Game Horizons Email Service

http://www.gamehorizons.net/email/

What do you think of the idea, would you sign up, do you know how I can get people to sign up?

Or does the idea suck?

Comments please

Do you get spam filtering with that? (if you don't, maybe you should add it)

Also, comparing the price with similar offerings:
http://www.beyondunreal.com/main/site/pop3.php

it seems maybe a touch pricey?

Yes spam should be filtered automatically! Yes perhaps I could lower the price, but do you think a lot of people would sign up?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I don't know how many visitors gamehorizons.net gets, but the forums here are certainly pretty quiet. I probably wouldn't use it myself - I already have far too many mail accounts

On the good side I guess it might be fairly easy for you to do, in which case it's pretty much a no-lose situation.

I would probably advertise this on the main page for you to get the money rolling in.

That would be great

Would you be able to make a simple design for it? Mines all text and it looks exceedingly bad lol!

Cheaper than hotmail?!?!?!

Search for Posts by Lord Of The Computers

I checked the e-mail service page and I saw that it said that it was much cheaper than Hotmail, but I use hotmail and its completly free. (exept if you want extra storage) If you meant something else... say it....

He meant the paid service where they don't randomly bounce your emails.

Do you get 50mb storage in the free hotmail

d8cam: Would it be possible for you to make a small design then?

Made a new subdomain for the email service and lowered the prices:

Hotmail...

If I want extra storage I dont need to pay monthly, just once. Things I'll get If I want extra-storage:
*10MB bigger inbox
*Ability to send files thats bigger than 3MB
*Lifetime account
*30MB on MSN Groups
*Get my mail scanned before it goes to inbox

Do you have virus scan on your e-mail service?
Btw, have anyone signed up yet?

Hello? I dont know if you can read or not. 10MB is far less than 50MB. 3MB attachments are far less than 10MB attachments. Lifetime account is obvious. MSN Group, who cares. GH email includes scanning as far as I'm aware now.

And fine if you dont want to pay monthly you can pay yearly. You dont have to pay Hotmail just once for the entire life of the account. Its yearly.

Now dont write anything else until it makes hotmail look good.
