Howdy,

I believe there is another Stephan on here, my brethren, so perhaps he can answer these tid-bits for me... or anyone else for that matter  

I see a lot of posts with the same question, but the lingo is muddled and confused:

1)  Can I do a DIR alias?  Ex: www.mymomsplace.com, then I register www.mydadsplace.com   I want mydadsplace.com to point to the folder:  "http://www.mymomsplace.com/mydadsplace"

I know I can do 15 subdomains (this.that.com) etc... but that's not what I am asking.

How much does DIR aliasing cost?

2)  How is the mail server?  Do you know what server is being run, are there good spam filters?  Is it possible to filter my mail server with something like bl.spamcop.net?

3)  Anyone have any experience running quicktime files off this host?  I plan to do a few of them!

that's all for now

thanks all

Hi,

You are the first Stephan spelt this way I have talked to!

My name is not Steven, as some people think, it's Stephan, with an "a", which is quite rare, or so I thought!

Anyway, your questions...

You can point domains to seperate directories for the fee of $2.50 per domain per month.

So, you would have www.yourdomain.com being your main site,

then buy seconddomain.com which would actually be www.yourdomain.com/seconddomain/

Users wouldn't be able to tell, www.seconddomain.com would appear in the browser.
This doesn't use frames by the way, it's done the proper way!

The mail server runs "Exim".

Spamassassin is provided - http://spamassassin.org/

It will mark spam for you, so you can setup a filter to delete it/move it into a spam folder so you can read it, check it's not spam, then delete it.

Spam filters can be set up from your control panel.

Quicktime files will work, and stream over the http protocol. It works pretty well, I've tried it before.

Just change the nameservers to the lunarpages ones listed on the FAQ page of www.lunarpages.com

Copy your existing websites to the lunarpages servers then wait for the DNS settings to change.

You should disable forums and stuff like that, so that the two copies don't get out of sync.

E-mail billing@lunarpages.com to get the domains pointing to different directories sorted out.

Check the minutes... me and Stephan have done a simultaneous reply, LOL

You know, I just have to say my bit here  

We have a heap of tickets these last few days from guys named Stephan and Steven!
