This article discusses the advantages to having your own email system with your own domain name instead of using free stuff that comes with your ISP or a junk account like AOL, MSN/Hotmail, Yahoo, GMail, etc. Setting up and using a domain name with custom email is much easier than many people realize. Before you waste your money on some system you can't control, read this.
Why get your own Domain Name? (www.YOURNAME.com) When you consider the extremely low cost and simplicity of use, the real question becomes why not? Domain names cost only about $10 per year. Once you own one, you have complete control. For starters, you get your own email system free with any domain name. Not some junk email like you get from Yahoo, Hotmail or AOL. It's a premium account with all the benefits of a professional email system under your control. Since it belongs to you and not your ISP or some web company, you never need to change your address unless you choose to. Also, your email address is not automatically exposed to spammers (like Yahoo and others) and your domain name is probably not famous and therefore not targeted by spammers. Of course, you can point your domain name to your personal or business website too. When someone types your domain name into a web browser like Internet Explorer (http://www.YourName.com), they will get whatever you want them to. This is how you can create a professional web presence for your business. An email address @ your own domain name tells everyone that you are an established business that cares about your public image. Everyone is on the net now, and there is no reason for your business, association or club to miss out. Even families can use a domain name. It’s a perfect place for pictures or current affairs. You can even show web cams, message boards, and other cool things for security and fun! Everyone gets their own email addresses, and you can control and monitor them. Getting started is cheap, easy and fun. Contact us if you are interested for free information.
