Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Domain Names : Paypal, fast email forwarding and free ownership transfer. Where?

[pt2004]

I am looking for a domain registration website that accepts paypal, have a fast email forwarding (i am using enom but it takes 2-3 hours to receive email) and have a free online ownership transfer. There are any service with prices for less than USD$8.50 with that features?

Just wonder how registrars make their profits? For US$2.50 a year, you'll get a parking page or even URL forwarding, an on-line domain management control panel which allows ownership transfer and DNS modifications, not to mention the lightning fast e-mail forwarding.

Good luck, pt2004. By the way, how are you able to isolate among other factors that it's eNom that should be responsible for the slow mail? Just curious. Thanks.

I have a website that uses email forwarding. It only takes 2 seconds...

There are A LOT of factors that affect how and when an e-mail arrives at your mailbox.

It depends on:

a) the ISP (whether dial-up or dsl/cable) where you send the message
b) the host of the intermediary domain (forwarding)
c) the host of the final recipient (forwarded)
d) the ISP where the message is retrieved

Any one of them (or perhaps some of them may overlap) could contribute to your delay.

Don't really understand what you mean by "a website that uses email forwarding"; are you using a web-based e-mail?

I have a pop3 email account from my isp.
I have a website that uses email forwarding to my pop3 email and i own domains at enom that are also forwarding to the same pop3 email.
I send two email messages at the same time, one for the website email and the other to the Enom email.
The email message from the website email takes less than 2 seconds to forward to my isp email, but the enom email, sometimes, takes more than two hours to forward to my main email account.
I think that the email forwarding system of Enom, sometimes, doesn't work as it should be...
