Why You Should Have A Personal E-Mail Address
I use a personal .com e-mail address based on my name and have done for many years. I always recommend that people have an e-mail address based on something like a .com, .co.uk or something related to where you live.
it was brought home to me this morning, about what a pain not doing this can be.
A friend has just changed their Internet supplier from BT to Sky. They used to use a BT e-mail address and now they’ve had to change to a Sky one! Consequently all of their friends have had to be informed and will have to update the entries in their address books. I don’t use a smart phone for e-mails, so with me all I have to update is Microsoft Outlook.
Incidentally, I’ve just looked up my friend’s probably preferred e-mail address and it is available at six pounds for two years.
That sounds like a small price to pay for something that will last forever and won’t ask your friends to change again.

This is interesting, I have a couple of email addresses, plus have some which I manage as contact emails for groups I belong to. My main social email address is google, others are on ntl/virgin because that is who my service provider is. How would I get something different?
