Just need a quick clarifier.
If I purchase a domain name, and I have any ISP that gives me an email address, is that all I need to be able to establish an email address (by aliasing I presume) with my new domain ?
Example:
1] I'm paying $9.95 for dial-up service on cheapoISP.com, so my current email address is dave[at]cheapo.com.
2] I purchase the domain giganticbrain.com because I want a permanent email address of dave[at]giganticbrain.com, independent of my current service provider.
So my question is: do ALL ISPs (including cheapoISP.com) allow me to redirect emails sent to dave[at]giganticbrain.com to dave[at]cheapo.com? Can I take this for granted, or do I have to check with cheapoISP.com?
What do I check for on my ISP to see if they allow this?
