What are some good $20/year services?
godaddy is currently running an offer of a domain and office 365 email for $1 per month.
https://www.godaddy.com/offers/online-business.aspx?ci=95658
basically for any custom email domain you need to register a domain name, then for example if you wanted gmail you would sign up for a gmail business account and point your domain mx record to Google. the cost associated is for the domain and email service separately.
Sometimes with certain web hosts you can pay a yearly cost and register the domain for free, then you get at least some kind of email service with the web host for free. The benefit to using Google, or office 365 is you get a familiar interface and decent interfacing with 3rd party email clients, like your phone.
the godaddy deal is a good one because office 365 is usually $5 /mo per user. that would usually be on top of the domain registration fee.

I don't have a website of my own. So I don't actually have my own domain.
All I want to do is make a email address of my own without having @gmail or @yahoo etc.
Do I need to make a website first to get my own custom email address or can I get my own without having a website first?
