Register domain name

[Neo-Geo]

urm, i have a little bit confusion here..
i want to register a domain name..
what should i consider?
in the website, it stated that you will got 50 Email forwarding addresses and Catch-all email forwarding
what does this mean? I:-)

Catch-all email forwarding means this:

if you have the domain buttmonkey.com and someone sends you an e-mail to roger@buttmonkey.com but you didn't create an e-mail account with the name roger@buttmonkey.com the e-mail will be forwarded to your default buttmonkey.com e-mail address...

E-mail forwarding is pretty much the same thing, but you set those to what you want. Say you want info@buttmonkey.com to go to your AOL account e-mail and you want money@buttmonkey.com to go to your hotmail account... thats what fowarding does...

oo ok..
does that mean that you need a POP3 mail? e.g from Yahoo, hotmail.. etc..
Can I create my own email like myname@mydomain.com and all the msgs goes into my own-created-inbox.. using PHP or whatever script..

And, is there some way to send out emails under the same email or when you send emails do they have to be from the url that you forward emails to?
