How to Get Free and Paid Business Email

So let’s start what I mean by free email. In today’s life it’s very easy to get a free business email. Here are the providers where you can register such as Gmail, outlook, yahoo etc. mean a small business owner can start up the business & use their services easily and get an email address free . Almost nothing is for free on the internet, you pay it in one way or another. For instance, using Gmail means that Google can look at your email and target advertisements to you based on the emails you receive and send. Not much wrong with that if you are a private person.

Other providers make their money in similar ways. The problem is only you can create the email but they did not allow you to to create an email with your own domain. It may be an issue because it may look unprofessional, like you have a business email like name@myowncompany.com. This looks much more professional than name@gmail.com..? Right?? Most people using personal emails for their businesses like Gmail or Yahoo, but they are not looking professional. If we talk about business email addresses it looks very amazing & professional & totally easy to remember for customers & if you want to take them seriously then you have the need of an email address which seems attractive as well as professional.

These are the providers where you have to pay some amount of money to host your email, usually you get this with your hosting provider or you can go with another party to host it like, Gmail for Business, Office 365.

The most important thing of your company is how your customers can reach you. This can be done by visiting your website, by phone or send an email. My feeling with a company that uses a free email address gives themselves not much credit how they brand themselves to the outside world. When I can choose between 2 small businesses that have similar qualifications and one has a paid email address and the other a free one, I will choose the paid one because they probably have better values for themselves

When you use a free email provider, privacy is usually the first thing that will be sacrificed. Most users don’t know this because they don’t read the agreements before signing up for the account. To know what you are giving to the provider you can read the license agreement or you can take a guess on how the company is making their money. For Google, this is advertisements. For Microsoft, this is selling licenses and products.

The costs of an email address can just be cash or with your privacy. When you choose for a paid email provider the cost can be from a few Dollars/r Month to around 10 Dollars depending on the provider or options of the email provider.

Most domain providers give you access to basic email facilities. You can choose to host it on Office 365 and there you have Office 365 Exchange Plan 1 for $3,40 per month. A basic Gmail for business costs $5, per month.

Nowadays we have at least two devices if not more where we check our email on. This can give challenges to some of the hosting companies because they have their own system and synching that to your phone, tablet and computer can sometimes be a challenging task. When you use Gmail for business, Office 365, Outllook.com or Gmail this is as simple as entering your email address and password on those devices. Some have their own apps like the Outlook application.

Not everyone thinks about this one, because email is email, right.? Well Email part is not the problem here, but when you run a business you also make appointments & invite other people for those appointments. When you are on Gmail.com and invite a partner that is not on Gmail.com they get a strangely formatted email with an extra attachment. When you do the same from outlook or Office 365 it uses the de-facto standard ICS format. Using your provider’s email, you might not have an option to send an invite to other people.

The method is very easy & also available to almost every person having a website. It is allowing you to create a free email address for business.

During creating a website for small business, first thing you need to sign up for domain & web hosting.
