Personal email with your domain name

This is exciting. I remember the days when you had to pay for this kind of thing, to buy an email address like firstname@yourdomain.com. Now a days, your hosting provider would likely provide free email accounts for your domain. For example, Economy plan at godaddy.com provides 500 email accounts, but only 10MB disk space.

10MB disk space is not enough for a lot of people, especially with email services like gmail, windows live and yahoo providing anywhere from 3GB to unlimited disk space.

If you want more space for your email accounts in your custom domain name, there is a Windows Live Service called

Windows Live Custom Domains (now renamed as Windows Live Admin Center)

You will get 500 email accounts each with disk space 2GB and you get to enjoy a great ajax-based fluid web UI to read/manage your email. You can even customize the UI with your own logo. And this is totally free

I am planning to get some accounts for cssjshtml.com right now.
