[nABEntre] A few questions

[Amanda Matheny]

I am currently using the provider through Namecheap, my domain
registrar. It's privateemail.com. I tried to set up Workspace, but as
indicated previously, it wouldn't let me get past the domain
verification part, so I need to either find out why or find an
alternative. Thanks.
