: How Can I Use An Email Address From A Domain To Register The Same Domain I want to register a domain called webmasters.com. Can I enter admin@webmasters.com as the contact email when filing

I would never have a domain registration using an email address in the same domain, either at registration, (which is impossible anyway) or later.

The reason why is:

Let's say you have a technical problem with the domain that is preventing mail from being delivered. Bad MX records or some other DNS problem, for example. Or your mail server just took a dump and you need to change the MX records temporarily. You try to login at the registrar, but you forgot your password. They will then attempt to email you at an address you can't receive mail at!

Getting out of a situation like this can be anywhere from hairy to impossible, depending on the registrar and perhaps other factors.

I think you can do it. I had a client for whom I registered the domain using my own email ID but later when I edited the email ID from the domain panel to an email created on the same domain.

I won't recommend you to do the same for registration. You might receive notifications or probably verification links during registering. You don't want the emails to go nowhere.

I suggest that you use your existing email while registering a domain name. When you complete the domain registration process, most domain providers send domain info, account activation links, invoice & billing info to email address which you put in during registration.

Once you create account and register domain then you can easily create new email and change it for that account also.
