I am thinking about getting my own domain with own email account.
What have looked up on domain registration and web hosting. Do I need both to upload something and create email accounts?
Having your own URL and email is great! It really gives you a lot of freedom from the limitations of Yahoo! or similar.
To answer your question, I don’t think so.
email accounts can easily be created from the panel that your webhosting provider will give you, once your account is activated.
hope that answers your Q.
later: I should add that you will need
- your own domain (about $10)
- your own server space with bandwidth (from $2-3 pm or more…)

control panels such as cpanel are easy to use and as ken said, you’ll be able to add and manage your e-mails(s). basically you are in control of everything from mail forwarding to quotas. cpanel also makes it possible to check your e-mail online from any computer with a webbroswer, just like any webmail (yahoo…).
i’d recommend toeki.net. I have been using their hosting for a long while now and they are really good and cheap considering their support is super fast and professional.
