Changing Broadband Suppliers & Keeping E-mail Address

Sput2001

I'd think about getting your own domain name.

I've paid about £5 a year for the past 5 years or so and have changed broadband suppliers three times without having to worry about changing email address.

Plus, you can get an address like your[EMAIL="yourfirstname@yoursurname.co.uk"]firstname@yoursurname.co.uk[/EMAIL] which can look pretty impressive.

Yeah, you should do what Nick's suggested. I did the same a few years ago and can create an unlimited number of email addresses under my domain name.

You usually have two choices;

1. Standard POP3 email server - Anything sent to 'yourname@yourdomain.co.uk' will arrive directly to your inbox.

2. Email forwarding - Anything sent to 'yourname@yourdomain.co.uk' will be forwarded on to an ISP email address of your choosing.

I'm using UK2.net as my provider. Superb service.
