where can i get custom e-mail address from

What exactly do you mean by a "custom" email address?

If you want one on a personal domain name you'll have to purchase the domain name yourself, and some web hosting/email package. If you just want an email address on a domain which is slightly irregular, there are hundreds of places out there where you can get such email addresses. What's wrong with hotmail, gmail etc. anyway?
 
I wouldn't really call those custom e-mail addresses, surely? Custum to me = not like anyone else. If that is what you mean then I can tell you how I got mine setup.

Bought domain from www.ukreg.com. Use www.zoneedit.com for my DNS servers, though you can use the ukreg services the control panel is not so simple. Then for hosting - I have a static IP (well, several actually but you only need one) - which the MX records point to. At my end of it all, I run a Windows XP box with the free version of Mail enable from www.mailenable.com. That's one way of doing it anyway - I hope in the near future to move over to a Linux setup, so that I can a) change to an IMAP inbox (POP3 atm) b) Get Squirellmail setup locally, since my school seem to find it funny blocking www.mail2web.com

Hope this helps, null :)

another vote for 1and1.



for less than a £1 a month you get;

* 5 IMAP/POP3 accounts
* 1&1 Webmail
* 50 e-mail aliases
* Virus scan for 5 accounts.

and a .co.uk domain is £1.99+VAT.

Be careful of companies offering free domains. There is usually a catch, I came across one that charged £100 if you wanted to transfer the tag to another host once you outgrew/got bored with with their crappy service.

You get what you pay for;)
