Registering Domain Names

Rubble can register your domain name on your behalf, or arrange a domain name transfer. We can register the following domains:

Registration or renewal of a domain is $50 (+GST) per year, and must be paid in advance.

Emails

Once you have a domain registered, there are two options:

1. Forward the email to yourdomain.co.nz to an existing email address (but we wouldn't recommend Xtra email) or you could

2. Configure your email on your computer so you receive your emails to yourdomain.co.nz direct on your computer using the following settings, which you will then need to use to configure your email at your end. We would provide you with a password and you can use the settings outlined below.
PLEASE NOTE: If you don't have a website hosted with us, there is a $100+GST initial set up cost and a $100+GST per year email hosting fee.

With Outlook or Outlook express:
Email Address: anyone@yourdomain.com
Incoming Mail Server Type: POP3
Incoming Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.yourisp.com (preferred) or mail.yourdomain.com / .co.nz etc
Account Name: 'anyone' (for catch all address) someone@yourdomain.com for an address that you add.
Password: Your hosting account or added E-mail account's password

We do have outgoing SMTP servers, however, we recommend that you use your dial up or network access for the smtp function of your e-mail program. The reason is simple - our servers run faster with less email being sent through them, and since you have an ISP to connect to the internet, you get an email account from them. But, for many of you, you have AOL, or another large supplier. These have different rules. If you use AOL, you need to use mail.yourdomain.com in your e-mail program when it asks for your SMTP (outgoing) mail server, and you must check off "My server requires Authentication." If it asks for your outgoing mail server username and password, this is the username and password for your actual hosting account - not your email account. If you use MSN, and several others, they will not allow you to use anything but them in that line (this is a security measure to prevent SPAM.)

If you have MSN, or another that gives you an error of: "Relay Denied", You must use YOUR dialup SMTP information, where you are asked for your outgoing SMTP account. You should obtain this information from your dialup Internet Service Provider.
