Creating an Email with Your Own Domain

Having a web hosting account means you can have email addresses @yourdomain. So, if your domain is www.myawesomeblog.com, you could have an email address of myname@myawesomeblog.com. (Substituting ‘myname’ for your name or whatever you wanted). And you don’t just get one email address either, so any contributors to your blog could have their own addresses. Using your domain name in your email address adds some legitimacy to your ‘brand’ and helps you promote your blog to anyone who sees your email address.

Another benefit of using your web hosting email is that you can create mailing lists, automatically forward emails to another address, and add in automatic responders to reply to emails for you.
