When you have a web address, why would you want to use a hotmail email address?

Once you have registered your domain address for your website, did you realise you can use that domain as your email straightaway?

I still see so many business cards & leaflets listing a valid web address, yet the contact email is your.name@hotmail.com or your.name@btinternet.com

Your business branding is important and when you are advertising your contact email address using one of the free email providers, it just looks naff.  In fact, it screams “newbie – just starting out in business”.

So how do you go about setting a business email address that reflects your business name?  Log in to your web hosting account (or get your web designer to do this for you) and create a new email address using your website domain.

Then set up a new email account in your outlook (or whichever email application you use) and configure your settings so that you can send and receive emails using your new email address. Click here if you want a step by step process for doing this in outlook.

What image do you want to portray?  “newbie” or business professional?
