If you register a domain name, any e-mail account you setup will use that domain rather than FamsterMail.com.

If you already own a domain name, you may point it to your Famster.

Before getting started, contact your Domain Registrar and have them set the Domain Name Servers (DNS) for your domain name to ns1.ivenue.com and ns2.ivenue.com.  If this has not been set up, you will be unable to add your domain to your Famster.
