Creating a free name@yourname.co.cc e-mail address

Many hosts provide customizable e-mail service, but either they charge you heftily or give an odd extension like name@yourname.host.com.

Earlier I talked about the free service that co.cc provides in the post http://techrecipeblog.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/free-cocc-domain/.

This time I'll tell you how you can get an e-mail address in the format of name@yourname.co.cc with a combination of services provided by co.cc as well as Google Apps. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Create a co.cc account.
   
2. Register a free domain of your choice. Though, some selected ones are to be paid for and there is an upper limit of just two. It may take less than 48 hours for the registration to complete.
   
3. In the mean time, register with Google apps for a free account. Take the help of this post.
   
4. This post has been further explained with the help of pictures. Refer this post for further instructions, since its quiet hard to add images in Blogger.
