What does hosting mean?
Hosting is the provision of computer facilities for storage of your web pages, which is permanently connected to the Internet, has reliable power supply with backup, and is continually monitored to ensure its constant availability. There will also be back-ups taken of the data on a regular basis to minimize the impact of any problems that may occur with the computer - however, as with any data stored on computer, you should also keep a copy of any information that you store on our servers.

How many email addresses can I have?
You can use as many email aliases (the bit before the @ symbol is the alias - i.e.: - (alias@yourdomain.com) as you wish. However, the number of separately identified POP3 accounts you have is limited to the quantity your particular hosting product includes. (See Hosting Package above)

What is a POP3 account?
The easiest way of considering a POP3 is as a box in a sorting office. Mail for a particular group of people (members of one family, or of one organization) is placed in that box. With email, each individual member of a family, or departments in an organization, can have a separate POP3 if they need to - so that when they connect to the Internet to retrieve mail, they will only have access to the mail that has been put into their POP3. Each POP3 will have a 'user name' and 'password' associated with it.
This won't limit the number of email addresses (or aliases) that you can use, merely the number of separate boxes that the mail can be sorted into.

So one POP3 account could be set to receive mail addressed to info@eastvincent.com, parks@eastvincent.com, and secretary@eastvincent.com - or alternatively the mail could be routed to three POP3 accounts, allowing each to be collected at different times by different people from different locations.
