Yourname@anydomain.com Available For You For FREE
While registering to various email service providers like gmail, yahoo, aol the biggest problem everyone faces is to get the most friendly email address as mostly all our taken up. But now that wont be a problem as you can go ahead and register an email address for you at any domain which has not been registered yet. So you wont get contact@nofullstop.com that easily. That power is in my hands! If you want an email address @nofullstop.com than contact me.
But for other domain which haven’t been registered yet I have a great idea for you to register your personal email address.
AOL has launched a service My eAddress where you can search for an available domain name and easily register for a email address yourname@yourdomain.com. Few downsides with such an innovative service are:
- You need to give away your
phone numbercell phone number for the confirmation and that forces you to think twice before registering. - The service is available only for people in USA and Canada. So if you have any relative in US or Canada than ask them to register an email for you at your favorite domain as such offers are rarely to be found.
I wonder what will happen if someone goes and register an address contact@mydomain.com and later on some other person pays to register that website mydomain.com. He wont get contact@mydomain.com? That might well be a problem later on for the service!
Forget that for now and go and register your personal email address quick.

the difference is in google you need to have your own domain and here in AOL you do not need to have your own domain…
you can have an email like yourfirstname@yourlastname.com

I checked this out, and its kind of bogus. Better read the TOS. First you have to give them a valid “cell phone” number.
Also, you have use AOL as the registrant for any new name. Essentially, they control the domain name that you create. That’s the bogus part.

I guess you did not read the complete article?
I have written up there that you need to give them your cell phone number to get through.
But I guess you can trust AOL!

Guess I am blind then, but I have read your post at least five times, did a search with edit/find, and still cannot find “cell phone” anywhere.
Perhaps you think phone number = cell phone.
