Already have a domain?
If you have a domain name registered somewhere else you can leave it there or bring it together with your hosting by performing a domain name transfer. Many customers prefer to keep their hosting and domain together so it can all be managed in one place.

Or you can move the domain to Asporea Hosting, by arranging a domain transfer. Our team are available to help you with this process should you need it.

Email Features
Webmail
Email can be accessed using webmail using any of the following web based programs which are automatically accessible once your control panel has been set up.
IMAP support
IMAP is a method of accessing email messages that are kept on a mail server. In other words, it permits a “client” email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while travelling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
Each email account you create has access to IMAP. You need to configure support for this in your email client.

All accounts have POP3 and SMTP activated, so you can check your email from your preferred email client including Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Entourage, Eudora, Apple Mail, Pocket PC, PDA, iPhone, Android, Blackberry or any other POP3 email program.
