We’re pleased to announce new features based on your feedback and interests - now you can set up personalized email addresses and easily manage multiple domain names – all at no extra cost.

Yes, your very own email address
When you buy a domain name from Yola, or if you already own one from us, you can get matching email addresses for free. It’s ideal for building name recognition for your website.

Your personalized email address works with either Google Apps Gmail or Windows Live Hotmail, so you can choose the service that best suits your needs. When setting up your email, you’ll find it’s handy to print out the tutorial. Get started by downloading, Creating email addresses with your domain purchased from Yola.

Advanced Domain Settings
If you own multiple Custom Domain Names, or want to transfer a Custom Domain Name from one site is to another, you can do it with the Advanced Domain Settings Manager. Find out about it with DNS for your Yola domain

Many of you have told us you’re interested in making it easier for visitors to find your site, and that you’d like your site to feel professional.  You can achieve both of these goals with your personal web address, also known as a custom domain.

I’m excited to let you know that we’ve expanded our domains product offering so you can more easily find a name for your site, get names with extensions other than .com, and secure your website address for years to come.

• Find a website name: Sometimes the first name that comes to mind isn’t available.  To make it easier to come up with another one you like, we’ll show you a list of available options.

• End with more than .com: You can now register domains with .net, .org, .biz, and, of course, .com extensions.  And we’ll automatically configure the domains for you.

• Get multiple domains: You can assign more than one domain name to your site, which will all redirect users to your primary site.  This can also help visitors find you and improve search engine ranking.

• Lock in your domains: To ensure you keep your web site name for years to come, you can register your domain for up to 10 years.  By doing so, you’ll save up to 20% and save yourself the hassle of renewing every year.

• Keep your registration private: When you own a domain name, your contact details are publicly disclosed via the WHOIS database, which can result in unwanted emails.  With private registration, we place alternate information in the public database — so only relevant messages are forwarded and your junk email is reduced.

To take advantage of these new options, select “Buy my own domain name” when you first publish your site or “Upgrade to your own domain” when you update your existing site.

Enjoy!

We’re excited to announce 3 new features on SynthaSite.

1. Manage files better in the File Manager. We’ve updated the File Manager so you can now create folders to easily organize your files and quickly find files with our new search feature. We’ve also made the File Manager simpler and friendlier to use.

Search Tip: You can search for specific document types by typing in the suffix of the file, like .jpg, .pdf, etc.

All in all, the new File Manager makes it easier to create larger sites with more images and downloads.

2. Pulling out the stops for custom domains. If you buy a custom domain name from us, we’re making sure every one of your visitors gets to it. So, if you have links using your former .synthasite.com embedded on other websites or emails, we’ll redirect them straight to your new URL

3. Google Friend Connect is now our friend too. You can add the latest and greatest from Google to your SynthaSite website. Google Friend Connect lets people join your site, see other members and invite their friends. It works with any Google account, Yahoo!, OpenID or AOL. It’s a great social networking feature to increase traffic and build a community. Find out more here.
