Precautions

About the service

• You can choose up to 63 characters for the URL of FreeAddress Service. Letters, numbers, hyphen (-) and period (.) could be used. Hyphen and period cannot be used as the first or last letter, or cannot be used consecutively (e.g., .. or --).
• FreeAddress is provided on first-come-first-served basis. You cannot use the address which is already used by another Asahi Net member.
• Please note that if the address is once decided, you cannot make changes later on. Make sure to double-check the address you entered when applying.
• Your address can freely be decided, but your request may be declined if Asahi Net determines not appropriate (e.g., if the name has the potential of serious misinformation, mislead, etc.)
• You can also use the Personal Homepage Service (http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~User ID) together with the FreeAddress Service.

About the usage

• Different contents can be published on the FreeAddress URL and the Personal Homepage URL (http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~User ID), but your website space will be the total of the two URLs.
• In your FreeAddress Service website, you cannot directly use the CGI on your Personal Homepage (http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~User ID) website. You need to set up the CGI within the FreeAddress Service website.
• After you apply for the FreeAddress Service, Asahi Net will send you an email when the service is ready for use. Please note that it may take eight hours the longest until your application is completed.
