E-Mail Soln. (Yearly Only): Free Google mail (10x 7GB mail) (Domain required*)

Domain as in a https://www.1and1.com/website-builder or can i use my .astahost.com site?
Also whats the deadline for astahosts service? Cuz if its a couple of weeks away i think i can get an extra 10$ and get that .com before i switch.

Also whats so special about it? and do you think getting a username@mydomain.com is better? the @mydomain looks more professional i dunno. Is mydomain here just mysite, or mysite.astahost

Domain as in https://www.1and1.com/website-builder, i.e. a top-level domain name (com, net, org etc.), so you won't be able to use Google Mail's service if you use a subdomain. But don't worry - the "offer" isn't limited. It is how things will work from now on, so you can take your time accumulating myCENTs.

Were you refering to the google mail's service or did you mean the credit system won't be suspended and i can continue like before? If not, which i think is the case, when is the deadline for transfer? iam a bit slow in understanding stuff Edited October 30, 2008 by khalilov (see edit history)

I was talking about the new Credits System, but I misunderstood your question - I was saying that Xisto will continue providing hosting services based on myCENTs indefinitely, but the same doesn't go for the old Credits System. I am not sure for how long it will operate, but you safest bet would be to transfer.

Maybe you already understood from pyost answer, else here is how I would explain the way the myname@mydomain is related to mydomain.com which is related to mysubdomain.astahost.com
If you have your own domain (http://www.something.com/ for instance) you master the DNS entries for this domain. Of course everything is easier if Xisto is your provider because he makes everything automatically compatible with Xisto, but in pure theory you own the DNS entries of your domain and you put what is needed.
If this domain is parked on your Xisto subdomain (something.astahost.com for instance), when you connect to your Xisto cpanel you master how the mails to this domain are redirected to the DNS of your mail provider.
And if your domain mail is hosted by google (basic free way or enterprise expensive way), the DNS of your mail provider are these provided by google in your google apps domain mail management settings tags and you enter them in your Xisto cpanel mail configuration tag.
I don't know if what I explained here is clear enough. If I am wrong, maybe Opaque or BuffaloHelp could explain it more precisely if they happen read this post.
