Hello and welcome again to this very special blog. I am so
much exited to have
you here. Today I shall be talking to you briefly on how to
set up a custom email
for your website or blog. If your blog or website url is www.incomebooks.com you
will need to get
a email address which will rebrand your business and make you look
professional. In that case your custom domain will be either
yourname@yourwebsitename .com
or info@yourwebsitename.com
or contact@yourwebsitename.com
those are examples
of customized emails.
If you own a blog or website I will
advice that you do this immediately will teach
you how to set up a custom
domain and then redirect it to your normal Gmail email
address so that when you
receive an email from the custom email, it will come direct
into your Gmail or
yahoo email address. So let’s begin
To get a custom email, you need a hosting account and a
domain. If you
already have
a custom domain and hosting then we can proceed if
not you can go and get
a cheap hosting at SOJHOST. They will give you a year
hosting and domain for
N2500 only. I also use web4africa to get hosting and
domain. In fact you can but
your host from anywhere in the world; all we need
is a domain and host.
After getting your domain and host follow the steps below.
Go to your cpanel that is (yourblogurl.com/cpanel) hope your
remember
Login using your email and password which will be given to
you by your host
Click on email account
which can be found under email section
You will be taken to a new page to add new account
Fill the email account form with
the new customize email you want. I used
Charles my name for branding. Enter a
very good password make sure
you combine words and letters or symbols. Tick
250MB and click create
account
If everything works well you will
see a success message
We have just created a
personalized message for your website if someone
uses that email to send you a
mail you will need to go to yoururl.com/webmail
and then login with your user
name and password to see the emails you have
and reply to your senders. But that
is stressful for me so I want to show us how
to redirect our webmail emails to
our normal Gmail accounts.
Go back to your cpanel homepage
and click on webmail under Emails
Next page will lead you to secure webmail login. Click it
It will now bring you to a page
were you will choose which of the email clients to
use. You can choose anyone.
I use horde to power my emails. Just
click horde
and login with your user
name and password that is all.
How to redirect emails to our Gmail
account
Go back to your cpanel home page
under email click forwarders
It will lead us to our forwarder
page were you will click add forwarder
and you will be lead to a page to fill a little details.
1.
Enter your
newly created personalized email mine is ” Charles”
2.
Tick on
forward to email address and add your normal Gmail address mine is mynewblog4you@gmail.com
Now click add forwarder and that is all you will
be taken to a page were
you will be told that your setup is successful and any
email sent to your custom
email will be sent to your normal email address. So
anyone who sent me a mail at Charles@incomebookskit.com I
will receive it at mynewblog@gmail.com
simple.
