Two questions from me:-
Usernames on shared domains:
1 to 6 letters: $1.00 per user per year
7 to 12 letters: $0.25 per user per year
13+ letters: $0.10 per user per year
1. Why does the length of a mailbox name make a
difference?
2. Do you support IPv6?
- nine_k 5y agoShorter emails are more catchy, and their total possible number is smaller. So they can be more valuable. boss@example.com is cooler for some than john.n.johnson.2@example.com, and they will pay.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoI think there is also another reason: Shorter addresses receive more spam and spam attempts from guessers.
- Felz 5y ago1. Basically what nine_k said. It's kind of a trivial point most of the time- honestly might be a bit overpriced right now. 2. Not at the moment- IPV6 support is a little dicier for mailservers because the scarcer IPV4 address is often used as a antispam signal.
- chaz6 5y agoBut if I am using my own domain, what difference does it make if it is more "valuable"? Sadly the lack of IPv6 is a deal breaker for me.
- koselig 5y agoOh I think there's some confusion here: for your own domains it doesn't cost anything extra, so go nuts with addresses. Purelymail also has some domains you can use like I can get "koselig@purelymail.com" and then I'm charged in the 7 letters tier for it. At least that's how it's been for me as a happy user of PM for the past year and a half.
