OK, basically I need to send and recieve email that reads matt@(some domain).com

At this point I know I will need to register a domain name first of all. I'm sure that there is a simple service that will allow me to send and recieve email and access it through a web interface with my own domain name. Although i'm sure this is quite simple i've just never done it.

Anybody want to guide me through the process? What service to use and who is cheap and whatnot.

Do you just need an email address?

If so I can give you a gmail account...

Or do you actually want to run your own domain... If so that's pretty easy as well...

Heh, I had a gmail account months before anybody on here. :wink: So that's not a problem. I actually want my own domain, just don't want to have to run my own mail server.

If you just simply want to have your own domain and are OK w/ POP3, SMTP I can host the domain for you and simply piggy back into our mail servers...

This was originally apart of my plan for when I actually got around to coding the site but, have been slammed with work, etc...

AIM / Email me if your intrested

Thanks Adam, but it looks like i've found a few places that will give me what i'm looking for with a webmail interface for about 20 bucks a year, which seems like a pretty good deal.

register.com has it, as does the site OBike posted, godaddy. And they seem to be a bit cheaper. Either way it's fairly inexpensive.
