No more email on PlusNet!!!! Hooray!

I have just migrated the last of my email accounts from Plusnet over to Mythic Beasts. Historically, I have had my own domain hosted at NamesCo, which forwarded the email to Plusnet's email. It was ok, but seemed rather sluggish at times.

It's costing me just under £2 per month at Mythic Beasts, and once I moved my DNS for my private domain name to them, things are SO much quicker.

As well as being able to set up multiple accounts (so same as at Plusnet), I can choose what happens for incoming emails to each email account, and that can be multiple things: send a reply, put it into my email box (ready for collection), and forward it to others.

And mail arrives QUICKLY.

Oh, yeah, the webmail client just WORKS! Instantly. Like you'd expect it to.

If you pay yearly, it only £20, saving £4 😀

I used to do this. I have since found that domain renewals are cheaper with Mythic Beasts than Namesco, so I have also moved my domain registrar over to my Mythic account. Namesco make a nominal charge for you to move the service but there's nothing to pay Mythic Beasts until the domain's current expiry date.

"Namesco make a nominal charge for you to move the service but there's nothing to pay Mythic Beasts until the domain's current expiry date."

Thanks, useful information!!

I was considering taking the step, but was worried that Namesco might charge loadsa £££. I'll look into it once Christmas is done.

Another advantage I'm seeing of having moved my email is that when I do a 'check for new emails' it happens a LOT quicker! That's on my phone, my tablet and my PC.

Yes, I think its a bit of a cheek Namesco charging to move a domain away!. I discovered that when I moved the office domains to MB. Namesco's prices to renew were just way too expensive...
