Reminder: Because we are a privacy service, we do not back up your personal e-mail. This means that when you delete it, it is gone for good and not floating around in some backup that can be retrieved from us against your will. However, it also means you must download and save your important mail, because if you accidently delete it, it's as gone as the mail you wanted deleted. Custom domain - You can also use your own registered domain with us. Your own domain will work with our service just like all the domains we already offer. If you wish to do this please contact helpdesk with your account name and the registered domain name so we can set it up. We can host both web and e-mail for your domain or just the e-mail, your choice. All of our e-mail features will work with both our domains and your own domain after doing so (in other words, you don't lose any of your cotse domains and addresses, you just gain new ones with your own domain), including unlimited aliases in the form of anything@yourdomain.com. Unlike our domains, your account name will not appear in the e-mail address for your own domain. We can also point specific aliases at other cotse accounts if you and your family, friends, or business users also have accounts with us. This service is free with your paid account.
