Someone tell me emails forward, emails adds, and emails alias are hosting service or domain depend?


If I host somewhere I have only the IP, right? So how can those beautiful thing like myname.com avail for email adds?

And, SubDomain are Domain depend or hosting depend?

Buying a domainname does just only that. Buy you the name.

All the other stuff you mentioned (email, forwards, aliases, and subdomains) come with your hosting account.

So to get online you have to pay 2 parties some money.

1. a one time fee (for one year) to a registrar to register a domainname. Where you buy the domain doesn't matter that much. godaddy.com is very cheap with 8.95 for a one year registration.

2. a monthly fee to a webhostingcompany for providing you diskspace on a server to put your site on. Usually an account also includes email, forwards and aliases. Not everybody offers subdomains, so be sure to check their site first to see if subdomains are included in the monthly fee.
