1- How many domain forwarding aliases do I get with a domain name? Can I forward like:

Both of these go to the main root directory as normal:
mydomain.com
www.mydomain.com

But, my aliases/forwards go to subdirectories:
__Alias___________________Forward to
jim.www.mydomain.com___mydomain.com/jim
you.www.mydomain.com___mydomain.com/you
them.www.mydomain.com__mydomain.com/them
*.www.mydomain.com_____mydomain.com/wild

Not a sub domain setup just forwarding.
I do this with my current domains I register at DiscountDomainRegistry.com and just forward to different directories at my single domain name which resides on my current host.


2- I am thinking of getting the Surpass reseller package.

My question is.. If I go for the Surpass reseller, are the parameters specified in your options table what I get for my account including my customers? In other words 500meg for my stuff and my customers (we all share the same 500meg).

Or when I resell an account, I get another 500 meg for that account?

Or when I resell, I resell a 100meg section (or whatever) of my 500meg and we divide up bandwidth as well? Leaving me with 400meg to resell or use for my site.

Thanks in advance...

I haven't ate lunch yet and your first question confuses me, but I think you can do all of that.

For the reseller question, you get your own 500megs for yourself, and 500 to resell.

Your get 10gb of bandwidth for yourself, you resell the amount of bandwidth stated on the plan page.

You__ same amount of space, 10gb bandwidth
Resell space & BW___ as listed

Sorry 'bout that.. ;-/

Basically I really need to know how many individual alias names with seperate forwards I get with a domain name purchase. I could not find access to that in the control panel demo. I see unlimited in e-mail and where but, not in domain name... I have been known to be blind at times but, I could not find that function there.


Your response to my reseller question answered my query. Thanks...

Actually, that is a subdomain and what they do. And you have an unlimited number of those available.
