A permanent mailbox at velasquez.info, offered to people who carry the Velasquez name. Not a public email service — a small, deliberately limited one, with every application read and approved by hand.
No trial tier, no free accounts, no advertising. The price is what runs the service and pays for the time it takes to review each application properly.
For a single family member who wants an address on the name and nothing more complicated than that.
For a household where more than one person carries the name. Each mailbox holder must still be eligible in their own right.
This is a family service, not a public one. There is exactly one requirement, and it is not negotiable.
You must carry the surname Velasquez — spelled Velasquez or Velásquez, with or without the accent — as either your first or your second surname. Spanish naming convention gives most people two, and it does not matter which one it is.
A spouse who took the name on marriage qualifies: it is their legal surname. A child of a Velasquez parent who does not carry the name does not qualify, however close the tie.
Velazquez and Velázquez, spelled with a z, are a different surname and are not eligible. The distinction is a letter, not an accent, and the line has to sit somewhere.
Eligibility is confirmed from a government-issued identity document. See how the review works below — the document is looked at once and deleted, never stored.
Give a first choice and two alternates on the application. Maria is a common name in this family, and maria@velasquez.info can only ever belong to one person. Whoever is approved first gets it.
There are no aliases on either plan — one mailbox is one address, and the address you choose is permanent. Pick the one you would still want in ten years.
Some addresses are reserved permanently for running the domain and can never be assigned: abuse, postmaster, admin, administrator, security, dmarc, hostmaster, info, support, help, billing, noreply, no-reply, webmaster, mail, root, and carol.
There is no instant signup. Every application is read by Carol, which is the only way a rule about surnames can actually be enforced.
Email carol@velasquez.info with your full legal name, the plan you want, and your first choice of address plus two alternates. For the Family plan, list everyone who needs a mailbox.
You will be asked to show a government-issued ID confirming the surname. It is viewed once, checked, and deleted the same day. Nothing is kept but a note that the name was verified and the date it happened.
A decision by hand, usually within a few business days. If the name does not qualify you will be told plainly and nothing further happens.
Payment for the first year, then your credentials and the settings for webmail, IMAP and SMTP. Most people are receiving mail the same day.
Small email services usually fail in predictable ways. These are the rules that prevent it, written plainly rather than buried.
Each mailbox is capped at 100 recipients per day. This is firm. velasquez.info is also the working address Carol uses with the law firms she serves — a single account sending bulk mail would damage delivery for everyone on the domain, including her.
No newsletters, no marketing sends, no mailing lists, no forwarding-only accounts used to relay mail elsewhere. Personal and professional correspondence is what this is for.
Thirty days of grace after the renewal date, during which mail still arrives. Then the mailbox is suspended, and closed at ninety days. You will be reminded more than once before anything is switched off.
Once an address is closed it is retired permanently and never given to anyone else. This matters more than it sounds: password resets and two-factor codes follow an address for years, and a reissued mailbox would deliver the previous holder's account recovery to a stranger.
Next of kin who carry the name may request transfer of the mailbox or its closure. Absent any request, the mailbox is closed twelve months after notice and the address retired.
Spam, harassment, illegal use, or impersonation ends the account immediately and without refund. That judgment sits with Carol alone.
An email address is not a subscription you can casually walk away from. People attach their bank, their government filings, and their two-factor recovery to it. A service that closes after three years does real damage to the people who trusted it.
velasquez.info is committed to running this service through 2036, and the domain registration is paid through that date. Carol also uses the domain for her own practice, so its continuation does not depend on this service alone.
If it is ever wound down, holders get twelve months' notice and full assistance exporting their mail.
Because the domain is a family name and the point of the service is that the address means something. A general email host would be a worse version of things that already exist.
No. It is viewed once to confirm the surname and deleted the same day. The only record kept is that verification happened and when. See the privacy page.
No. Velazquez and Velázquez are a distinct surname from Velasquez and Velásquez, and eligibility is drawn at the spelling of the domain itself.
Yes, for ordinary correspondence. What is not allowed is bulk sending — newsletters, campaigns, or lists — regardless of whether it is personal or commercial.
Not on the Personal plan, and there are no aliases. The Family plan covers up to five mailboxes for people in one household who each qualify.
You will be offered one of your two alternates. This is why the form asks for three.
The mailbox lives on velasquez.info, which stays with the family, so the address itself cannot be transferred to another provider. Your mail is yours — it can be exported by IMAP at any time.
Your rate is held for as long as you renew without a break. Any change applies to new applications.
Send your full legal name, the plan you want, and three choices of address. If you carry the name, you are most of the way there.
