When you register for a hotmail email account, note that you can use the Windows Live Hotmail service to check your email account from another domain name. Click the “Or get a Windows Live e-mail address” link, which will let you choose a user name, and a choice between having an “@hotmail.com” email account or a “@live.com” email account. This is just a matter of preference, both services are identical.
When you create your new hotmail email account, the email address choice is important: it should ideally be easy to remember by your friends and associates. Try to make your new email address as short as possible, because you will frequently have to type it in registration forms, signing in, etc. Also, take note that if you include your last name in your email address, it will be visible by anyone you send emails to. In some cases, anonymity is preferable.
Avoid creating a free web mail that includes numbers because most people will have difficulties remembering email addresses that contain numbers, underscores, hyphens, and other special characters.
Remember, the alternate email address that you provide during registration does not have to be a Hotmail.com or Live.com email address. It is basically a way to allow Hotmail to contact you in case you forget your password.
