mail@simonh.be is far better than simon_harrison189@myemailprovider.com
The other major benefit is that once you’ve registered a domain name, you can forward emails to your awful simon_harrison189@myemailprovider.com mail account. This way, you’ll only ever need one email address. I’ve been doing this since 2002!
As to which domain registrar to use, I use ovh and fasthosts. Make sure to shop around and compare prices before you sign up.
