Enhance Your Business With Email
Different packages will come with different options for you - some companies may redirect all email sent to your domain to an existing email address that you have specified.
Other packages may include the provision of POP accounts which means you will be able to configure an email client like Outlook Express to send and receive email from your company name.
Many companies will also provide you with a webmail interface so that you can log into your account from any internet connected terminal.
A surprising number of businesses buy domain names and then continue to use old email addresses that are linked to their ISP such as AOL or BT etc. We would suggest you phase use out of such ISP-dependent accounts as soon as you have your domain.
As well as having an email address to publicise, you may also wish to have an email form on your website so that visitors can easily send you a message. These are highly recommended for attracting enquiries from potential customers.
