Personal Email Address?

[peace800]

I understand that using hotmail, gmail etc is not advised when sending emails to end users. How would one go about setting up a personal email address without using your domain name? Is it advisable to use your actual real name and to create that as a domain name and then create an email out of that?

For example

johnsmith@xyx(i.e domainname).com - this is a domain name at the end with your name at the beginning

but I would rather have

admin(or whatever)@johnsmith.com here is my real name (not my actual real name) at the end and something I prefer and would mean registering my actual name as a domain name (provided its available of course)

Would that be ok and if you didn't want to register your own name in a domain are there any recommended providers that can set personal email addresses that you would advise to use (apart form the domain hosting provider)?

Thanks

It is never a good idea to use Yahoo, Gmail, etc.

I prefer [email protected], but the one you are asking about would be okay in my opinion.

Just register your own domain name, and host it. Then you can set up your own E-mail address. Thus you will have something legitimate and will not depend on a third party service.
