Nameplanet stole a march on the personalised web address bandwagon. Getting yourfirstname@yourlastname.net is a great idea if, like me, you were sick of changing email every time you moved jobs or you weren't happy yahooing and hotmailing. Now there are several other providers of personalised addresses but once they have your surname you are pretty much locked into them! Ok so there may be obscure domain names left out there but who really wants to use a .info or a .name address. So, it was a great idea and well timed. Several factors let it down. Firstly, the customer service is poor. It takes a lot to get replies from support and at one point ...  Read the complete review

First of all I'd like to mention that NamePlanet is a paying service. The dooyoo heading as well as the reviews I read about it that describe NamePlanet as a free service are not the latest, and there is no such thing as free email forwarding any more. I have been a member with NamePlanet for about three years now, starting when it was still a real free service. The reason for subscribing was that they bought my last name Top Level Domain a couple of months because I wanted to buy it myself, that was bad luck because hosting my own domain with an email address of my own would have been cheaper. Well those things happen :-) The outcome of this review ...  Read the complete review

I have been a user of Name Planet for a certain time and while it was free service I felt quietly happy with the service except for some delayed mails from time to time. Curiously since Name Planet became a paying service last January, I have been unable to get even a minimum answer to any of my questions. I am speaking here of at least 4 faxes and something like 15 emails. The last fax / mails were prompted by the fact that my account with them had been disabled, although I have paid a 2 year fee for this service in January. I can't get it back. In January, Name Planet advertised on their web site a partial refund when referring new members. I ...  Read the complete review

Looking for a new, reliable email address? But would like something with a bit of a 'ring' to it - something that is personal to you. Well look no further than NAMEPLANET. The idea behind nameplanet is that you can have your own name integrated into an email address. OK So nothing revolutionary in that if your name is, in fact, 'Kevin Hotmail' or 'Yvonne Yahoo'. Although I’d guess with all the millions of Hotmail users worldwide you’d only get something like ‘Kevin123_UK@hotmail.com’ – and then, only if you are lucky! Now if you really are lucky you probably have a normal name and not ...  Read the complete review

Now I can plaster my name across the internet in all its mundane glory. How can I do this? Well, Nameplanet offers free email and URL forwarding in the form <first name>@<last name>.<weird ending> and http://www.<first name>.<last name>.<weird ending>. So what the heck is <weird ending> supposed to be? In the course of surfing the net, you'll have noticed that most domain names end with .com, .co.uk or .net. Less commonly known are endings like .to which is widely used in free URL forwarding services and is making a small fortune for the island of Tonga as we speak. This means you too can jump and down with glee at bagging joe@bloggs.as ...  Read the complete review
