why do/should I want to buy/have a domain name, just to have an Email service provider host Email for me?? Just asking.
With your own Domain Name you can have any email address you want. I have about 15 right now on my domain name. Also any other emails sent to my domain will show up in a default account. Nice for seeing who’s selling my address.
Domain Names are about $15/yr and you can get basic hosting for $30+/yr.
Currently I’m with WebHostingPad and I see they’re offering a $3/month lifetime “mini” hosting and unlimited email addresses.
I’m using ThunderBird, mostly POP3.
You don’t buy domain name. Hover does, and does not charge you for that. You only pay like $20/year for your unique “firstname@lastname.org” address.
I got them for my whole family......many whose middle initial, like mine, is A. So the @ is our middle initial:
first name, @ for middle initial, lastname.org
Is that worth $20/year? I think so. And have for 21 years.
Hover sells the “lastname.org” to any/all who want their last name (IF available) .org as their email address.
Example: Your name is Robert Alfred Smith.
Your email address would be robert@smith.org
Many times every year I’m told how cool it is to have my name as my email.
If I don’t want my name out there, I use another Yahoo address......
