Can I change my email address to ...?

Once you register a name that is your name for the defined period. You can have as many email users on your address - it really depends on what your host allows. You cannot however alter the last part of the domain – the actual domain name itself.

An email address is made up of several parts. The first part of the address, the username, identifies a unique user on a server. The @ symbol separates the username from the host name. The host name uniquely identifies the server computer and is the last part of the Internet email address. The three-letter suffix in the host name identifies the kind of organization operating the server.

Take this email address for example:
  • joe@joe-bloggs-engineering-company.com
Here is a breakdown on what's what in your email address:
  • joe – this is your username.
  • joe-bloggs-engineering-company – this is your host name that corresponds to your web server
  • com – this is the top level domain you've purchased.
We have had customers approach us with an email address similar to “ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ” who had requested that we change their email address to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or another variation on their name. This is not possible unless you have actually registered the other domain (jbec.com).
