    I'd definitely recommend HG.
    Rumor has it that this is your site:

    There are lots of good things about it and it keeps getting new enhancements.

    I see email was included in various ways on Powweb (Like SquirrelMail)
    I never tried their mail offerings.

    I plan to check out HG more thoroughly.

    I know I signed for much less on Godaddy, but they bump your abilities as they become available and I've been there a while.

    Everybody is getting more slick with tools and such.
    HG looks like they have the lion's share in that category.
    Regardless who you use for your webhosting (I recommend HostGator, btw - been with half a dozen hosts and this is the first I'm happy with), I'd recommend Google for your mail hosting. Great uptime, reliability, IMAP...and all FREE

    But you can't use your own domain name, right ?
    Thats the whole idea of email to me and my customers, make it professional.
    Can anyone sign up for google mail now, I might end up changing from yahoo if MS swallow them up !!! Personal use only of course.

    I have one of my domains set up with Google Mail and it works great. The email is me@mydomain.com not me@gmail.com

    For personal or small business, I can't think of a good reason not to use the free version. The pay offers more storage space (6+GB on free version, the same as whatever GMail is at at any given moment) plus additional tech support options. No ads in your emails, nothing to indicate to your clients/family/etc that you're using Google's mail.

    I see now ...

    • Standard Edition includes all of the communication and collaboration applications, support for an unlimited number of user accounts each with 2 gigabytes of email storage, and it's free. If you don't already have an internet domain (like example.com), choose Standard Edition and we'll help you purchase one for $10.

    • Premier Edition includes all the benefits of Standard Edition, plus an uptime guarantee for email service, 25 gigabytes of email storage per user, integration APIs and phone support for critical issues. Premier Edition is $50 per user per year, but for a limited time you can try Premier Edition for free for 30 days.

    Added emphasis -- looks like free is plenty
    Can never figure out how the can afford this.
    They don't hit you with adds or adds on a signature ... then that is amazing.

    Absolutely right, except about 6 months ago they changed the limit from 2GB to the ever-growing limit GMail users have (currently about 6.6GB). :-)
