How To Create Custom Business Email And Use It With Gmail

Hi guys! Today we’re going to see how to create your own business email. We’ll use the WebSpaceKit hosting platform, which provides free business emails with their hosting plans. But even if you’re using a different hosting provider, you can still follow along.

By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to use an email address with your own domain name, like contact@yourwebsite.com or support@yourwebsite.com. This looks much more professional than using a regular Gmail address. We’ll also cover how to create multiple business emails on the same domain.

Step 1: Get a Domain and Hosting

1. Choose Your Domain: Go to WebSpaceKit, enter the name you want for your website, and click ‘Search’ to see if it’s available.
2. Select a Plan: Add the domain to your cart and select a hosting plan based on your needs. For example, if you only need one website, choose the appropriate plan.
3. Payment and Checkout: Select the length of your hosting plan (longer plans often have discounts), fill in your details, choose a payment method, and place the order.

Once you’ve placed the order, you’ll have your domain and hosting set up.

Step 2: Create a Business Email Account

1. Access Email Settings: Go to your WebSpaceKit account, scroll down, and click on ‘Email Accounts’.
2. Create Email Account: Click ‘create email account’, enter the desired business email (e.g., alex@yourwebsite.com), set a password, and enable unlimited space if needed.
3. Save Your Password: Make sure to save your password somewhere safe.

Step 3: Set Up Email Forwarding

1. Forward Emails: In the email settings, click on ‘Forwarders’, then ‘add forwarder’.
2. Enter Gmail Address: Enter your Gmail address where you want to receive the business emails and click ‘add forwarder’.

All emails sent to your business email will now be forwarded to your Gmail inbox.

Step 4: Add Business Email to Gmail

1. Access Gmail Settings: In your Gmail inbox, click ‘see all settings’, then ‘accounts and import’.
2. Add Business Email: Click ‘add another email address’, enter your name and business email, and click ‘next step’.
3. Configure Email: Get the required details (username, password, port 465) from your WebSpaceKit account under ‘configure mail client’. Enter these details in Gmail and click ‘add account’.
4. Verify Email: Gmail will send a confirmation code to your business email. Retrieve this code from your inbox, enter it in Gmail, and click ‘verify’.

You can now send emails from your business email through Gmail. To make it your default ‘From address’, go to your Gmail inbox and set it as the default.

Creating Multiple Business Emails

1. Create Additional Emails: Go to WebSpaceKit and repeat the process of creating an email account for each new address you need (e.g., support@yourwebsite.com).
2. Set Up Forwarding: For each new email, set up forwarding to your Gmail account as described above.
3. Add to Gmail: Add each new business email to your Gmail account by following the same steps.
