I have my email through netidentity.com. They own my last name as a domain name and many many others. They sell you email accounts that are firstname@lastname.com which is really nice, unfortunately thier service rates about a 2 on a 1-10 scale in my book. Is there any way to free my name from them?

Just and expression of thanks to you LEO.

I used the information here and now have my own domain overnight.Will now work towards independence of my email address.

Also for the guidance about SimpleURL. After checking a number of local (Australian) domain providers SimpleURL was certainly the better option . Establishing the domain name was as cheap but none had free email forwarding. You had to subscribe to a plan at additional cost to get this email support.
The only wrinkle now is the exchange rate. If our AUD keeps falling the cost in USD will rise.

I'm in the process of switching to AT&T U-Verse. I was told by the AT&T rep that I could continue to use my Roadrunner email for 2 years even though I was dropping my internet service from the cable company and switching to AT&T. He said it was a new law. Is this correct?
