So, if you have been using username@aol.com, you now could use username@DomainYouChoose.com. This program is created to give more personalization of AOL email service. Thus, this free program is bringing AOL email service to another level.

However, there are several limitations of this program:

• Each user can only have one free domain
• Web hosting support is not available even with your own hosting. AOL claims that this support would be available in the future.
• Not all domains are available. Premium domains are not available.
• The domain owner is AOL. AOL is the registrant for the free domains and pass the usage to you as the end user.
• AOL might stop offering these free domains if the policies and rules from ICANN are changed. This means that somewhere in the future, if the rules are changed, you free domain might not be free anymore.

Even with those limitations, AOL eAddress is a good offer, especially for current AOL users. If you are using your AOL email address for business purposes, you might consider getting your own domain to increase your brand image. This will absolutely bring more prestige to you as a professional.
