How come I can register any @techsource.wikkii.net email address'? It says that I have reached my maximum email account, but I have never registered one before.

I believe that wikkii do not currently allocate an email address to each advanced hosted site.
You can always try to request from wikkii one (no idea if it will actually happen) or use a different email service (such as gmail, hotmail, etc).

You could try using the free version of Google Apps where they give you up to ten Google accounts with your domain name, and then ask Wikkii if they could set up MX records for your email account domains.

I setup an account but, it is requiring me to verify myself as the owner. It gave me multiple ways I could verify:

Add a meta tag to your site's home page

Use your Google Analytics account

Add a DNS record to your domain's configuration

I do not have a google analytics account, so I can not do that option.
Do any of you know how to edit the source of my page (meta)?
That would really be the only way since I cannot add a DNS record.
Any help would be much appreciated!

If you have web hosting, I think that you're supposed to upload a file to it that shows that you own it.

Yes I see that, but the place it told me to upload was not in the public section of the website, what should I do?

If you have a wikkii.net wiki, which it appears you do, you should have cPanel access.  If you use the File Manager in cPanel, you can upload any file you wish anywhere.  Generally, if you need to add a file to make Google happy that you really are the Admin of the site, placing it in the:

public_html

folder is the way to go.

I have done so on my wiki, so I know it works.

I was confused before because I thought you were talking about a non wikkii.net domain.  You can just upload the file with your cpanel to confirm ownership.  Then you will need to ask Wikkii to setup the MX records.  Hopefully they'll be alright with doing so, but I've never done it before.

The good thing about the Google Apps Gmail (Gmail with your domain name) is that you can add multiple addresses to a single account. You can also create group email addresses that will send the mail to multiple users.

Thank You for your help!

Wikkii System Administrators: May you please setup MX records for: http://techsource.wikkii.net

I think that you'll need to provide the server names and such with the information from Google.
