If you don’t already have an email account associated with your business name, now is the time!  The sooner the better I say!  That way when you email friends, family, customers and POTENTIAL customers it looks something like:

and beyond!

You can have this email forward emails to another email address that you’re more comfortable using if you like…. this way the email address you present (advertise) to the world looks professional and it also advertises your business for you in all your communications!

When people see [email protected]  – they can see my website address in it and check out my site without me even inviting them to… (this is great for correspondence with family and friends, heh).  The more traffic you get on your site – whether it be friends, family or clients, the better…  Search engines count your traffic and how long your traffic stays on your site.

So again, consider getting an email account with your domain name.

If you had a good hosting account for your domain name then you should have a free email account included with it.  But if you want to wait on the monthly hosting fees, then a domain and email account should work very nicely for you, until you’re ready to add to add more, such as an online ecommerce.  ?
