I've been toying with the idea of buying a domain ( something.ca ). I've looked into that and that part isn't too bad. Since my condo assoc has a Secretary position open, I'm going to try and get it, and I'd like to set up some simple e-services for us.
But then I'm stuck not knowing what to do with it if I buy it.
The main thing I would like to do would be to basically be able to use it as an email domain. So I could set a bunch of addresses ( secretary@condoAssoc.ca; unit25@condoassoc.ca; etc...) as aliases to those positions. But I don't have 2 clues what I need to be able to do that, or what services I might need to buy to do that. Basically each address would be a forwarder address, mailing to one of those addresses, would send to the real person's email (gmail usually. :P ), and duds going to some general address as needed.
Has anyone done this before (quite likely). What would I need, and how would I set it up? (If it isn't too expensive, I'd probably try to grab my family name and set it up as well). What are some of the gotchas to watch out for with this type of thing?
A secondary thing I'd like to do would be to put a simple website up on that domain; but that would be a longer term goal basically. (and I don't have a clue what I'd need for that, other than needing the likes of Seraph or similar designers. :P)
Thanks for the advice. (And yes, this is in Canada)
