Tip: Use Pop up clients to reduce need for more space on the server

Generally emails that come to your account are stored on the hard disk of the server. If you leave all the mails on the server, than you need to buy a lot of space just for email storage and depending you the volume of mails you receive, in couple of months it may grow to many thousand MB (Mega Bytes).

We recommend you use a POP client to fetch all the mail you get to your personal computer. A POP client connects to you server and gets all the mail from the server to your local machine. Now you are using your server space only as a temporary store for your emails and this way you will only need about 10-20MB per email account.

You can use POP clients such as Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora or Mozilla Thunderbird for fetching mails from the server.

We will send you all the information you need to download and configure POP clients in welcome email. You will get this mail after we have activated your hosting account.

Why ADPS does not become a registrar of domain names?

We are a domain name reseller of Direct Information Pvt. Ltd. We did consider option of becoming a registrar ourselves. Looking at the economics of the business, we found that we can serve our customers better if we resell domain names from an ICANN accredited registrar, following are some of the reasons.

A registrar needs to invest a lot of money in IT systems and infrastructure upfront and can not recover that money unless they take a fat margin on the domain names they sell. You can checkout yourself

A. Direct Information has a retail price of $12.99 on its domain names
C. Network solutions, another registrar, sells, domain names for $35.
D. All the reseller of these registrar get far lower rates and can offer all the feature that a registrar can offer its customers directly, nobody will become a reseller unless they did so.

As a reseller, we can offer you all the features with domain name as if you were buying from the registrar directly. It is same as buying from a wholesaler and selling at a retail shop. Customers get the same brand, same feature as they would have received from the company directly, but for far cheaper prices.

The crux of the story is that we can provide our customers better value if we resell the domain names from a full feature registrar such as Direct Information Pvt. Ltd (http://www.directi.com)
