Jamie is correct in that the annual contract is paid monthly but there is a
cancellation charge if you cancel before the year is up. There may also be
some additional charge if you wish to change the account type before the
first year is complete.
In setting up an account you have to have a user name and password this user
name then forms part of your e-mail address as Jamie has explained. The
advantage of the Plusnet approach is that you have effectively an unlimited
number of e-mail addresses. You can put anything you like before the "@".
Can be very useful when you have to supply your e-mail address during some
web activity. Provide something appropriate before the "@" and you will
know if they are spamming you, or have passed your details on. You can then
direct that mail box to the black hole that Plusnet also supply and not see
that spam any more.
Don't think you can have niaz.khan as a user name but you could have
niazkhan. I think I would either use kahn or think up something else. With
khan as the user name you could have
(E-Mail Removed) as your main e-mail
address.
