How to Create an Email Account
Hi there! In this video, you’ll learn how create your own email account.
A website is just one way you can put your domain name to work. You can also use your domain name to create an email account. Creating a domain-based email account for personal use provides an opportunity to express who you are with a unique address.
Think about all of the John Smiths in the world; chances are to get a free email account now, they would need to append their name with their birthday, their hometown, their favorite sandwich, or a bunch of random numbers before they’d find an available email address through a free provider. If you create an email account for your business using your domain name, you’ll have a professional email address that instills confidence in your customers and builds brand credibility.
Before you can create your own email account, you need to purchase an email package for your domain name. Your email package provides you with storage space on our servers for your emails, as well as secure file storage for any email attachments you might receive. Depending on the package you choose, GoDaddy email may also provide access to productivity tools like video conferencing and Microsoft Office 365 applications, like Word and PowerPoint.
Regardless of the package you choose, your new GoDaddy Office 365 email account is a web-based version of Microsoft Outlook. This means you can use it to view or send email from any device, as long as you’re connected to the Internet.
To get started creating your own email account, in your GoDaddy account, access your Domains. Choose the domain name that you want to use for your email account and click Use My Domain. Now, select Set Up a Professional Email. GoDaddy offers three email packages each available for one of three terms. Just select the email package and term that works best for you and complete the purchase process.
Some email packages allow you to add additional email addresses, which can be especially useful for businesses. For example, the owner of Molly’s Bark and Wine has three unique addresses in the email account she created with her domain name - a personal account; an account for general inquiries; and an account for customers interested hosting an event at her winery. So in addition to making her business look more professional, her email accounts help her better manage business-related correspondence.
Once you complete your purchase, you’ll receive a confirmation email that walks you through the setup for your email account.
If you’ve registered a unique domain, why not have a unique email address - use your domain and create your own email account.
