Today, I'll be showing you

How you can create your business email address for free

So after watching this video instead of you using a

normal gmail account like this one ([email protected]gmail.com),

you'll be able to use an email ID like

YourName@YourSite.com

which looks a lot more professional

Now, this means you will be able to send or receive emails

using addresses like contact@yoursite.com

or support@yoursite.com

So, after you create your business email

we'll see, how you can connect your business email

with gmail so that everything can be managed in one place

So, all you need to have to follow

this tutorial is a Domain name with GoDaddy

So, if you don't have a domain name, you can get it now

just by clicking here

So, you can get the domain

and then follow this tutorial

So after you've got the domian

Now if you try to create an email account on that domain

you would need to pay about 5 dollar a month

for creating a business email

So, In this video, I'll be showing you how you can avoid

paying that amount

and create your business email address for free

So let's get started!

We're going to create a business email address in just

5 steps!

The First Step

Is to login to godaddy

So, let's go to godaddy.com

and then click 'sign in'

Now sign-in to your account

Okay, so now I've signed in!

and you can see that

this is the domain that I have on my account

So we're going to setup the email on this domain

So to do that

Let's go to step 2

which is to create an email forward in godaddy

So by creating the forward

we'll be able to forward

all the emails

coming to your business email

to your gmail inbox

So let's create a forward,

let's scroll down

And click 'additional products'

then next to email forwarding

click 'redeem'

Now click 'create forward'

Now, in this field,

enter the business email address that you want to create

It can be anything@yourdomain.com

So I'm going to type contact@

Now when you type @ it will automatically show

the domain that you've purchased on your Godaddy account

So you can select it

and then here you need to enter your gmail address

Now here we're telling godaddy to forward,

all the emails sent to this address

to our gmail address

Okay!

So let's click create!

And our email forward has been created

So, Now let's go to STEP 3

Which is to check, if our DNS settings are correct

In order to ensure, that the emails are being forwarded,

we need to make sure, that our DNS is setup correctly

So to check our DNS settings

Click 'tools'

And click 'server settings'

Okay! So now you can see that we're getting

an error message

which says "No MX records were found"

So this means, the forward, we just created

will not work

and enter the settings given here

So let's fix the DNS

by going to godaddy

Then click here

and click 'my products'

Now next to your domain name

click 'DNS'

So, we're going to add our MX records on this page

So let's scroll down

and click 'add'

And choose the 'type' as 'MX'

Now in this field, just type '@'

and now we need to copy-paste the

correct server settings in this box

So let's go back to this page

and copy this text

and paste it here

Now, enter '0' in this field

And click 'save'

Okay, so the first entry has been added

Now, let's add the final entry,

by clicking 'add'

And then select 'MX'

Now type '@' here

and then let's go to this page

And copy the second setting

and paste it here

Now enter '10' in this box

and click 'save'

Okay! So now we've added the MX records

So, let's go back

and previously we had this error message

Now, since we've added our MX records

let's click 'refresh'

And as you can see godaddy tells us that

the 'MX records' are correct

This means that our email forwarding will work

So previously we told godaddy,

to forward the emails coming here

to gmail

Okay!

So let's go to a random gmail account

and click 'compose'

and, try sending an email to contact@quicktechy.com

and click 'send'

Now if we go to the gmail account,

where we forwarded our mail

and click 'refresh'

You can see that we have received a mail

So let's click it

So now, if you click here

you can see that it was sent to our business email

So now, we're able to receive emails to our business email

Next, we're going to see how we can send emails

from this address

So right now, if we reply to this mail

It will still go from our gmail address which we don't want

We want our email to be sent from

contact@quicktechy.com

So to send emails from our domain

we need an SMTP server

So we're going to get a free server

from a website called 'SMTP2go'

Okay!

So let's go to STEP 4

which is to Setup an account, on SMTP2GO

So to create the account

Let's open a new tab

and search for 'SMTP2GO'

And then click the first link

And click 'Try for free'

Now let's enter these details

and click 'sign-up'

Okay! So once you reach this page

your SMTP account is now ready

So now let's go to the final step!

Which is to Add this account to Gmail

By doing this

we'll be able to send emails, from the business email address,

using gmail

So to add this account to gmail

Let's go there

and go to 'settings'

Now click 'accounts & import'

And now, since we want to send emails,

from our business email

We need to click 'add another email address'

And you'll get this 'new window'

Now first, we're going to enter the 'from name'

which we want in our emails

Now this is the name which will appear

when someone receives an email from you

So you can type anything here

So I'm going to type 'quicktechy support'

And then here you need to enter the same email,

which you used while setting up the email forward

So for me, it's contact@quicktechy.com

So, I'm going to enter that

and then click 'next'

Okay! So now we need to enter the username & password

from SMTP2GO

So let's go there

and copy the username

and paste it here

and then copy the password

and paste it

Okay!

So, now to get the SMTP server details

let's click 'finish'

and copy the setting from here

and then paste it here

Now set the port to '25'

and click 'add account'

So, now gmail will send a confirmation code to your

business email

So let's go to gmail

and go to our inbox!

Now click this confirmation email

and copy this code

and paste it here

Now click 'verify'

and we are done!

Now if we go to 'settings'

and click 'accounts & import'

you can see that our business email, is now, added!

Now if you want, you can set this address as

the default 'from' address

If you want to set it as the default email address,

just click 'make default'

And now all the emails will

be sent from your business email

Okay, so now let's test it

by sending an email from our business email

and see if we're able to receive it

So let's click 'compose'

And you can see that the email is being sent from,

our business email

Now you can still send emails from your gmail address

by clicking here

and choosing your gmail address

Okay!

So now, we'll test

If we are able to send emails from our business email

So I'll select the business email

and enter a test email

And click 'send'

Now if we go to that inbox

You can see that, we've received the mail!

So let's open the mail

And now if we click here

you can see that the mail was sent from

our business email

Okay!

So now we're able to send emails from our business email

Next, we're going to see, how you can remove this message

which says "via smtpservice"

Now, this message is being shown,

since we're using SMTP2GO

If you don't want 'this message' to be shown on your emails

there is a way you can remove it

So Next

Let's see, how we can remove the "sent via" message

Okay!

So in order to remove this message

Let's go to smtp2go

and then go to 'settings'

and click 'sender domains'

Now click 'add a domain'

and, enter your domain

So, I'm going to enter quicktechy.com

and then click 'add domain'

So in order to remove that "sent via" message in gmail,

We need to give access to SMTP2GO to use our domain

For doing that, we need to add these entries

into our DNS page

Since our DNS provider is godaddy

Let's go there

and then click here

and click 'my products'

Now click 'DNS'
