Setup a Professional Email ID For Your Domain with Google Apps
If you're a professional blogger or a tech company and using public domain email addresses, such as one offered for free by Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail mail; even though when you already own a domain name. Then the first important thing to keep in mind is that every business/blog domain needs a professional branded email ID. In this article, we will show you how to setup/create a professional email ID using Google Apps and Gmail.

What is Domain Specific Email Address

A Domain Specific Email Address is the one that has your domain name in it. admin@example.com, info@example.com. You can be a more professional with Domain Specific Email Address.

Email ID's on free mail services like admin.blogsdaddy@gmail.com are not really good because they do not look professional.

If you want a domain specific Email address, you will need a domain name and a complete website. Previously I have published some articles on domain name suggestion tools and cheap wordpress hosting companies to quickly setup a website.

Why Use Google Apps for Work?

There are so many WordPress hosting companies that you can use to setup a domain-based email ID but most hosting email servers are treacherous, antagonistic, confined, and less secure. You wouldn’t even know if the mail you dispatched was delivered.

Google Apps for Work are the best options. Google Apps for work cost $5/user/month, and it accommodate with all Google services.
