Is an ETH wallet on an exchange or web based wallet same as an address on myethe

Obviously, I'm a newbie. I have an online wallet on an exchange and a web based wallet. I'd like to know if they are the same as MEW. Especially that I'd like to receive tokens and free coins on airdrops.

If you want to receive an Ethereum based token, do not use any exchange as you cannot control the private key. Just use myetherwallet.

Thanks, I now have a MEW address to handle tokens.

Myetherwallet is the best for you. You can use a address and private key from this wallet for both such as Ether and token. my special suggestion for you that, use only myetherwallet without any hesitation for secure your ether and tokens.

If you have the private keys for your wallet then you would insert them into the new wallet that you have for Ethereum. Request a back up if you don't have private keys.

You could accept any coin that uses Ethereum's Blockchain.

until now i not see exchanger that can do that, maybe MEW is the only way that we can receive ERC20 token for web wallet service, and we keep our priv key by ourself
