POP3 (Post Office Protocol) is the email workhorse of the Internet.

Originally designed way back in the 1980's and remaining the standard used across the Internet today, POP3  is a simple incoming mail protocol (a formal description of message format and the rules for exchanging those messages) that can be thought of as a "store-and-forward" service.

With POP3, your email is saved in a mailbox on your server account and is transferred to your email client when you check it.

A POP3 email account for the administrative user (in the form of [email protected]) was automatically set up for you when you opened your Domain Registration Services email or web hosting account. You can set up as many additional email addresses as you wish!

Emails sent to this or any other POP3 email address you set up in your web hosting account interface can be retrieved via any email application - such as Outlook, Thunderbird or Mac Mail. If you're on the road without your computer, you can also access your email through any other Internet-connected computer via our powerful webmail feature, included free with every web site or email hosting package. 

Domain Registration Services makes adding, editing, or removing POP3 email accounts a breeze through our very friendly secure web hosting control panel provided with every hosting plan. We also extend the power of email with free autoresponder and forwarding functions. We even provide some great email video tutorials to help making learning POP3 mail administration all the more simpler. Of course, if you should ever need a bit more of a helping hand, our friendly team of experts are here to help.
