Use a contact form instead - check out this Google Forms Guide. Then change your website "Contact Me" section to link towards the Google Form instead. The form gets filled in and submitted, then you get an e-mail from Google that someone has completed your form. You don't give out any e-mail address with this option. If you want a cheap option to host your websites, I use the Google Cloud Platform and am currently paying less than 25 cents per month to host my personal websites with them. |

So after all those years of attending concerts by goth and newwave bands, and visiting goth music nights, I'll have to let go of the idea to register a free VampireFreaks.com mail address It was by Everyone.net too ...
On a serious note, some really neat domains were existing too while hosted by Everyone.net. Amongst them the very notorious k.st (that branded itself as "the shortest email domain in the world"), and some really good (non-silly and non-niche) domains. Will those all give up providing email or will they move to another host? |

It appears to me that continuing email service will be handled differently by the owners of each of those cute domain names we all loved. For instance, in the case of K.ST, the whole domain has disappeared. However, many formerly free accounts at still-existing domains are being allowed to purchase one of the paid Everyone.Net plans and keep their accounts -- for example, if you had a free U2.IS account, you can go here: http://u2is.mail.everyone.net/email/...s/loginuser.pl and sign in with your username and password to get to the "Termination of Free Webmail" notice with the upgrade offer.
