I want to do something like at https://www.google.com/a/Home or https://domains.live.com/
Will that be possible without buying anything extra?
Thanks

No, you will not be able to setup those services by getting the free domain name from us because such services need you to change your MX (Mail Exchange) records, which you will be able to get only on purchase of the "advanced dns" feature (which is not free with the free domain name).

Or, you could also get the free domain name, set its nameservers to some perticular hosting provider, and then use the dns management feature of that host to change the MX records.

Would it be possible to set the MX record in the cPanel hosting you offer?
If so, would you be able to offer me a plan with hardly any web space and a lot more bandwidth? Please PM me if you wish
Thanks

Yes, you are permitted to change the mx settings in the cpanel.

We do not offer customized free hosting packages. All that you will get is amongst the packages which are listed at http://www.smokyhosts.com/compare.php

One more thing, don't know if I asked this or not :p:
Once I've used 300 points and got a domain, how long does it last for? Lifetime? A year?
Thanks

Hi,
Once you get your domain name, it lasts for a period of 1 year from the time of registration.

No, it isnt a must to have a hosting package. You will get the instructions for a free domain name soon into your PM
