Sorry, but I don't know where to ask this one:

I'm looking at registering a domain name, like jules.com. I then want to
receive and send email from, say (e-mail address removed). I'd like all incoming and
outgoing emails to goto Outlook on my home PC, who's email addres is
currently with my ISP, say (e-mail address removed)

I'm looking for the best deal (lowest cost) and want to know which companies
can provide this service. How is it all setup? Will all outgoing emails be
from (e-mail address removed) eventhough they are funnelled into/out of my datafast
email account?

TIA
 
Do you not need your website hosted also?

If not, I suggest Go Daddy (http://www.godaddy.com)

Domain registration $8.95/year, one email address $9.95/year.

You can use webmail or Outlook to process your email.

If you do need webhosting also, I still recommend Go Daddy for the domain
registration. But then you can get your email account with your web hosting.
There are a number of hosts out there that are fairly cheap. World Web
Hosters (http://www.worldwebhosters.com) has hosting with email for as low
as $11.88/year. Remember this is cheap hosting, passable service, but not
award winning of course. There are lots others out there.

As a matter of course, I never register my domain through my host. Many will
offer to do this, but I just don't feel safe with this.

Check this out:

For Registering the Domain name, Definitely go to www.godaddy.com and do it there. VERY reliable,
VERY inexpensive.

THen for hosting your site/email somewhere, head over to www.webhostingtalk.com. It's a website for
discussions about hosting. You can post somethig in the "Request" forum and will probably get
offers for free hosting or at least very inexpensive hosting.
