Want to buy own domain for business email?

textbook

Edit
Paid £10 to google for domain jspropertymaintenance.com but they wanted £4.60 a month for me to have my name- Johnregent@jsproperty.com .

Does anyone know a cheaper company for me to get this email made up?

Are you tied into hosting with google/ina contract?

Choose one of the many hosting companies..

I get 200 email accounts included in my hosting price.

Many companies will host for a cut price for 12 months, eg fasthosts, but you'll end up shopping around again in 12 months or paying the full fee. £4.60 isn't uncompetitive from my (limited) experience

I take it that's a typo - where you bought one domain with "maintenance" on the end, but want an email address for a domain without that word on the end?


But yes, buying (well, renting) the domain is one cost, then paying for hosting is another. I'm currently using 1&1 / Ionos to host my domain and emails at £1.20 per month, but it's limited to 12 months and at the end of that I have to do something about it or it goes quite expensive.

I just pay for the domain name and use free email hosting with GMX.

I can access the email account from anywhere, but can only send mail from my domain using my ISP's SMTP server from home.

If I wanted to send mail remotely, I'd have to find another SMTP server to use. I'm not sure if the ones provided by free email hosts let you use your own domain or not...?

Fasthosts - https://www.fasthosts.co.uk/domain-names


Then you can have as many email addresses as you like, you can even set up lists quite easily, just pay for the domain name and use the redirect option to send emails to another address like hotmail, or yahoo The sender just sees your address as johnregent@jsproperty.com, and you set up hotmail or yahoo to say its come from your jsproperty address.

I presume you won the domain because I found this:

If the OP wants to use Google and Gmail he should be able to do this without paying a monthly fee - it works for me.
1 - sign up for a gmail address (does not matter what it is, you will not use it after step 3)
2 - through google's domain management redirect all email to the domain to forward to the gmail address
3 - in gmail configure an alternate sender address using the domain email you want
This way you can use a whole domain of email addresses managed through a single gmail account

No, and just need one email address.

I will have any emails forwarded to my hotmail email. Which is the only one I really use. Just want a professional look for my business

Don't totally understand, but you're saying that with a gmail address (which I have), I can get my domain for free?

We use 1and1 Ionos.

Your initial message is unclear.

You say you have bought the domain jspropertymaintenance.com but then you say you want to use an email address in a different domain Johnregent@jsproperty.com.

I assumed this was a typing error and you actually want to use johnregent@ a domain you own. If this is the case then you can set up google (as part of the domain registration setup) to forward all emails to xxx@domainname to any email address you want. In my case I do this to a gmail account. In gmail you can also configure a different sender's address so you can send an email from your registered domain.

In my case

mail to anything@mycompany.com is delivered to myname@gmail.com
If I reply or create an email in my myname@gmail.com I can choose to send it as me@mycompany.com

The only part of this I have to pay for is the domain registration at £10 per year
