Question

I want a custom professional email?

by Jan 17, 2016 10:36PM PST

Hello, I am Deepak Krishnappa a fictional writer from India. I own a small business website in which, I post all my stories.

For getting in touch with people I use Gmail, my host told me that I can configure my custom email through the IMPS setting (I dont know what is that) but they do not provides a support for that. Can you guys help me to configure my custom email.

Thanks in advance. Hope you get a quick response from cnet team, if possible.

Regards
Deepak Krishnappa

If the company where you host your business website doesn't support e-mail , I'd transfer your content to a hoster where you can have your own domain and a linked e-mail address. That's how professionals do it.

It's like me having an e-mail address kees_b(at)cnet.com (it isn't, but it could be mine).

Hi Kees,

Thanks for a quick revert. Yes this is something that I want my business. I am looking forward, may I know how much it costs to get a professional email or does it comes free from hosting providers.

Hosting (your business site and mail) generally only is free for low traffic volumes and if you allow ads on your site they make money with.

It's a free market, so prices and features may vary between companies. But I'm sure you can find one that meets your requirements.

Normally a hosting provider has an email you can set up for your website. A lot of times it is the name for your account @websitename.com. I would ask your hosting provider what they offer you as a email for your website.

Hi,

Thanks CNET Guys for helping me out. I have switched my hosting provider and they are providing me free email accounts but they saying their is some limits of sending emails. Anyways this is something that is enough to get started.

Thanks

Seems OK.

And, remember, limits can be raised if you pay more if your company grows and needs it. Start cheap.
