| 1428425 | 2016-11-05 23:51:00 | Hi all, any recommendation of where to get this done? NZ company or a overseas one like godaddy? Cheers. |

| 1428426 | 2016-11-06 00:10:00 | After that how does one get an email address - is that from the web hosting company like one example zoho.com? Can they do that. How many can we have? | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1428427 | 2016-11-06 01:25:00 | Metaname.co.nz Zoho can do free email accounts but how many are you wanting? Is this for a business? Google apps or office 365 would be better for that. |

Just personal use. Only need 2 addresses for myself, the other (3) people might want one for themselves or maybe they don't want. Google apps allows additional email usernames? Or do you mean just using them for the POP or IMAP ability as an alias? |

| 1428429 | 2016-11-06 03:36:00 | If it's just personal then nothing wrong with the free zoho mail account. You can have up to 25 user's/email accounts on that, with each one getting 5gb of storage. You can do pop, IMAP, or exchange activesync, depending on how you want to use your email. |

| 1428430 | 2016-11-06 04:35:00 | Thanks for that. I was just reading about Outlook.com and how you can get 50x email addresses. Using Gmail (or Outlook) may be more familiar (after setting them up with Zoho/Outlook). I read that Google pulled out of free email hosting. | Nomad (952) | ||

Correct, Google don't do free email accounts, with custom domains, any more. Zoho is about the only decent one I know of now that does free email accounts with custom domains. Microsoft also stopped doing free email accounts, with custom domains, a couple of years ago but I've heard they may be bringing it back now that they have moved over to the new outlook.com (Office 365) platform. |

Most domain places offer email only accounts as well, you don't have to have full website hosting to be able to use email. And yes, you can have several email addresses off it. |

| 1428433 | 2016-11-12 05:12:00 | Beware web hosts that offer a very low initial monthly fee. They then revert to an elevated 'normal' fee after the first 12 months. There's loads of hype out there, with honest commentary on hosts being pretty thin on the ground, unless you're prepared to do plenty of research first. Many of these hosts post their own bogus reviews of their own services. |

| 1428434 | 2016-11-12 23:03:00 | So you need a few things: 1) A domain registrar, this is who you'll buy your .co.nz domain from (Lets say nomad.co.nz) 2) A DNS provider. Some registrars also include this free. This will change nomad.co.nz in to 121.98.0.1, and mail.nomad.co.nz to mx.zoho.com 3) A Hosting Provider, if you want a website to show up when people go to nomad.co.nz 4) A Mail provider, if you want to be able to send / receive emails as bobjones@nomad.co.nz Some Hosting providers also do DNS, some domain providers also do DNS. 1 & 2 are required if you want either of 3 & 4 to work, but you don't *have* to have email, and you don't *have* to have a website, so you can get away with just #1, #2, and #4 for example :) |
