If your not going to make a website then you can use email forwarding.

Anything@yoursite.com to your name@sky.com

You can also have different emails sent to different email addresses.

accounts@yoursite to @sky

bobsmith@yoursite to @yahoo.com

etc etc.

Brilliant - thank you.

The only downside to that is when you reply they will get [EMAIL="joe-bloggs@sky.com"]joe-bloggs@sky.com[/EMAIL]. as the sent address

To have a "proper" send/receive e-mail address you need a domain name and a web hosting package- this will give you access to a mailserver. Should be around £40 a year.

I'd like to have my own email address for my company. I think it looks more professional than joe-bloggs@sky.com.

So why scrimp on web hosting (i.e. why use free?). Also your business, regardless of what it is, should ideally be on the internet these days even if its website is just made up of a one-page Contact Us / Business Details web page.

Use Freehostia dot com.

Its free and easy to use.

You could use outlook/hotmail/live as your email

https://domains.live.com/

Setup some DNS entries on your domain to point to their servers and hey presto, your email will now work through outlook.com and outlook/hotmail phone apps.

Yes, and no.

Gmail can do this, and it's free

Was free, google removed new sign ups for the free edition of google apps at end of last year. You can still forward the mail to the gmail address.

Disgraceful - I still haven't set my email address up yet.

I bought the domain name for three years. I've decided that I will do a very simple one page website.

I have just got microsoft outlook so I want all my emails to come into outlook.

So should I now go and buy web hosting and then the email will be forwarded to my outlook?

I use these guys for some basic websites that I've done.

I have my email set up through their control panel so it's me@mydomain.co.uk.

Haven't found any draw backs for the cheapness as yet.

I clicked on their website but there is too much info - totally confuses me.

I need something much more simple
