Welcome to Fortin.com
This Website
is privately own and is for non-profit
In
October 1998, Mail Bank Corporation bought over 10 000 domain name and offered
to sell some sub-domain. For 9.99$US for the installation fees and 5$US
per year, they were offering a E-mail forward and a
URL forward to any other web site. They were promising to always keep the
same price and never increase it. They had two different name that I was interested : fortin.net and fortin.org. At that time,
I bought the sub-domain luc, with this I was able to receive e-mail at
luc@fortin.net. It easier to remember luc@fortin.net than
l_fortin@qbc.clic.net or any other hotmail addresses. I
also change my e-mail address on all my business cards,
tell all my contacts, parents and friends. In November 1999, Mail Bank
decided that they would now charged 9,99$US for the
e-mail and 19,99$US for the web forward system. I was very angry about
this.
In
1996, a German company called Information Technologies bought fortin.com.
Since fortin.com was not available, I paid the big price and stayed with Mail
Bank.
In
September 2000, unfortunately, the German company had closed few month earlier and fortin.com was now available. It
took less that 5 minutes to bought it. Now the
site is hosted in
The
hosting for the domain name, administrations and all other stuff cost me about
250$CAN per year. With this server I can only sell e-mail forwarders but
at a very good price.
Buying
a sub-domain will allow you to receive all e-mail @fortin.com to an other e-mail address. With this, there is no
computer setup, no password or any change. The only change you will need
to do is say a different e-mail address@fortin.com
to
your friends and contacts. E-mails are not stock or read on the server
here. As soon as the fortin.com server receives the e-mail, it forwards
it to your e-mail server. With this, you will be able to get catherine@fortin.com ( no this one is
already taken by my 3½ years old little girl ) and forward it to any e-mail
server connected to the internet. It's easier to remember. Also you
can get a e-mail address for your cell phone or e-mail
pager. It's easier to remember pagerbob@fortin.com
than
15147449573-pagertext@mycellcompagny.com.
The
cost is 5$CAN per e-mail per year for people living in
758 rue
Laval
Please
in the envelope, write :
your name,
your postal address,
your requested e-mail@fortin.com
the forward address.
The
e-mail will be activated within 48 hours of the reception of the payment.
For
more information, you can contact me directly via E-mail to luc@fortin.com
