How do I get a custom email address with my own name?
I'm tired of my embarrassing Hotmail address that I made in middle school. I want something professional like firstname@lastname.com for job applications. How do I get an email address with my own domain? Do I need to know how to run a mail server? Is this expensive?

I posted this exact question on a newsgroup a while back and got a ton of helpful replies. Don't sleep on Usenet — comp.* groups are full of people who actually know what they're talking about, way more than some web forums full of script kiddies.
It depends a lot on your connection speed. If you're still on dial-up, some of this just isn't going to work well no matter what. Broadband makes a night-and-day difference. Is DSL or cable available in your area yet?
