| [info] FREE domain with broadband | We have done free UK domains with broadband for some time.
Last year we stopped this for the <span style="font-style: italic;">basic </span>broadband package and only included it in the <span style="font-style: italic;">pro</span> package. This is largely because email has started to be an expensive service to run taking more servers, power and space, than any other service we operate.
This year, with new units based charging, we dropped any mention of the free domain.
We are pleased to advise we are reinstating this offer. A free UK domain with broadband.
The web space includes sub domains so every member of the family can have separate web sites if they like. The email includes as many separate mailboxes and aliases as you like so everyone in the family or office can have a separate email address. The domain is registered on your behalf and is your domain registered in your name, so you can take with you if you leave us.Details on <a href="http://aaisp.net.uk/broadband-freedomain.html">http://aaisp.net.uk/broadband-freedomain.html</a>
<ul><li>The domain has to be a normal UK domain, i.e. ending co.uk, org.uk, me.uk, or if applicable plc.uk, ltd.uk, sch.uk. You can choose the domain when ordering or later but contacting sales.</li><li>One domain is included per site/login even if you have multiple lines on the site. The domain is associated with the login.</li><li>The basic DNS, webspace and email services associated with the domain are included - you cannot move or trade off these free services to other domains.</li><li>Only the basic services are included. i.e. if you store more than 1GB on webspace or email you can incur extra charges. Email services also have a surcharge for high or very high usage.</li><li>The services are only free while you have the broadband service. If all lines on the associated login are ceased the domain and related services become chargeable. You need to cease these separately if you no longer require them.</li></ul>In order to address the high cost of running email, and to be fair to those thousands of customers running email on a free or £1/month domain and being sensible, we have decided there will be additional charges for high users. Not to worry as this will affect the top few percent of customers that handled thousands of emails a month. You also get three months warning if you are a high user. See <a href="http://aaisp.net.uk/broadband-emailhigh.html">http://aaisp.net.uk/broadband-emailhigh.html</a> for details.
Update: Following some comments on irc it is worth elaborating a little. We have not pinned down the exact thresholds for high email users yet. They will be defined and published later this week. However, we expect that a handful of domains will be in the very high usage yet these domains account for something like 25% of our mail server load. We'll contact those affected individually.
