Everyone who does NOT have a WWDirect domain, will be assigned a domain
when migrated:

  username.best.vwh.net

An email forward will automatically be created:

  username@best.com  -->  username@username.best.vwh.net

URL redirection will also be put in place:

  http://www.best.com/~username/  -->  http://username.best.vwh.net/

In Tom's case, the following forward and redirect will be created:

  bubbles@best.com  -->  bubbles@bubbles.best.vwh.net
  http://www.best.com/~bubbles/  -->  http://bubbles.best.vwh.net/
