Ok, this is the third time someone has hacked my gmail account. So instead of continuing this silly ordeal, Im going to opt for my own web space yet again and control my own email.

Anyone seen any cheap server space (dont need a lot currently, maybe gig or two max) that provides unlimited email that is rather cheap monthly and a low start up cost?

I am not trying to be lazy but working on finals right now and I dont have the time to search for deals. Thanks.

Someone mentioned above the free microsoft office websites. I signed up for that as well about a month ago. They give you a free domain name- not a sub and free space, but the catch is you have to use their online web builder.

Here is what I did- I signed up, got rid of everything I could on the template and made an animated gif (like when you are waiting for windows xp to load) and put "if you are not redirected in 5 seconds, please click here" and then I put a link to my actual site. It is free and I got a great domain name- for free.

checked the office live site and it says it's free while in beta stage, with option to continue on a paid basis after that.

bevross,

You have to read the fine print carefully. The "BASIC" version is free, always, even after the beta.

Check the comparison chart:

(Also, I read every word before I signed up. So I know this is the case.)
