I'm sorry, I should have been more clear.  I've had other providers who 
place limits on how many domains may be utilizing the account 
resources... Now-a-days this is a very antiquated policy and I'm sure 
you'll never see it, but it is what made me leave FutureQuest.net (that 
and they cost tons more).

It's still such a pleasure to me that I make mention of it even though 
it is a bit anachronistic.  The great thing is that all domain and 
subdomain stuff is entirely automated and there are no delays.... you 
register a domain or setup a sub domain and within 10 minutes to an hour 
or so you can start using.... with FutureQuest and others it was days 
and then the 72 hour DNS prorogation.

There are no limits to how many you can pay to register (which is 
different than my past experience).  Further, most TLDs are only $5.99 a 
year... also, there are 5 domain registrations complimentary with your 
account, so if I'm paying $120 a year and that's a $60 value well....


To Jon... Yes... they've had some hiccups... there are a few annoyances 
(but very few).  Very powerful, very  affordable, very efficient.  Most 
of the negatives were early on in the USA endeavors and they worked it 
out....    the only constant is a crappy crappy webmail client which 
they rewrote a while back at the hue and cry of their customers.  It 
also sucks, but once you are on a paying account you can choose to use 
IMAP4 and then install SquirrelMail and use that instead of their client 
(if you're a webmail user0.

Very very happy... If I would have complaint it would be that the i/o 
pipe is not the fastest in the world but it is adequate.  You only 
notice it really when you're trying to transfer a super high volume of 
stuff and you're stuck there watching the progress bar crawl from one 
end to the other.
