Free way to do a custom email domain?

[Strychnine]

Say I wanted to be able to email to and from "iliketacos@strychnine.com" for free. What's the best way to go about that?



And what if I go out in 6 months and actually create a site with that domain through 1and1 or whatever else and try to setup the same email there. Will I have problems rolling over the email address since I was already using it somewhere else?

Not free, but the easiest and most practical option would be to go ahead and register/purchase your domain through whatever registrar you choose to use (e.g, GoDaddy, Hostgator, Dreamhost, etc.). Just keep the domain parked until you're ready to create a website. During that time you can use the myriad of email tools afforded to you by have a hosting package. Most or all will support unlimited webmail, pop3, IMAP, bulk emails, etc. And it's very cheap. Were talking $5-$10/mo. for a shared plan + your Annual Domain Renewal w/Private registration

Keep everything you want to do under a single control panel. It's more pragmatic and reduces headaches.

Free custom domain and free email? How about free hosting and free unlimited everything while were at it.

Where is my Obama domain?!?!

strychnine.com and strychnine.net are both already registered. You'd have to buy the domain from them and setup an e-mail account. However expect to spend at least $500 for a real word .com domain.

You could get strychnine.co for $13 though.

Meh, I'm not gonna throw anyone under the bus for someone else to drive it back and forth.

It wasn't that mean, I just said they were the worst kind of people.
