View Full Version : Anyone use BN3 to forward a domain?

I signed up for that service (forwarding not only mail, but also the domain URL to another site), but now I can't find where to log in at BN3.

There is a place to log in to their new and unrelated eService, and a page at http://www.bn3.com/email.jx about their older domain forwarding and email sevices. But the only place you can get from there seems to be the "Sign Up Here" for new users. I have already been all the way through that, and logging in there only lets me submit my domain--which I have already done. There seems to be no way I can get in and manage my account.

I'm probably crazy--does anyone know where I can go to log in and make changes to my forwarding? (I'd email them but they charge $14.95 per incident.)

I got in the first time as a new user, and I set up forwarding just fine. Now it has stopped working, so I want to log in a second time and see if I can tell why.

Thanks

Try zoneedit.com instead. You won't go back to anyone else.

Now I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but try http://mail.yourdomain.com and enter in your admin user/pass

there, you'll see a screen much like your users will see, *but* with an admin link at the top (believe it is top left).

Yes, ZoneEdit.com is much better than BN3.com. I tried BN3's services months ago. Mail forwarding and mailing list worked well, I didn't happen to any problems for such services. But, subdomain host mapping was buggy.(BN3 let you mapp subname.yourdomain.com to an I.P. address). Some of the mapping table were wrong, even everything was ok in your admin/subdomain setting pages.
Only one thing, ZoneEdit doesn't support mailing list.
I prefer to ZoneEdit.

Thanks--zoneedit.com will do everything I need, including solving some future needs I anticipate. They answered my email questions immediately, too. The price is very reasonable--free for my needs, and not bad even when I add in some clients of mine that need something similar.

(I give up on BN3--I didn't know about logging in to mail.mydomain.com, but when I do that it asks for a username which is NOT a full email address. The only username I am aware of having with BN3 is my current full email address at a different domain. Oh well--I think they broke their old services when the started their newest venture, and important information is not getting to new sign-ups. Zoneedit.com it is!)

I too will jump on the zoneedit bandwagon :)

I first tried centralinfo.net and could not get my mail to work. As soon as I used zoneedit it worked fine!
