Kethus Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hi, I'm going to set up a website for my father's shop. I noticed that my country's hosting services provide unlimited email boxes, but emails aren't mentioned anywhere on the places that sell domains. Then I notced a foreign website that had cheaper domain prices that offered adding email to the domain fo additional tax. So now I'm confused, what do I have to do to actually get an email like name@website.com? Does the email need to be supported by both the domain and hosting services? But then again all hosting services in my country also sell domains and I even have an option to get hosting+domain and emails are only ever mentioned in the hosting part.

Alan Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I'm not very web hosting savvy, but I've bought some domains for no real reason and I have used external email thingies because it's easier. If you let Google or Outlook manage your email it will be good. Both of them used to have a free and really useful category but now it's gone. I personally prefer Google Apps. (Since then you can use all the perks a google account gives you) Google http://apps.google.com Outlook http://domains.live.com So my suggestion is to get hosting and domain from your favorite registrar and let Gmail or Outlook solve your email problems. I believe GoDaddy offers email too and it's cheap, but I have never tried it. Edited July 13, 2015 by AIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
