Default Best Free Email Provider

I first started off with hotmail though now i just use this to sign in and out on xbox live......didnt really like there service.

Migrated to googlemail but now im thinking of leaving them as i thought that when you sign in it auto saves all your browsing history....but lately i have noticed that every page i look at google sticks ads in my email page (adverts) relevant to my browsing history.

I dont like this I think its an invasion of privacy is there many more free emails that can offer just as good service.

Thanks,

Is a thought, though the features aint as good as what as some of the free email providers can give.

I guess hotmail and gmail are the most dominant .com .co.uk providers.

After careful thought, if you were ever to change ISP then your email account would be shut down.

Why not get your self a free domain name from somewhere like CO.CC - Free Domain name registration + Free DNS service. and then set up cheap domain hosting somewhere.

You can get stupidly cheap prices in some places (India for instance) of about £7.50 per year.

That would give you your very own domain with your own email addresses (for the amount quoted above, you'd get upto 25 unique email addresses of the type anyname@yourdomain.co.cc)

Once you've got it all set up you never need worry about changing ISP's again.

With the hosting, you can also set yourself up with a small website.

Alternatively, for about £1 per month you could go for hosted email. You give them your domain name and they do the rest.
