MARKETING:   Want to make a good impression on prospective clients? Instead of using Yahoo, AOL or similar entities in your e-mail address, register a domain name. Use that for your e-mail address. For example, my e-mail address is [email protected], but it is actually forwarded to [email protected]. Earthlink is my ISP (Internet Service Provider). You don’t need a website to use a domain name, although I do have a website.
