Host and Domain Names

Some ISPs use a specific host or domain name—like

. If you haven’t

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

aaa

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.

Account name:

Domain name:

Login Name

If your ISP requires a login name and password (possibly because you have a PPPoE or PPPoA
account), fill in the following:

Login name: (may be your full e-mail address)

Password:

Note: The login name could be called a user name or account name by your ISP.

example, c_jones is a different login name than C_Jones or cjones.
