So you're probably starting up a new business.
Social media check, marketing check, email check.
Or is it? Does this email really look professional
and project a good image of you and your business?
No, no, it is not.
That's why in this video I'll show you how to create an email
like name@yourbusiness.com by using web hosting
and the domain name from SiteGround.
If you already have both armed and ready, you can skip to this part in the video.
Otherwise, let's get started.
Click the link in the description and this will take you to a special siteground page
As you can see, all of the plans include a free email.
So even the cheapest option covers our needs.
Let's take it.
Now you still need a domain name.
If you don't own one already, you can get it right here and now.
Otherwise, just use the one you already own by clicking here.
Keep in mind that the name you are choosing at
this point will be the one visible on your email.
So keep it professional and preferably name it after your business
so it's recognizable.
Now just fill in your info and you are good to go.
At the moment.
SiteGround is having a promotional sale for one event 24 month periods.
But remember, the promo price is off the table once it's time to renew.
Now that you are fully equipped for the job, let's create
our professional email in a couple of minutes after logging in.
Jump straight into the websites tab. To host.
our email will have to quickly create a website
just for the emails an the empty site will do.
But if you want a professional page for your business,
I have a full tutorial on my channel.
Anyways, for now, just follow these few quick steps on the screen.
And voila you're set.
Next on the left side of your SiteGround dashboard,
look for the email tab and click on accounts.
I'll type in "info" as a name here,
but you can add a name, a job title or whatever tickles your pickle.
Add the password for our email and simply click create.
You'll now see your new email
at the bottom of the screen and you can log into it using this button.
You can actually create as many email addresses as you want.
SiteGround doesn't limit the amount.
However, if you want to enter your email, you have to first log into SiteGround.
Then go to your website.
Then go to emails and only then log into the actual email box you want.
That's quite a handful.
Not to worry though, because it is possible to connect your
custom email box together with Gmail and have everything in one place.
Okay. To get started, let's go back to our SiteGround's
site tools and go straight to email accounts there.
Click on the options button of the email.
You've just created and select mail configuration in the manual settings
you'll be presented
with some fancy schmancy settings will need later keep the previous
tab open, but now it's time to visit Gmail on the top right corner.
You'll notice a settings button, so click it and go to all settings.
Go to accounts and import select add email
account and enter your newly created email.
Stick with the POP3 selection and enter a full email once again
with the password you've attached to it. For the pop server type
in the one SiteGround shows as the incoming server.
In this case is the exact same as our domain name.
Don't forget to change the port to 995
and take the first three boxes before clicking add account. Click yes.
So you could send mail as the newly added account and press next. Choose
a display name and go back to the SiteGround's page to find out your SMTP value.
It's next to the outgoing server.
Select the 465 port and type in your login info once again.
Make sure to select the TLS encryption and at this point you're almost done.
You just have to confirm the connection.
Jump into your new SiteGround email and you'll find the message from Gmail.
Open it and click on the confirmation link, which will take you to a new site
to well, confirmed the confirmation.
Now, if you're composing in your letter, the newly added business
mail will be a selectable option.
Right next to your standard Gmail.
So don't forget to check which one you're using and remember.
This way you can add as many email accounts as you like.
So this covers our whole professional email tutorial.
