Re: SMTP/POP is it best to use 1 domain?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

This depends on your business needs. Yeah, that is what you wanted to hear. :) You can have a primary domain and point aliases to the primary one all day long. So no matter if someone points to domain1.com, domain2.com etc., this all flows into the same inbox. It helps keep users less confused instead of having multiple mailbox to check. Less confused users and admins is a good thing. I've seen it done both ways, no way was better than the other in my experience.

Is it best to use one domain for all email or create an email domain for
each web site domain?
For instance, lets say my hosting server is domainMaster and there are 10
web sites being hosted on this server.
For simplicity lets say the web sites are company1.com, company2.com, etc.

So is it best (preferred) to create the pop email accounts on mail.domain
domainMaster.com and then alias to each company domain?
Or do you prefer to create an email domain for each company?

I see hosting companies do it both ways and I want to understand the
advantages/disadvantages for each.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Steve
