Advantages: excellent uptime, loads of domains to choose from Disadvantages: it's no longer free, templates aren't very good
Another.com is a great web site offering e-mail domain address and e-mail services at a great price. They have a massive range of domain name extensions that can all be controlled through one account. This review covers my experiences with another.com, and another.com as a web site offering e-mail addresses and my
conclusion.
My Experience with Another.com
***************************************
Here is an overview of my experience with another.com ... ...on afterwards about what features another.com offers.
-- History --
I first joined another.com about five years ago when it was a free e-mail service, it was great, a free e-mail service and you could choose up to 20 different domain extension all under one account. I had to sign up! I used about 6
different domain names to start off with and I use 2 at the moment with the option of signing up for more but I keep with just a couple as the novelty ...

Advantages: NO SPAM. NO SPAM. NO SPAM. Disadvantages: It isn't free
...now been a subscriber to another.com for just over a year, and in all that time could count the number of unsolicited emails I’ve received on the fingers of one hand.

Because although another.com do offer you a month’s free trial of their email service, after your month is up they require you to pay them £23.95 to continue using the service for the following ... ...that you can actually create your own exclusive email address.
They have literally thousands to choose from, and you are bound to find one that either tickles your fancy or relates to your business or profession.
As a subscriber, you can create up to 21 different email addresses, that you can use for different purposes.

Advantages: A fun alternative, as good as any of the big boys. Disadvantages: Whilst they've got rid of the sponsorship (Apparently), they are now charging for the service. Is it really worth it?
I came across another.com last year, after seeing their name on a number of billboard ads. Their selling point was that you could select your own URLs to go with you e-mail address. As I was getting a bit disenchanted with my previous account with a different provider I decided to join up.
The site provides the standard the standard facilities that you'd expect from a free e-mail provider. You can send and receive emails without any great problems. ... ...use that name for your another.com emails, and you can allow other another.com members of your choice to use it as well. They will also point the domain name at the URL of your choice, so it's an easy way to personalise your website. All this for only £10 a year, a reasonable price compared to the alternatives.
Drawbacks, only a couple. When my mum set up the Domain Name for her site through them (At my recommendation), it took a while before the ...

Advantages: Loads of addresses Disadvantages: Nothing flash
Another.com is great in that it's free. The other special feature of it is the shear number of alias's and email addresses you can have. The choice is massive, so personalising your email is easy. Actually getting the different email addresses is a dull and tedious process, but mercifully short.
I first used this site because a friend had told me about it. One advantage that I have found is that I can use one of my email addresses as a junk account ... ...to me).
That aside, another.com also gives you 5MB of storage space for attachments. This is great - I use it for storing journal articles that I may need - so I don't have to cart them to work and back again. This is a fab service, but don't put all your trust in it. I've lost many files to the great cyberspace god this way. He seems to be particularly fond of my Excel files (if anyone knows why this is happening to me - please let me know! I lost ...

Advantages: Quick, different domain-names Disadvantages: where to begin, down-times, refusal to send e-mails, I could go on
...it was time to visit another.com (well okay, one good thing - they had a free £5 amazon voucher if you signed up with them).
On first visiting the site one thing became clearly obvious - another obviously like their adverts, they are literally all over the place, but still its an online company offering free vouchers, so an advert here or there doesn´t hurt that much, anyway signing up was a doddle, they asked all the usual questions (Name, address, ... ...know the big attraction of another.com to most people is the fact that you can pick from thousands of daft domain names, this is one function I have since taken advantage of - basically you type in a rough idea of what kind of domain name you want, in my case I wanted one to change all my Grimsby Town Football Club mailing lists to so typing in Grimsby Town returned the domain `ilovegrimsbytown.co.uk´ - perfect!, a couple of button clicks later and ...

Advantages: Very fast, good e-mail, reliable Disadvantages: Other services are very poor
Another.com is a fairly new website which gives you free e-mail. But not boring e-mail, oh no. They have come up with a unique idea allowing you to choose from over 60,000 endings for you e-mail address. So say I was young and very cool, then I may call myself thedanguy@hotsexymanclub.com.
OK, so maybe that's a bit ridiculous, but you can have some serious fun with the e-mail addresses. And of course you'll find pleanty of rude ones which are rather ... ...this site is for...
Another.com is for people who need a free e-mail address plus a host of new services which have recently been added. If you can't find a good name on Hotmail, or even if you can, it's a much better idea to check out another.com and check out some of the top names.

If you are a businessman setting up an e-mail for your company, you could try another.com but you'd have difficulty finding a name. You ...

