Email address

[audi321]

Hi all.

What’s the cheapest way to get a bespoke email address (I.e [e-mail])? It doesn’t need to be .com it can be Co.uk or .net etc etc.

But I will need a couple of variations (I.e [e-mail] etc).

It’s not a business, just a hobby so don’t really want to spend much (anything!) lol. I don’t need a website or any add ons and the email address will just be forwarded to my personal emails.

Thanks for any advice

Email address is made of three parts: "joe" @ "smith" ".com"

"smith.com" is the domain name you need to register. Once you have a domain, you can create as many users (Joe) as you like.

".com" is the "top level domain" (TLD) - Each TLD has it's own registration charges and domain registrars, and you can't just invent one.

If you want a .co.uk or a .com address, you need to pay for it, unless you sign up to a web hosting package which may include it 'free'.

Cloudflare.com is cheapest for this. ~$5 for a .co.uk, $10 for a .com. This is an annual cost. They have a free email forwarding product too.

Alternatively you can get a ".tk" TLD domain name absolutely free for one year. https://free.tk
If the name you want is actually available, I'd splash £5/year on a .co.uk name.

Perfect thanks for the info. Cloudflare is new to me so I’ll definitely check them out and pay pennies for an annual domain. The ones I’d looked at we like £7 a month and for a couple of emails a month it’s not worth it for me.

Cheers again.
