I would like a few email addresses like 3-5 . Hopefully when the emails are forwarded to Gmail, I won't need that much storage . Cheers .	Nomad (952)

Once you have a domain name, somewhere in the hosts setting there will be the option to setup email accounts, they are all different as the hosts don't all use the same interface . Example: my domain is hosted with Webdrive - when I login and click on the email ( on the left) there's options to manage emails, New, Remove, Alter etc . 8266	wainuitech (129)

1438968	2017-09-09 07:19:00	Ok, thanks I might have left out the hosting part after buying the domain name. Not all of them provide email hosting or they do with extra fees attached. Edit. If they provide free email forwarding I still need email hosting right?	Nomad (952)

If they are hosting a website you will be allowed many email accounts.	mzee (3324)

You could also look at the free Zoho mail, which I use and seems to work well. You do only get 5gb of email storage though, on their free account, per email address.	CYaBro (73)

Costs me nothing, that may not be the case now, dunno, but it didn't when I did it and it doesn't now. Should be instructions on changing MX records for your email on the domain help pages, you don't need the domain companies email services....	pctek (84)

If you use the Chrome Browser you can open a gmail account free, and include your Domain mail in the settings. I have 3 Domains on Gmail, doesn't cost anything.	mzee (3324)

I know they used to offer domain email hosting for free but not anymore. You might be able to use your own domain email for a google account but you won't receive email to it on gmail.	CYaBro (73)
1438974	2017-09-10 04:13:00	Ok .... so you can't use your own gmail and get it to check your own domain email too? I have a gmail account but also use it to check my clear.net that works. Is this different?	Nomad (952)
