Using a domain name as an email address
 

Can someone please explain how best to set-up a domain name as an email
address so that I can use it as a permanent email address even when
changing ISP's.

You will need to purchase an applicable domain name, and usually most
suppliers will give you email addresses to go with it (for a price).

Try www.oneandone.co.uk or www.123-reg.co.uk.

Buy a domain and pay for hosting it.

Re: Using a domain name as an email address
 

You register the domain and pay for hosting. I do this I have my own domain
and email I use http://www.ipowerweb.com/ for my hosting but it is only one
of many hostings you can get. I pay a hundred dollars a year. I have webpage
space and emails. For example if your name was Alan Green and the domain
alangreen.com was available you could get it and anyone that went to
www.alangreen.com would go to your website and you could have any email that
was @alangreen.com so you could have the email alan@alangreen.com This would
be yours for as long as you pay the yearly renewals no mater what ISP you
choose to use. Hope this helps?

Just stay away from Joker.com, RegistryWeb, SpecialistWeb and all the
look-alike ??Web !!
Joker.com *is* a joker; you cannot get to a real person, the system
acts a bit like the 1980's Eliza headshrink program.
Their system acts like you as administrator do not exist if you try to
transfer registration.
And they want $70 plus lots of documentation sent to Germany to
"prove" that you exist and are you are the administrator.
And there is no way of knowing if such a persuit will do anything,
other than enrich them.

If you want to transfer registration from RegistryWeb (etc), they
demand $50 in so-called contract cancellation fees that they claim they
have to pay.

All bullshit to falsely extract money from you if you are stupid
enough to get stuck with them, and then foolish enough to think you can
move.

Been burned by them, and still burning.
You can damn well bet they will not ever get one more penny from me;
the domains can die.

Re: Using a domain name as an email address
 

Thanks to everyone who replied,very helpful indeed.

Before signing out I would like to ask one more question regarding the
name choice before the @ sign in my new domain name - email address. I
have read that one should not use a personal name in an email address as
in this example: [alangreen@whatever.com] What are members opinions on
this please.

Re: Using a domain name as an email address
 

I use easily.co.uk, very easy to use about £10-£30 for two years depending
if you use .co.uk, .com, etc. You can anything before the @ in your email
address, some people use admin (as an example) but using your name is fine,
you want people to know who they are sending the email too!
