    Depends upon what you mean by cool .

    One mans cool is another mans idiotic .
  • You can get hosting ridiculously cheap these days with a coupon code. If you want something really unique it might be worth it. There's loads of codes available online, HostingCoupons.com has a fair few with different providers for you to start with.

    Couldn't agree more, and I know which side of the argument I'm on in this thread :D.

    A domain name and hosting costs - what - around £25 per year? That's less than 7p per day.

    I know it's not money saving but sometimes, if you really want something, you have to pay. So, having established that, what's the cheapest way to get a domain name and email hosting? Maybe we can get it down to £15 per year.

    Here's one at £20 but you only get 100MB. http://www.betterwebspace.com

    Good grief! £15 a year just for an email address?! Paying for content hosting?!

    All you need to pay for is a domain name -- about £3.50/yr. 1&1 currently offer the first year for 99p. Then use it with a free email host.
  • You could try Feeola. They have around 500 domains names to choose from.

    The Budweiser and CBGBs emails were free without any "targeted advertising", it was just a webmail style mail hosted by Budweiser and CBGBs, you accessed it through the main Home pages of their sites.
