To be clear - someone needs to host your email. Typically that's your ISP, and you will have an address like me@isp.co.nz, or sometimes they will let you use your own domain (check the cost!). There are alternatives, though. If you use a commercial web host they will probably provide hosted as part fo the package. Also, there are free and commercial email hosts out there - Gmail is the most popular free host, and it is possible to connect your own domain up to Gmail. I might do a post or programme about this some day. Commercial hosts include fastmail.fm. Colin Fair call, Desmond.

You speak of domains but not hosts. Purchasing a domain doesn't mean your email (or any data for that matter) will be "hosted" automatically. A host provides that which can be your ISP, domain registrar or any other hosting service. I think you have to proof-read the “What about my email?” section again.

Have had some very cheap quotesfrom Compass. They tell me that telecom deliberately throttles the broadband speed and compass can supply it twice as fast and much cheaper than the basis telecom plan. Do you have any experience with Compass - can I believe what they say? Thanks for all the info so far... Hi there – I am currently looking for a new ISP. Have had some very cheap quotesfrom Compass.
