Mail
Forwarding - Once your domain name is active
worldwide, you can receive all email addressed to your domain
such as webmaster@yourname.com, sales@yourname.com, etc. By
default, all email addressed to your domain will forward to your
real bright.net email address. For convenience, specific
mail forwarding options are available if you need specific
addresses each to be forwarded to different addresses on the
Internet. For example, email addressed to webmaster@yourname.com
could forward to an account at bright.net, but sales@yourname.com
could forward to a HotMail account. Available with all plans.
Domain
Mail Accounts - In addition to mail forwarding, users
have the option to retrieve email directly from POP3 mailboxes
on the mail server using an email program such as
Outlook Express. Each of our
plans also offers a specified number of configurable POP3
accounts. The additional email accounts will be assigned unique
usernames and passwords to ensure privacy. Available with all
plans.
SSL
Secure Server - SSL (Secure Socket Layer) allows
users to collect data, such as credit card information, in a
secure environment. Information submitted via a secure
form is sent to the server in an encrypted mode. Users may
choose to research methods such as encrypted e-mail (PGP),
CyberCash, or other solution for
retrieving such information from their Web sites. We utilize the
Red Hat Secure Server software.
There is a $150.00 charge for the Thawte
secure server certificate and this is renewed annually. We also
have a one-time setup charge of $50.00 and there is a $15.00
monthly charge for secure server services.
