A specific type of e-mail forwarding address which enables the capture and forwarding of all mail sent to non-existent e-mail addresses associated with your domain name.

A catch-all e-mail forwarding address could be used to process non-existent e-mail addresses specified on a website or recover potentially lost e-mail traffic that occasionally occurs when e-mail addresses have been incorrectly addressed or spelled by the sender. For example:

sals@yourbiz.co.uk

-->

you@yourisp.net

A catch-all e-mail forwarding address is included as standard with each domain name registered through Progredi e-Business.

Essentially, the easily remembered address of a business, organisation or individual on the Internet. A domain name points to the location of the web server that hosts your website and/or the mail server that processes, stores and allows you access to your e-mails. For example:

All domain names registered are required to point somewhere. Usually this is a website, but where one does not exist a domain name may be held or 'parked' on our name servers.

This gives you the freedom to acquire your domain name as early as possible and make use of the e-mail forwarding addresses provided, until such time as your website is up and running.

A domain name parking service is included as standard with each domain name registered through Progredi e-Business.

Also referred to as domain parking or name parking.

A feature that automatically responds to incoming mail received by a specific e-mail address at your domain by returning a predetermined message to the sender.

An e-mail address set up and configured to forward any incoming mail to one or more alternative e-mail addresses. The new destination address(es) may be within or without your domain name, and may even be webmail e-mail addresses, such as Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.

Three basic e-mail forwarding configuration options are available, which can be combined to achieve just about any e-mail management scenario you can think of:

One-to-one

Many-to-one

One-to-many

The number of years a domain name can be registered for. The registries that oversee the administration and allocation of domain names set this time period. Currently UK domains can only be registered for a period of 2 years, while global (US) domains can be registered from one to a maximum of ten years.

Also referred to as period of registration.

In the management of domain names, the redirection or forwarding of visitors to one domain name or Internet address on to another domain name. There are two forms of URL forwarding:

cloaked URL forwarding - where the domain name being accessed appears in the address bar at the top of a browser, hiding or cloaking the fact that the web site being viewed actually resides at a different location. Commonly used to take advantage of free web space. Also referred to as masked URL forwarding

uncloaked URL forwarding - where a visitor accessing a specific domain name is forwarded or redirected to the principle or new domain name in use. Commonly used when a business leases more than one domain name or has changed their domain name. Also referred to as unmasked URL forwarding

A URL forwarding service is included as standard with each domain name registered through Progredi e-Business.

Also referred to as domain forwarding, web forwarding or URL redirecting.
