Hi i am looking for a email account it cant be any hotmail yahoo gmail etc

I need it to sign up to a site that is very very rarely open this is what they say.

The email address must be valid. Gmail and Hotmail are amongst other free email accounts not allowed. Please use an ISP provider email for the best chance of signup.

I dont have any from my isp any one no any ones i might be able to use ???

Just needs to be one that is not a common one

Thanks

Which ISPs in Ireland don't offer free email to their own Customers? That should be a sticky!


You need to be online with eircom to create an eircom email account. Then it will work on any ISP connection.

Same applies to IOL/BT, Digiweb etc.. (be online with the appropriate ISP to create a mail account)

so autoreg.eircom.net only works for those connected with eircom.

If you purchase cheap / basic hosting and register a domain then you can have any email address at your own Domain (most suppliers). This can be used via web mail or forward to an existing account. That is a small annual cost and the domain/email address can be moved to a different supplier

thus various mail boxes at domain irishwattystuff dot com and wattystuff dot net work.
(One is hosted by siteground and the other by digiweb, but either could be hosted by anyone else tomorrow such as hosting365, blacknight etc)

The following do:
Perlicoo
UTV
IOL
BT
Eircom
Smart
NTL

not sure about the rest but there ain't too many who don't afaik

Write a sticky up for me and I'll add it

I find having your own domain for a small fee is best option, I have cabaal.org and myname.com and various other domains, very easy use them with the likes of GMail also

I've no idea personally who doesn't.

You can add Digiweb to your "Does" list above. Though the signup seems to have vanished on the new web site.

I've experimented with "self hosting" a domain and email in the past and I think it's a thoroughly bad idea.

If you look around the autoreg site there's a way to register without being a customer
