Host and Domain Names

been given specific information about host or domain names then use the following examples
as a guide:

•

If your main e-mail account with your ISP is [email protected], then use

as your host

name. (Your ISP might call this your account, user, host, computer or system name.)

•

If your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.com, then use

xxx.yyy.com

as the domain name.
