Is it possible to have a domain name being used for email addresses and also as a URL? My dad has his email hosted with 123reg and wants to have a website using the same @address as the email, but I am not sure if this is possible or not?
Any help would be great, I am quite lost at the moment.
It's possible. Contact your hosting provider for details, every provider does it a different way. Atleast from my past experiences. :v:

Thanks for the reply :)
Yeah just did that now, they said I can have Email and Hosting working as long as I keep the domain pointed to their nameservers. Hosting is a bit expensive I guess, £150 over 3 years for 2gb data limit and 25gb bandwidth a month, I have seen cheaper hosting elsewhere. Whats your experience of it anyway? I am still fairly new at website building, I am making a site for my dads business anyway so have to stay with the hosting company we are with now as he already has Email with them.
I don't have that much experience with it. I can send and receive unlimited (within a fair use policy) amount of e-mails. All of them are linked to my GMail account so I can answer to and receive mails sent to [email]marlamin@marlamin.nl[/email]

What you can do is point your domain at a seperate nameserver, and setup MX records (Mail eXchanger records - they tell the internet what mail servers are responsible for your domain) for Google Apps (which is free) and setup the A records (which tell the internet what IP address goes to what domain, you need this to point your domain to your webhost's servers) to point to your web hosting.
