One of the key benefits of having your own domain for your blog is the ability to set up a custom email address that matches your domain. For example, if your domain is "PatsBlog.com," you can create professional email addresses like pat@patsblog.com or info@patsblog.com. This gives your blog a more professional appearance, especially if you’re seeking a business email address for client communications.
If you followed the steps outlined in Step 2 to set up your blog, you can create personalized email addresses at no extra cost. Here’s how:
1. Go to the BlueHost homepage and click the “Login” tab at the top right.
2. Enter your login details to access your BlueHost cPanel.
- Remember that your BlueHost account password may differ from your WordPress blog password.
- If needed, use the “forgot password” link on this page to reset your password.
3. Once you are logged-in click the “Advanced” tab in the left sidebar.
4. Scroll down and click “Email Accounts”
5. Click the blue “+CREATE” button on the right.
6. Enter the details for your new email account and click the “+CREATE” button at the bottom of the page
100MB storage space is enough to start, and will last you awhile unless you are getting lots of emails with large attachments.
7. Now that your account is created you can login to start using it.
The easiest way to do that is to go back to the BlueHost homepage. Just click the login tab at the top right, and then choose the “webmail login” option.
If you are feeling more technically adventurous, you can also checkout the “forwarding” and “autoresponders” sections in the BlueHost email manager. These are very useful tools that I will go over in a future blog post.
