It is very tempting these days to have a free email address like “yourbusinessname@yahoo.com” or “yourbusinessname@gmail.com,” but as inexpensive as Domain Names are these days, why not get your own business email address? It is considered more professional to have an email with your own Domain Name and it is well worth the cost if you can get a Domain Name that truly represents your business and is easy to remember.

With 1st year prices as low as $2 or $3 for a .com Domain Name at some places, we highly recommend purchasing a Domain Name that can help you brand your business. Of course this is an entry price, but the cost to have your own domain name is usually between $8.00 and $15.00 yearly after that first year special that most places offer. In addition to the domain name you will need an email service. some Domain Registrars included a certain amount of email address free, while others have a monthly or yearly cost.

There are several ways that you can setup your email such as POP, IMAP, or Hosted Exchange. There first two options are less expensive, but having your email service setup with a Hosted Exchange service can add some great benefits to your email solution such as the ability to have shared calendars, reliable synchronization of your email between Outlook, the Web, and your Smart Phone.

Some of this may seem somewhat daunting, but please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to assist your in getting your the right solution for your business and helping you set it up.
