Email Options

First up there are three things to consider

1, Cost 
2. Flexibility and Control
3. What do you want to achieve

So initially you could use a free email
yourbusinessname@gmail.com
and certainly i think every business should have one of these .
Why?
 Well it links with your website and enables you to monitor data.
also called Google Analytics

This will show you what is working on-line,

Plus it links you to your YouTube channel/s
so if you wish to incorporate Video in your marketing do it
And it gives you a backup email if everything else fails

Now if you havn’t registered it yet create a yourbusinessname@gmail.com
at Gmail now
simply put a must have

But of course while that is your “secret email” that is the backend to your business
that’s is not the email that is the face of your business it should be…

yourpositionorname@yourbusinessname.com

or
admin@yourbusinessname.com

or
sales@yourbusinessname.com

etc…

So now we have to host your email and where are we going to do that?
these are some options…

In many ways where you decide to host your website/sales/service/businesspostcard will guide you in this path.

As will how much you wish to spend on this an annual basis.

So if your Facebook page is literally your website
and all your work/income is coming through that
then you could just use your gmail as your email
but it doesn’t really look professional…

So you could pay Google and upgrade to a business email address

Or use a company such as TheXYZ.com 

or

you could purchased Email Hosting with your Domain Name
from the CanDoWebs Domains Shop 

And this will be required if the website solution you are using
does not include email hosting.

So from your Domain Name Registrar
(the place where you have purchased you Domain From
eg –  CanDoWebs solution https://www.businessnamedomains.com) 
you can point your email hosting to your email hosting proviider through there.
And host your Website elsewhere.

Now the public will know no difference as all things are under your Domain Name
be it your Email Addresses or Website or Shop or Appointment Booking System

Now as your website hosting could be a seperate entity so it may be
a Facebook Page or a Sales Funnel or an actual Business Website Page.

Now from a starting out budget point of view you can
register a Domain Name,
create an email address/es,
and point your domain to a free page
eg- Facebook
of course the only problem is if for some reason Facebook Bans you
in which case you have lost your principal method of talking to your clients.

So the next level
(the one CanDoWeb recommends)
is to purchase a Website Hosting package
that includes what is effectively unlimited email options
and
for a small to large business, community group or entrepreneur this is ideal. 

You get your email hosted and your website as well,
and you can back it up so you will always have access to it
and you are totally in control.
Cost vary but from something starting around $58AU a year
it’s kind of a no brainer.

And this still allows you to use all sorts of other online solutions
to market your business and the best thing about it is that
you own it
and no one
(unless you don’t pay your yearly subscriptions for your domain name and webhosting)
can take it from you.

You have many options in terms of backup or redundancy
and from a business point of view this is essential.

Now of course you can mix and match your online solutions.

You may wish to use email hosting from thexyz.com as your email
because they integrate with the Microsoft mindset and
with their online calendar mobile and desktop solutions enable easy collaboration
with your staff re meetings.

You may wish to use the solutions that CanDoWebs Domain Hosting
offers cause it’s just so straight forward to setup for a one person operation.
And expand as your business grows…

You may wish to use the WebHosting Solution that CanDoWeb Offers
where you have total control to create as many email addresses as you need for one annual fee.

It’s all about what works for you and your business,
No answer is correct for every one and with the Domain registration through CanDoWebs 
https://www.businessnamedomains.com
you can change as you need to, and as your business grows.

So…
