Xbox 360 live account problems

I have an old Xbox 360 laying around and decided to start a new account and play my old games for the fun of it. Then I wanted to download YouTube to put on the Xbox dashboard so I had easy access to YouTube. It requires an Xbox live account. It turns out
every time I create an account it either requires a verification (it has an error code) or isn't a good domain name. So I have to keep on going through a long process to see if I have a correct name. I even tried a Hotmail and/or Outlook account, and a Windows
live account. Its very frustrating and time consuming just for an account. There's even other features you can access with an Xbox Live account. Anyone know a correct domain name I could use for an account? Thanks

Unable to add son to xbox one

You don't have to.

The problem is if you used the 360 to set up your sons account it has been done with no region which defaults to US and under COPPA

However, follow these steps

Go to outlook.com (or your own email server/host if you have your own domain but outlook is easier)
Sign up for an email address
Sign into accounts.live.com
Set up account details there including region!!! Tbh we set my son up as older.
Now, go to a 360 where his account exists, and it was under profile or account (my hubby done this) ther is an option to change the account the gamer tag is tied to
Enter the account you set up at the start
Sign you son into XBOX 360 with the new account password
You will then be asked to sign in as an adult to allow it - without COPPA!!!!! This is the magic
Give it an hour, then add the account to the XBONE!!

No help from Xbox live except for them getting hold of the wrong end of the stick, not understanding and arbitrarily closing tickets except for a statement about his account having no region. Hubby worked it out all by himself along with a lot of cursing MS - and he is a freelance MS Consultant, used to work for Microsoft and still has contacts there. The fact that xbox live support can't answer this is a joke and that it can't be done on the One is also farcical.

I hope this helps you to resolve your problem
