I am about to start a home based business and looking for a cheap domain hosting and email service. I still need to build a website later on when my stock level and varieties increases.
At the moment I need to register, host a domain and provide about 3 email address linked to the domain.where i can use POP or IMAP to forward the mails to my email client and google account.
I want to make the business emails look professional and not using a web based email service.

Any ideas and opinions please.

  • Purchase a domain and hosting with GoDaddy or HostGator and then sign up for Google Hosted Apps. Cost will be extremely minimal this way, and you will be able to access your mail account from online and your desktop, through an application like Outlook or Thunderbird. Dont let your hosting provider con you into "buying" email addresses with them.
