    Hi,

    I have been wondering. I plan on purchasing a web 2.0 domain name. I will not mention it here but for example.

    I.amco.ol would be an example I would have the domain amco.ol. and the subdomain I.amco.ol.

    Would I be able to set it up so I could send and receive emails from I.amco.ol. ?

    Would I be able to make an email ?

    I hope I explained this well enough for all of you to understand.

    Shmoe

    No such thing as a web 2.0 domain... Web 2.0 is just a bunch of web design idiots creating a club then telling everyone " This is the new modern style of web design ". IMO ...

    You can setup emails and subdomains on any domain that is pointed to a legit, running server.

    in other words, you can mask your domain name if done properly.

    There is no such thing as a web 2.0 domain only web 2.0 which is "a modern style".

    To answer your main question, Yes. You can send email to the "subdomain" by setting an MX record for it. Just like you would do for the domain itself. You won't even need that if you plan to receive your mail on the same server as your web server.
