Overview
Email addresses are often long, complex and difficult to remember. By buying a Quorn Village Email Address, you will join a growing group of Quorn villagers and businesses who have a short, snappy and prestigious personalised email address that reflects the name of the village or area in which they live. You will also be contributing to the running costs of a unique village website.
What is available?
The last part of an email address is called the domain. The first part is the prefix. This is shown below.
For our village, these email domains are available:
quorndon.com
quornvillage.com
chaveney.com
Once you've decided which domain name you prefer, you then only need to choose your prefix. This can be pretty much what you like, as long as it's not already taken by someone else in Quorn.
Examples:
jon @ quorndon.com
Ricky @ quornvillage.com
clarejones @ quorndon.com
clare.smith @ quorndon.com
thesmiths @ quornvillage.com
musicteacher @ quornvillage.com
BIKER29 @ chaveney.com
The choice is really up to you! You must already have an existing "default" email address (such as with AOL, Freeserve, BTclick etc). All email sent to your new Quorn address is automatically rerouted to your existing default address.
This is great news for your friends and relatives - your village address will be easy for them to remember.
It's also good news if you have home stationery printed - you print your stable village email address on letterheads etc, then if you change your default address or ISP, you simply notify us and the server redirection is changed to redirect to your new default address. You don't have to reprint stationery or even tell friends of the change - it's all sorted for you.
Your default address will still work in addition to the village address, so you will never lose any email if people still send to the default one. You can also make the system work more effectively for you by changing your outgoing mail ID to match your new village email address (so a friend who receives an email from you will see that it comes from for example "jim@chaveney.com" rather than "jim27@jones.freeserve.co.uk"). Not all ISPs allow this, but most do. Check out the Technical section for more information.
