In Brief

Virtual domain email is available to users of our Virtual Domain Web Hosting service. Users can affix a Virtual Domain email address of their choice to their mailboxes. Notification that the chosen Virtual Domain email address has been activated will be sent to the mailbox to which the address has been affixed. Those members who are having their domain moved from another server to Asahi Net will need to wait until the move is complete before being able to use their email address.

Asahi Net also offers a Virtual Domain Email Forwarding service. Email sent to your Virtual Domain email address can be forwarded to an Asahi Net mailbox or to any other valid email address of your choice. Up to three (3) forwarding email addresses can be specified per Virtual Domain email address.

Charges

• If the number of Virtual Domain email addresses is equal to or less than the number of Asahi Net mailboxes, there will be no charge.
• If the number of Virtual Domain email addresses is greater than the number of Asahi Net mailboxes, the following excess charge will be applied:
  Monthly charge : 110 yen (including tax) per excess email address
• The method of charge calculation is as follows:
  Individual members : if no Additional Mailbox, the number of mailboxes is 1. Additional Mailboxes will be added to this.
  Family member's mailboxes are not included.
  Business members : the total of User IDs, additional mailboxes and Individual IDs it totalled.
• Should even one Virtual Domain mail address be created in a given month, it will be counted in the calculation, even if the address is cancelled within the same month.

Since the number of Virtual Domain mail addresses (2) does not exceed the number of Asahi Net mailboxes (2), no charge is incurred.

Example 2.
