I got my email account established with the domain msn.com. I surely didnt do anything to get that msn.com...What i did is just sign up to the www.msn.com and i found 3 options regarding the domain name attached to the email...(msn.com, hotmail.com, and windowslive.com )...As Mr. Leo stated that you should pay for the email monthly since its premium...i never pay anything...And Im so confused about this as well...is it an error occurred with the website (www.msn.com) ? i dont think so because my email completely works in a perfect condition...Does anyone can help me
answering this question?..Thanks..
PS : Sorry for my english...im indonesian..hehe

If you want to market yourself then email is a definate.. the word "hotmail" just has a hint of unprofessionalism.. msn is more bussiness like.. and natuarlly people are drawn to msn becuase this a stable address they can have..

Some forums and sites will not allow a user with a hotmail address. I don't know the reasons. That's why I want an msn.com account. but why are you so upset if someone doesn't want hotmail?

"hotmail.com" is for kids.
"msn.com" is for mature internet users. besides, it's shorter.

Hey Leo. I was glad to find your website for searching on how to get an MSN account vs. Hotmail. My reasons seem different, but thought I'd send them through anyway. Hotmail canceled my account when they upgraded their newest Messenger. I could not find any way to get into the Hotmail acct. without going through the Messenger and I'd had the account for years. In fact it was my first E mail account ever and had met many, many friends through MSN rooms or groups or whatever they're calling them now. I am thankful that someone didn't have MSN Messenger but had Yahoo, therefore I downloaded it years back also and had also set up a Yahoo E mail account. The thing that bothers me most about MSN canceling my Hotmail is that I lost dozens of friends and addresses, any that I hadn't moved to Yahoo also. What happened, you ask? Well, besides Fred Flintstone, I am probably one in a million who has a dinosaur in their living room. My old computer will not keep up with the times, and I couldn't download the MSN Messenger updates. Ditto with the Yahoo Messenger, but thus far, Yahoo will still let me into my mail through the old version of the messenger I have installed. At this point I am baffled as to what to do. I have tried modems through the Comcast Cable Company for High-Speed Internet, ditto DSL modem through my local phone Co. I went through literal dozens of hours with technicians for both modems, and finally both Companies let me out of my year long lease because after they viewed all the troubles I had and all the attempts and hours I had spent on the phone with all their technicians, they realized that the modems simply would not work on my computer. I can't even tell you all the stuff that happened during these sessions of trying to hook up and use the modems. Up to an hour would go by before a page would come up. Pages often flew all over the screen. My mouse would disappear and another mouse would sort of take over. It went like that on and on until I was ready to throw the computer on the burnpile out back. Here's the real kicker---just last week I spoke to the gal at a different server (PEAK) and it was so simple I almost cried. She asked me, "can you see a certain butte from my house?". No, I can't. The garage is in the way. She said that is the problem. She said it happens often when a tree is in the way, and it can be a neighbor's tree or building structure etc., but if you can't see the tower upon that butte, you're not going to be able to use those modems. This gal needs a silver star! They might tell this to all the technicians who are hired to help people set up and use these modems. Well, I guess my story was two-fold, but perhaps it just might benefit someone else some day. Thanks for hearing me, and thank you for your site. Patience

I used the link above submitted by GT to create an msn.com account and it worked...no charge, no hassle. I have to agree that I wanted an msn.com account as opposed to a hotmail account, because personally, it just reads a little more "professional" for my business purposes. Thanks so much for your help on this issue. Thanks Leo!

Hotmail is associated with early spam and hard-core emails and they is why people do not want that as a provider(?). I personally have @hotmail.com blocked from my system.

Leo,
You seem to be a bit of a Hothead when it comes to questions about Hotmail. Your readers are not the same every time you post an answer so you may want to keep that in mind before you lash out at people.
As far as @msn.com and @Hotmail.com, it's important like having a 212 area code over the other NYC one. It just makes more of a statement.
Personally, I wouldn't want a hotmail account either.
So, that's my 2 cents or with inflation, my $1.50.
