Windows Live Hotmail with Custom Domains for Indians

Coolhotmain
Microsoft India has announced the availability of unique email address attached with the Windows Live Hotmail Service. The custom domain service has launched on coolhotmail.com, and users can pick any one of the 250 custom domains for free.

Coolhotmail.com gives you all the features of Windows Live Hotmail with 5 GB of storage, improved spam protection and customizable design, but under a distinct email address. Microsoft believes that uniqueness of email address matters, and reflects the identity of the person who uses it.

Custom domain names have been categorized into 5 different groups – Where I live, Who I like, Who am I, What I like and I Don’t fit. For instance, if you live in Bangalore, you can sign up for an email address like yourname@bangalorerocks.in. Or maybe, if you are a soccer fan, you can sign up for yourname@ilovesoccer.in.

Microsoft is making every possible endeavor to beat other email service providers in India. I’m not sure whether Microsoft will be successful in luring the Indian crowd, but I disagree with the fact that postfix (@xxx.xx) of any email address has anything to do with the identity of any individual. If anybody wants a true unique email address, they just have to buy a domain name and sign up with Google Apps for free. I think, that’s a better option, if you are so mad about uniqueness of your email address.

  • Nice work by MSN, seems like they want to increase the Indian users.
    Everybody will definitely like to sign up for these as the domain names are cool and got a great variety of those.
  • I created one at htto://clubdhoni.in :)
  • I agree...all I need is just an email address to help me communicate....who cares for the domain? atleast i don't do for my email address unless it is my business mail id....
  • The service looks good and will be successful in India, but not sure if this kind of custom domain is needed?
  • ah! that's wonderful. I was away from the world of internet from last few days but i think I'm back and glad that i found this info :) but do you think any thing will be better than having a personal domain ????
