For reasons to dull to go into it appears I am likely to shortly lose my trusty old email address after twenty years (not the @newsguy one that is a spam trapping fake). Can anyone recommend a domain registrar company that also offers webmail boxes. Thanks.

123 reg have been good for me for years. Free mail forwarding and domain
name registration a small handful of quids per annum.

Any charges if you wish to move out of 123?

I'd heard rumours they had started charging for that, but just moved a
friend's domain away from them, and there wasn't a charge.

Any registrar will supply you with the domain name and it needn't cost
much. If you are using email you will need server space (hosting) and I
don't think you can get it for free. It probably needs to be reliable
and a long term arrangement because that will be the main archive and
record of your correspondence over years to come. email attachments can
add up to a fair bit of space.

I've had a domain name from 1&1 for years and at a very reasonable cost.
I always just used it to forward to Demon's email address and, before
that was destroyed, the Demon website.

In making the move to Plusnet, and turning the redirect to them, I
discovered that one of the email addresses had what 1&1 describe as
"basic email" and it seems to offer a sort of webmail service. I'm still
using the multiple email addresses before the @, as I used to do with
Demon, but I haven't looked at whether these can all be channelled into
the one basic 1&1 mailbox. None of this is clear on their website.

Plusnet has had a problem with SPF validation, whatever that is, and it
appears to be due to many of the domain providers not supporting this
feature when forwarding email. AIUI, Plusnet have (temporarily?) taken
the validation off and people are now chasing various forwarding
providers to sort themselves out with this.

123-reg email forwarding allows you to forward to an address without
needing to have an email box attached to it. So you could have your
domain, create an email address of your choice as a forward, and point
it at a gmail or outlook.com address etc.

(this is probably true of other registrars as well - although some (like
365 email) only allow forwarding from a paid for mailbox).

I use https://www.mythic-beasts.com/hosting. £2 a month for email, as
many mailboxes as you want, and will register a domain as well.

123reg works OK. But costs £35 a year over the basic registration.


Can redirect domain to any other mailbox like e.g. a gmail account and
avoid having to pay them, for a mail box.

No that I had noticed. I can still send from gmail with my real address.

It's certainly changed from the way it used to work.

I had set it up for some aliases a long time ago, and it may still work
for those, but try to setup a new alias, and it wants you to give it
your credentials so gmail can send through your (or your ISP's) SMTP
server rather than directly through gmail's own SMTP servers.

Without it you get some "from: xxxx@gmail on behalf of in"
nonsense ...

When I was with 123reg a couple of years ago you had to ring them to
cancel anything (just like Sky). I'd avoid them in favour of somebody
you can simply cancel online.

Use them for years, for my domain, hosting my e-mail and sending e-mails
either from e-mail client (through any ISP, secure port) or webmail,
never had a problem.

In that instance, does Gmail put your custom address in Reply-To
or do they use From?

From.

I'm using easily.co.uk for domain hosting. I'm not using their (paid for)
email though, I've just been redirecting to somewhere else for ages now.
Easily have 4 different levels for email.

You can cancel most things online except hosting packages generally.
(this appears to be more about security than customer retention since
they have never put up any resistance to cancelling a package).

(I am not recommending 123 especially - there are some things they do
ok, but also plenty where they are a PITA. I still use them, since it
would be too much hassle to ditch them for someone else at this stage)

We've used 1 and 1 for web hosting and email for several years.
Originally their support was excellent but it seems to have gone
downhill recently. I've used tsohost.com for a couple of websites
recently and found the service and support to be excellent with a
knowledgeable staff in a UK call centre.

Why would they require that ?

All you want is for the recipient of the email to be able to reply
as usual and for the reply to end up visible by you when it gets back.
