I am pleased to announce another improvement in the services offered by Demon Internet. With immediate effect the restriction of 8 characters on a demon host name (the part of the address between the '@' and 'demon.co.uk') has been extended to 16 characters. This means that host names like sample-site.demon.co.uk are now possible. Longer host names are available to anyone subscribing to the service from now. If you are a current subscriber to Demon and wish to change to a longer host name, please note there will be a charge of 12.50 UKP plus VAT for setting up the new name and that there will be no overlap between old and new names. You will receive a new IP address. Customers wishing to change host name, but retain both addresses for a period will need to subscribe to two accounts for the overlap period and a new IP address will be allocated to the new name. No mail re-writing will be carried out by Demon. [Mail re-writing is available at a cost of 50 UKP plus VAT per annum] Enquiries relating to changing host name should be emailed to sales@demon.net or telephone 0181 371 1234. I hope this increased choice of host name will allow better use of Demon Internet by those people who have seen the old limitation of 8 characters as restricting their choice of meaningful name.
