts. For
example, you can create an email alias called manager@your-domain.com
and point it to john.smith@your-domain.com, which has a
mailbox. Email aliases are useful when your real email
account changes - you can just point your alias to the new
address - or if you want to receive mail from many generic
addresses.

AutoResponder: AutoResponder will send an
automatic message back to any sender, who sends you a new
message with a notification of your choice.

Catchall Email: An email address that you
designate to "catch" all incoming emails that have
no valid recipient. For example, if your email address is
john.smith@your-domain.com but someone sends a message to
jonsmith@your-domain.com, which doesn't exist, you will
still receive the email. The original sender will not
receive an error that his or her email has bounced.