Advantages: Up to 20 addresses, can choose your own domain name, can be anonymous. Disadvantages: Occasional log in problems.
I recently registered with Another.com for free e-mail, and am really pleased with it so far. For those who don't know what it's all about, Another.com is a free web based e-mail, which allows you to choose from thousands of domain names at which to have your e-mail address. The domain names are listed by category and there really is something to suit everybody.

Another.com also offers products such as T shirts personalised with your e-mail address. I haven't tried any of these yet but they are a nice touch!
I have had one or two problems with logging in - server errors etc. but most of these have been resolved quite quickly and haven't presented a big problem as I don't use it as my main e-mail account. ...

...before the Internet ever was. Another.com is one of the many Internet-based e-mail services, and is among the best I have seen. With other accounts (e.g, Yahoo, uboot, Hotmail etc), you have a log-in name, which acts as your email account, for example, johnsmith@hotmail.com. With another.com, it's different. You still have a log-in name, so you would have johnsmith@another.com, but you can also sign up to up to 20 addresses within that account, with ... ...certain folder, a la Outlook, but it is so much simpler to use! another.com is definitely a great account to sign up to for those people with email accounts all over the place. One disadvantage is that it is occasionally slow to recieve and send mail, but otherwise it's great! ...

Advantages: Multiple unique email addresses Disadvantages: HTML not supported
...Why bother with going to Another.com then? Okay willkeenan@hotmail.com is okay, I mean it’s my name, and it does it’s job. However there is no real uniqueness there.
Now then…iamjusta@cheekymonkey.co.uk….now that has a different ring to it.

The another.com website is a clean design with all the basics presented to you on the main homepage.

...you agree with the about, another.com is the email service you. Firstly I should mention that it is web-based, which means you can check your mail wherever you are in the world. I came across another.com when they had an extensive ad campaign when they launched, and I’ve now been using it for more than a year. With another.com you email address isn't username@another.com (Although it can be), as you get to choose from a HUGE list of domain ... ...The next HUGE plus with another.com is that gives you the facility to have up to 20 email addresses with each account, which means that you can just get a new email address, and all you mail to old addresses and new addresses ends up in the same inbox. If you get sick of an address, you can drop it and get another one.
Another.com always has domain names for whatever if really topical. For example, in the last year it has had a HUGE selection of ...

Advantages: 10 MB Storage, 20 different accounts, incredible choice of domain name Disadvantages: Limited options and features on your mail accounts
Another.com is certainly a candidate for best free email service provider.
Not only do they provide you free email they also give you an incredible 10MB quota for your storage purposes. This is one of the largest quotas that I have seen around.
Another.com also allows you to have upto 20 different free email accounts and you can choose your domain name from an unbelievable range. The choices range from the hilarious to the audacious and to the ... ...What does attract me to another.com is the extraordinary free email services that they provide. 20 different email accounts and with addresses that you could never think possible and finally the huge 10 MB quota which very few free email providers can boast of.
It is very unfortunate that I came across this site so late as I would have loved to have had some of my main email addresses here. However I still took advantage of their great service and ...

I have an account with all three and use them for different reasons. Yahoo - offers geocities which if you don’t already know is a service, which lets you build your very own homepage and site.

Another.com - I joined these guys when they had their big marketing campaign a while back, they were offering a fairly innovative and unique feature; an email address tailored to your interests.

Another quirky feature of another.com is the fact you can implement ...

Advantages: Free and Personlised Disadvantages: Limit on amount you can store
In recent years, there has been an explosive increase in the amount of people using the internet and that means there are many more excellent sites that have been set up on the net. As many people are now using then internet, many now require e-mail addresses so they can contact people wherever they might be. There are many free email providers now but one which clearly stands out over many other sites is another.com. In this opinion I would like ... ...many benefits this site has over other free e-mails that are available.
************ Personalised E- Mail ****************
This is the single most influential reason why do many people use this site for e-mail. Unlike Yahoo for example, this site allows you to have your name before another name of your choice. With Yahoo your choice is as simple as @yahoo.co.uk or @yahoo.com. This site allows you to have access to such domain names as john@anyonefotennis.com ...

1. 'Downtime'
another.com is constantly 'under construction'. This means that 2/10 times you want to connect, a screen pops up informing you that they are performing 'essential maintanence. This is highly inconvinient and most aggravating.

another.com does not have a forwarding service, nor does it offer POP3 access. This is understandable on the grounds that it needs to make money from on-site advertising but I never click on it, or take notice of the popups so it's ineffective (I'd consider myself middle of the road, and therefore a representative sample).
