| - | The Site Prefix is an optional prefix that allows you to identify users or services related to a site. If set, all (newly created) usernames will be prefixed with this string. A prefix must be alphanumeric (numbers and/or letters only) and may not be longer than five characters. This is helpful when you plan to host many domains on a server, and users may wish to use similar usernames. For instance, you may host two sites (foo.com and bar.net), each with a user who wishes for the username "bob". Without a site prefex, only one user can be "bob". By setting a site prefix (foo, bar) the "bob" in foo.com becomes foo-bob and the "bob" in bar.net becomes bar-bob. Actual email delivery and addressing will remain bob@foo.com and bob@bar.net through email aliasing in User Management. Please note: A prefix can be added or changed at a later time. But doing so will NOT affect any usernames that are already present. | + | The Site Prefix is an optional prefix that allows you to identify users or services related to a site.
