Yea yea, you may receive some decent coupons out of it but I'm reluctant to just hand out my persoanl email address knowing they could potentially resell my email to the highest bidder.

There are dozens of registrars where you can purchase a domain. Namecheap is the registrar that I've been using recently and they have decent pricing — hence the name.

Step 2: Signup for an Email Service
