Don't Let Spam Hold You Back
Have you ever wanted to signup for a free online service but you're skeptical about entering your email? Don't be! With a few simple tweaks, you can control whether or not that site sends you a single email. How you might wonder? It's as simple as creating a "fake" email address. But what if you need to activate your account through an email? This method covers that too. All you'll need is an email address and a dot.tk account. From here, setup a free domain of your choice. Then, go to the .tk Mail pane to create a new mail address with your domain as the extension. Enter your email as the forward address, click add and you're good to go. Now, when people email this address, it'll be like they entered your regular address. However, to stop people from emailing you with it if you get spam, just go to dot.tk and delete the address! Though this was a rather short article, I just wanted to help all of those users out there who receive too much spam when signing up for cool stuff. Hope this helps and comment with your feedback!
