This is a good idea.  It's a little more complicated
than what I mentioned, but I do pretty much the same
thing with DomainDiscover.com (where I have several
domains), my Yahoo e-mail account and web hosting at
ATT.net
 
But this is a good combo as well and better suited to
someone just starting.  My set-up "evolved."  :-) 
(And has devolved and revolved, etc.)  Whatever gets
more hams on the web.  
 
I just went to your site, and I'll try to get some
license plate pictures to you.
 
73,
Curt
