Ahhh... OK.

The $9.88 per year price is for one email mailbox and one alias.  You
can have multiple email mailboxes per domain.

I current pay two times $9.88 per year for two mailboxes in my domain.
Each of those mailboxes has the one main address and an alias.  One nice
aspect is that I can apportion the storage space as I want between the
mailboxes I purchased.

My understanding is that you can have as many email mailboxes per domain
as you are willing to pay $9.88 per year for.

Hope this helps.
