Let's see...

I just tried the following:
 Host Name:		www
 Domain Name:		jeff.lasman.name
 Web Server Aliases:	jeff.lasman.name
 Mail Server Aliases:	jeff.lasman.name

Works fine; the RaQ accepts it.  It shouldn't have trouble with DNS or
email, either.

But... from what I've read...

I can't get lasman.name, but I CAN get jeff.lasman.name.

If that's true, then I could host jeff.lasman.name, but obviously it
depends on whether or not they allow me to have my own nameservers, etc.

The reason I'm not sure is the adverts and stories I read that tell me I
can get a website at "jeff.lasman.com" and an email address
jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx

So I wonder if I can have control over mail at jeff.lasman.com.

It all depends on what they allow you to do with DNS.

Jeff
