Does anybody know of or use a web hosting service that offers web-based email accounts for the domains? I would like to find a company with a reseller plan and great features like web-based(like hotmail) email, statistics, search engine submission, shopping cart option, PHP, MySQL, SSL, etc.

I found that has all of these except the web-based email does not have a "Sent items" folder that saves sent emails.
 
Hi jackson,
In keeping with forum policy against selling and such I can't give you the link here but I would like to offer the service our firm uses which gives in their advanced plan 1,000 email addresses, 1,000 forwarders and all of the other features you mention you require including a really good control panel for about 260 a year. We have used this firm since changing last year from one of the 'behemoths' that are characterized more for lack of service than anything else - and we have been especially pleased and I have gone on to host two more client's sites and a personal one with them.

If you send me an email to my 'catch-all' email address I'll give you the name and link.

colcrys,

You can post a link to the site, you just can't hype a product too much.

Generally speaking, posting a link to an external site is not a problem, it only becomes a problem when you start promoting the same product or service excessively or promoting your own services either where there is no need, or without clearly stating that you are benefiting in some way.

Ironically, you are more likely to be frowned upon for providing an e-mail address rather than posting the link. Tek-Tips is a knowledgebase, although you are providing an answer to a certain person, there may be 200 other people that benefit from your answer.

Hope this helps Wullie

Hi wullie,
Thanks for the clarification.

Being new to the forum I didn't want to bend the rules - especially as I am very impressed with the forum and the participants and like being part of this community.

So OK; jackson, the host we use now is Canaca.com ( and I am really impressed with their service. They took it upon themselves to phone me here in China (actually a Canadian expat from the other side of the country from xutopia) on a Saturday just to explain away a problem I had with my initial use of their Control Panel feature and this and numerous instances of quality 'sold' me.

And again, the 1,000 email addresses, 1,000 forwarders and unlimited responders etc. in their 'Advanced Plan' didn't hurt either.

The incredible cloying pit we were in previously with Interl**d is now just a bitter memory and slowly sinking.

They may be worth your investigation anyway.
 
thanks for the advice. I will look into these options and figure out what suits my needs.

Big thanks!
