Due to the imminent closure of my ISP I am forced to change domain and have new email addresses for me and her indoors. The difficulty I am having is finding a provider whose website is written in layman's english, rather than jargon and technical acronyms. I have bought a personal domain but where do we go from here?

I need(for minimum outlay) 2 email addresses with both webmail and pop3 capability and the ability to forward emails from the old outgoing ISP until their eventual demise in January.

Does anyone have any experience in this area and any suggestions/recommendations please?

Shame you've already bought a domain - generally speaking, it's cheaper and easier to buy the domain and get the hosting from the same supplier. Just about any hosting package will allow you to crate as many e-mails address as you want on the domain, and just about any will also offer webmail access.

As for the forwarding of your old e-mail, that needs to be taken care of by your old ISP, not by your new domain.

Thanks Rojash. I would have used the same supplier I got the domain from, however they will only supply one pop3 account foc and want to charge silly money for additional ones. Also, it is they who have the (for me) unintelligible website.

Yes, what I was trying to say was, it's a good idea to choose the hosting supplier first, then buy the domain name from them.
