Website emails?

[snowgoose]

As i now have a domain name for my jewellery sales im wondering if i would also be better off having a website email ( ex, [email protected] ) or whether my personal free email account will be enough for website sales and such?

Thanks

It will look more professional if it's @mywebsite.co.uk

Most websites come with free web email.

Yay. Definitely looks more professional.

If nothing else, set up a domain forwarder (or 'catch all'), so that [email protected] goes to your personal box - that way you don't have to have fiddly config, but you can start work on breaking down what we are beginning to call the "trust barrier" which exists between potential customers (online) and websites without recognizable brand names.

I'm wary of having a catchall sometimes - the chances for an increase in spam are higher, since anyone could email [email protected] and it will get through somewhere.

Depends how good your spam filter is, I guess

Very true! I have a high quality delete button, though..

I actually get most of my email sent to gmail, because I find it more convenient than any other solution I have to hand - and their spam filter isn't bad at all!
