IMPORTANT TRANSFER INFORMATION

1. Make sure that you have access to the email address listed as the admin contact for the domain. Our transfer process is email verification based, so if your email address listed for the administrative contact of the domain is not current, the transfer will fail.
2. Make sure your domain name is not expired. It is advisable to initiate your transfer at least 7 days prior to expire date, so there will be enough time to complete the process.
3. All transfers require an authentication code when transferring domains to Postrock. You can obtain an authentication code from your current registrar (where the domain is currently registered).
4. We cannot transfer domains that are less than 60 days old. If you registered your domain within the last 60 days, please wait until after 60 days before starting a transfer to Postrock.
5. Make sure your domain name is not locked at the current registrar. Please contact your current registrar to make sure there are no holds or locks when transferring your domain name.(many registrars will automatically place a lock on the domain for security)
6. Domain transfers add 1 year onto your expire date, so you don't lose any time you have paid for. There is one exception to this rule: If the domain was recently reactivated from an expired state, you will not get a year added to the expire date.

Protecting Mailboxes From Spam

05-14-2012

To protect your mailbox from undesirable correspondence, do not publish your e-mail address on Internet forums and switch on the server-side spam filter in your control panel provided by the SpamAssassin software. When you need to publish your e-mail address, create a disposable e-mail address - e-mail alias - for your primary e-mail address, and publish it instead. All messages sent to the e-mail alias will come into your mailbox. Once you start getting spam, remove that alias and create another one. If you have a mailbox at another domain or mail server, you may want to set up a disposable e-mail forwarder. We would advise that you do not read spam e-mails when you receive them, just delete them at once. Even if you have read them, do not respond to them and do not click the "click here to unsubscribe" URLs: spammers will then know that your e-mail address is valid and you will get even more spam.

Organizing Your Site Structure

05-07-2012

If you have an Advanced Plan, you may organize your site structure with subdomains. Subdomains are additional domain names that enable you to: 1) Organize logically the structure of your web site 2) Host additional web sites or parts of your web site on the same server without the need to pay for registration of additional domain names. An example of using subdomains: You have a web site your-product.com dedicated to promoting your software product. For publishing user's guides, tutorials and list of frequently asked questions, you can organize the subdomain 'userdocs' so that your users will be able to access online user documentation directly by visiting the domain name userdocs.your-product.com. To set up a subdomain click on the subdomains icon in your control panel.
