If I just want an emial at a new domain name, how much does the emial cost?

Question

For instance, I want to register the domain abc123.com and also have an email that I can use such as [e-mail].

Do I just buy a domain from Godaddy and use their service for the email? Will I have to pay monthly charges for the email? I just want to use a free email service if possible, but I am not sure how that works.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

I use Pair Networks (pairnic.com) as my registrar, and one of the free services that comes with registration is e-mail forwarding.  Simply forward mail to your domain to your "real" e-mail address.  They also offer a webmail interface, but I don't know if there is a charge for that, or what it costs, though it looks like webmail is included as well.

Check with your registrar if they include mail hosting (POP and/or IMAP) or mail forwarding as part of their registration.
