How do I get a professional email address?

In business, each employee must have a professional email address. To strengthen your professional credibility, your e-mail address must include the domain name and the name of your company. So what are the steps to get a professional email address?

Choice of a domain name extension and registration of a domain name

Before creating a professional email address, you must register a domain name with the extension of your choice (.com or .net, for example). After paying the registration fee, you can use your domain name to set up a website and create multiple email addresses for yourself or other employees. It's very easy to register a domain name. Just contact a registrar like 1 & 1 or Amen. The domain name should naturally be chosen with care, because it then represents the face of your internet business.

Checking the availability of the domain name

Once the name and extension have been selected, you must check the availability of the domain name. In other words, the domain name should not already be registered.

Verisign has managed for three years the most recognized extensions in the world - ".com", ".net" and ".tv". These extensions allow individuals and businesses to transact online with confidence. Verisign also offers its customers a service that allows them to check the availability of a domain name. If the desired domain name is already registered, this service suggests alternatives. If the desired domain name is available, all you have to do is register it with a registrar like 1 & 1 or Amen. When registering your domain name for the first time, it will cost you a few euros which you will need to pay at the registrar. You will then be billed for the renewal each year.

Obtaining a professional email address

Once your domain name is registered, you can easily create one or more professional email addresses. Generally, the registrar where you register your domain name asks you to create an account so that you can create your email address in a few clicks in their interface. Follow the instructions in the interface to manage your email address in the service provider's webmail application. Depending on the registrar, this application allows you to manage one or more addresses. To manage several addresses, prefer the paid formulas from your supplier, these formulas generally being accompanied by additional functionalities.

To get your own domain name, just follow these few steps. Once in possession of your domain name, you can create a professional email address to correspond with all your customers, service providers and other suppliers.
