Do you love using Windows Live Hotmail? Did you wish that you could use a personalized domain name such as me@johnnyenglish.com or agent86@getsmart.com instead of same.old@hotmail.com or boring@live.com? Or maybe you are a small business owner and would like to have a company-branded email address such as info@yourcompany.com? Fortunately, there is a little-known Windows Live service called Windows Live Admin Center that can help you do just that!
Windows Live Admin Center is a free service that enables you to have your own Windows Live Hotmail service for your custom domain name. Up to 500 email accounts can be created and if you need more, Microsoft can increase that for you. Windows Live Admin Center is a great solution to use even if you only need just 1 email account. If you operate a community, you can open up the service for your members, so that they can signup for a free community-branded email address from your website. You can also customize the Windows Live Hotmail interface in Windows Live Admin Center with your own logo. Best of all, because Windows Live Admin Center uses the Windows Live Hotmail platform, you can use the excellent Windows Live Mail Beta email client with your custom domain email accounts!
