Having a business email address gives your company that professional edge. Imagine if you were emailing an employee from a large stuffed-animal company and you got a reply from mike.johns@gmail.com<\/a>. It could seem little off-putting, couldn\u2019t it? It might make you wonder if the email address is legitimate. It\u2019s not something you\u2019ll see from many of the bigger, more reputable companies. An email address like mike.johns@massivestuffedanimals.com<\/a> would probably make you feel more secure. Additionally, a business email address allows for flexibility (more users, etc.) where a personal email does not. So do yourself a favor and create a business email.\u00a0

If you\u2019re not sure how to create one, don\u2019t sweat it. Creating a business email is not much harder than setting up a personal email account. Here are some quick-and-easy steps to get your business email started:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Make sure you have a domain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Prior to creating an email, you must have either a website or a purchased domain. If you haven\u2019t already created one, do so before taking steps toward creating a business email.\u00a0
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Check to see if a business email comes with your web host, and then decide which email host is right for you.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Don\u2019t rush into creating a business email. Before you spend any money, check to see if your web host includes email hosting. Many WordPress hosts, such as Bluehost, GoDaddy, iPage, and more, offer less-expensive and free plans. You can also select a third-party host, like G Suite. Additionally, website-design sites like Wix.com also include email package options. Of course, you don\u2019t always have to go with a free or more affordable option. Not whether to use a third-party platform? Check out this article <\/a>on the best email hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Create an account and sign up for the service you desire.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        If you choose to go with a third-party host, you\u2019ll need to create an account using their site. If, for instance, you decide to go with G Suite (a third-party host we love), press \u201cGet Started\u201d on their main page.
        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"G<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        You\u2019ll be asked a series of simple questions. Enter your name, the name of your business, the number of employees, etc., then put in your domain name. Next, create a username and password.\u00a0
        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"Create<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \"Enter<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Google will select a plan for you based on the information you\u2019ve provided, but you can choose to explore other options by clicking \u201cLearn more\u201d when offered a plan.\u00a0
        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you are using your website host, you\u2019ll want to sign in to your current account. With iPage, for instance, you\u2019ll sign in to your account and select \u201cmailcentral.\u201d From here, you can set it up by creating a domain name and entering a password. Hosts like IPage will allow you to choose from a variety of plans as well. Bluehost offers great plans for both large and small companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Manage your email.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          How you manage your email will vary depending on which host you select. With G Suite, it\u2019s quite simple. Check your email account as you would with a regular Gmail account: go to gmail.com and sign in with your email and password. If you are a Gmail user, it will look like what you are used to.\u00a0
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"G<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          If you are using a host site, you\u2019ll manage your email by signing into the host site. For instance, on Bluehost, you\u2019ll sign in to your Bluehost account, then click on the email section and select \u201caccess webmail.\u201d You can also choose to forward emails.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Tips:
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Create a simple, easy-to-remember email address.<\/strong>
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Keep your email address simple. Use your name or a generic category like \u201cinfo\u201d or \u201cquestions\u201d @ your website or business name.com. For instance, if you\u2019ve got a business called Cutie Lemons, a good email might be info@cutielemons.com<\/a>.\u00a0
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Use free trials.<\/strong>
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Take advantage of any free trials offered. Do your research for good deals. For instance, some blogs offer discount deals for Bluehost. Before purchasing your email, find the best deal on what you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Regularly check your emails.<\/strong>
          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Once you set up an email, make sure you regularly check your inbox. If you don\u2019t, you could miss out on a good sales opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
