It is not easy to understand just what you need:


Seems it is quite ok to use a normal third-party eMail address (eg: yahoo / gmail etc. etc.) as your Apple ID, as many of us do.


If you want you can: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

Else: If you use iCloud Mail ... It is ok to Create a primary email address for iCloud Mail - Apple Support

or

there is an option to use an existing domain, or to use a custom email domain


Also more info: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses - Apple Support


Hope there's something helpful to you here :-)
