You would get one with a Google Workspace subscription. Probably not the cheapest but would give a hassle-free transition from existing gmail (presumably)

£5 per month

Can you cancel this at anytime and have more than one email with the domain?  Deciding between google and Godaddy- £21/yr

Please avoid GoDaddy, look up their ethics as a company.

With most domain registrars / hosts (e.g. Fasthosts) you pay for the domain which is then yours for a period as a one off payment (then pay for renewals) and can then take an email package which usually is monthly billed and cancellable.

There are ways to be able to register a domain and then forward any emails from the domain provider to your Gmail account (that part is usually pretty simple). You can then set up your gmail account to be able to send out email based on the registered domain as well, but that can be more complex depending on the domain provider.

I do this where family members get any email addresses I have registered for them to their gmail account and any other email addresses (don't need to specify) get sent to my gmail account. Family members email is sent from the gmail account as if it were from their domain email, and I have a number of different outbound emails i can choose from in Gmail. Used to be I could automatically have it use the same email as it came into but Gmail have restricted that now.

ok, I'll avoid GoDaddy, how about Google workspace as the domain?  Or wix?  just want couple of email addresses at a domain for a short time with possibility of renewal.  Who would you recommend?

It looks that Workspace will do what you want. Look for the ‘business starter’ plan.  Yes it does let you have multiple aliases

Is this easy enough to cancel as well?  Don't wanna be in similar position to O2 where can't cancel easily or pay easily!

Business Starter plan is £5 per user/month so is that £120 for the year if I have two people off same domain m e.g.  [Removed by Forum Team]?

the domain is bbr.com , right?

just want two business emails for even just for a couple of months

It says £6 per user per month when billed monthly.

Canceling your service

With the Flexible Plan, you can cancel your subscription whenever you want, and you only pay for the service you already used.

so I've selected a business domain and it's £10/year, asking for login email name for the domain, shall I select one of the email addreses I want to use?

I'm in Google Workspace

If cancel I guess simple enough to start it up again, just login to Google Workspace and use the email again

coffeehound

Hi I would use your existing gmail account to register the domain

If you really only want it for a couple of months then I would question why you want to do it at all?

Is this a new business that you are trying to get off the ground and if it doesn't fly then it will get dropped in the first couple of months?

Want to get a business email as gmail isn't considered professional apparently, what's the cheapest way?

Gmails business email (business suite) is pretty cheap I think it’s 5 quid a head and you can use your website domain name but gmail as the inbox. You also get Google drive and other things included
