Easiest way to get own domain, business email with name

by Timjw55 Jun 5, 2009 2:26AM PDT

Hello - Whats the easiest way to go about securing our own domain for our business. We will want to setup a website in the near future but right now all I want to do is have our email addresses say our business name at the end (tim@businessname.com). Thanks for any help.

You can set this up

with any host that offers cpanel or similar. Just purchase the domain and hosting, then you can setup the email. It can be a small hosting account at first, then as you need the web site or more space to store emails, you can upgrade as needed. Now, I like to purchase my domains separately from hosting and with different companies so one does not control the other.

Email addresses to your business name
by RegisterNuke Jun 6, 2009 5:27AM PDT

There are a variety of companies that offer email and website services. Search for a company that offers an email address that comes free when you purchase a domain name. Go on yahoo or google and search and cut your costs by comparing different registrars that offree even a free website in addition with an email adress at your domain.com

Try yahoo
by bkay Jun 9, 2009 7:53AM PDT

If you only want email in your name, just do it through yahoo. It's $35.00 (includes mail and your URL) per year with several email accounts. I've had my personal site (www.myname.com) with them for years. Since I only use it for personal stuff, I'm not sure how many accounts you can have with it (me@myname.com, you@myname.com, john@myname.com), but I think it is 5. Register.com offers the service as well, but I have no experience with them. Godaddy offers the service, but I haven't used them for this purpose.

I would not recommend Yahoo.com for a website, as I've never tried it. However, as far as I can see they are tops at email.
