If you have bothered to read the application qualifications they only allow one domain per person, same goes with the other free domain servers, although ineffect what they do screen is e-mail addresses. If you register with a different e-mail addresses you should be able to register as many domains as you wish.

Just try it again. My experiences with them are that they seem to loose signups quite frequently.

I NEVER received a confirmation e-mail when I signed up there eons ago. I just kept checking the name every so often and it finally commenced working one day. Then I made use of the "lost password" feature to get the PW that I never received in the first place.

at start namezero.com's email system was extremely bad (and perhaps it still is). i think they run all their email in and out through a program (possibly perl).. they add the 'namezero.com' tag lines to the end of every email. sometimes i don't receive test emails i send to myself just to see how slow their email service is.

so even their 'confirmation' email sometimes don't get to the person that signed up.

also.. about signing up twice.. namezero says they verify your address (home address) to see if its correct and the domains are one to an address. if they get entries with an address already signed up they will delete it.

I don't know about that... I accidently got two domains there and had the same home address for both. I signed up for the first one before they opened and anyone knew about them. Never heard anything back and then heard they were open, so I signed up for a different one. Later on, after accidently discovering that the second one was working (with no confirmation), I checked the original one and guess what... It was there too.

Probably the best way to accomplish that would be to use a cheap registrar, (gkg.net is $8.99 a year right now), then use centralinfo.net for DNS and use wzr.net's IP address, then forward from there to your site. There's a tutorial file at WZR that details how to do this. You can change MX records at Central Info. to use everyone.net and can also setup a subdomain for your e-mail at that site. I use this setup for one of my sites and despite how many places it goes thru, it's still pretty quick.

My main site is: http://www.alexiacafe.com, and my "personal" site is http://www.mandrake.com.ru. I also have an e-mail site: http://www.1301.net. I originally got that one to start an FWP, but it didn't work out so right now only the e-mail is there (thru everyone.net). Also I have a client site set up this way: http://www.steelegymnastics.com. Been using these services for almost a year now and have been pretty satisfied. :)

Megacool... http://centralinfo.net offers webforwarding now, so you may be able to skip one step and do it all from there.
