I want to create a free email address with my name, but it's already taken on Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.

Are there any other popular and secure free email providers that you can recommend? I heard Zoho Mail was free, but when I go to their site, it says that I need to "pay" for a domain in order to get their "free" email.

Be a man and host yourself/google apps and then your @ symbol can be anything you want as long as it's not taken. You will need to pay for a domain though, can vary from 1$-11$ a year.

How can I find out how much it will cost?

Also, what would you recommend I use as a domain name?

@hotmail.com or @gmail.com doesn't seem terribly professional to me, but that's just me

I agree that @hotmail doesn't look very good, but everyone is familiar with and uses Gmail.

you could always use the email that came with your ISP, most of them allow you to create your own email names.

I agree, @hotmail doesn't look too good, but you can get your hotmail as @live now which looks better. It still doesn't look great, but it's better than @hotmail

Haha. Mail.com is powered by AOL and they're doing pretty well, but I don't know anyone who uses plain old AOL anymore
