Custom Email Domain

[aygart]

• If you only need to receive emails from the domain but will send from gmail etc. then find a registrar which will just forward any email to the domain to your gmail address, set it to forward and you are done
• If you need to send as well then find a domain registrar (not necessarily a host) which will include the amount of email addresses you need with domain registration. (I use 1and1 as my registrarwhich included one email address and forwarded unlimited address. At this point everything goes to my host)
• Set up the email address(es) and forwarder(s) in your control panel at the registrar
• To use Outlook etc. set it up per the registrar's instructions
• To use gmail to receive AND SEND for the email address go into the gmail settings and add a POP3 account to gmail. This will mark emails as read on the registrar's server immediately upon receipt
• Ask questions if and when you get stuck or if this does not meet your needs.

Yes, but most recipients will see it as 123@gmail.com on behalf of 123@domain.com

buy it from a domain registrar. examples: godaddy, namecheap, dreamhost, there are many more but those are the first few I thought of

I used 1and1 and it worked well

Make sure whichever registrar you use gives you the amount of mailboxes you need

slightly OT: recently, my firstnamelastname.com became available and I bought it. Less than 4 months later I got engaged.

Maybe this is a segula?
