Hmm,

I read your posts and you were kinda complaining about webmail and sitebuilder and add-on domains

That's all cPanel's side

BUT

Making you register for those sounds gay (Im no HostGator Fan) But it's a smart way of not giving out what's not being used. I mean its not like writing your name and email address is that tiring. and if it is, you shouldn't be on the net.

I was complaining about webmail and site builder, but not add on domains.

The webmail complaint, was on how to set it up. It was confusing in the fact that they wanted a personal email-but wouldn't use hotmail, webmail and a secondary email address. I had trouble grasping how to set it all up, but eventually figured it out.

I understand the CPanel ease of use and all the rest. The complaint, was that both the sitebuilder and the other one,-forget the name, were not part of the CPanel functions to begin with, but were in fact FREE ADD_ON's. Took me some time, before I found out you had to register each one seperately before you could use the so called "FREE ADD_ON" To that end, the tech informed me that it would take up to 48 hours to receive authorization to use them.

I eventually received authorzation, but then found out that they wanted a user name and password to open them up. None of the user names or passwords that I had prior worked. Another call to Tech, informed me that I needed a unique user name and pasword for each of the add-ons which I did not receive the first time. I was then told to re-register and that it would take 6 hours....Three or four days later, I still have not received the new registration nor the authorization.

As for your last sentence, I am on the net and I do get tired of filling in upteen user names and passwords, when a one or two should suffice. I am, and shall remain on the net, whether you or anyone else thinks so.

Yep that stuff about people who shouldn´t be on the net is just negative. You know I agree all that filling in logins and stuff is just kind of boring but thanks to " skipper " you don´t have to each time. Google "skipper" and get it free for mozilla firefox and it fills out the forms and logins for you.

It's for security reasons you have to fill-in logins
It's not good to whine
