How to I turn my domain name into an active email address?

Question

I registerd a domain name with 123-reg and now I need to make it an email account but have been unable to via them. They haven't replyed to my enquiry. So on my own, how do I get it as another email address from my home pc?

Answer 1

You can do it with 123-reg. Here is how.

Log in to your 123 reg control panel and select your domain from the drop down box.

Click the modify domain button next to it.

Then click 'email forwarding'

And then it is self explanatory, you can forward any email to another email address - like hotmail, yahoo, btinternet etc...

If you use outlook to download your emails forward the email from your new domain to your old one.

If you want to use outlook to download emails, you will need a pop 3 account - you can buy one from them for £10/year

Hope this helps

Answer 2

You need to have a webhost. The webhost keeps your webserver and email addresses. I have http://www.powweb.com as my host and it is only $5 a month and you get email and all of that. Domain registrars just register the domain, and if you are lucky host some page saying your site is under construction or whatever. Yahoo does hosting too.

Answer 3

Your server host of the website should be able to supply you with an email account for the website - I wouldn't advise using your personal email address.

You could use Bravenet's Email Form and paste it into your web page :-
