How to Get a Professional Email Address for Free

How to Get a Professional Email Address for Free

Create email address at zero cost using Google Free Business Mail service

A friend presented a challenge before me. He wanted an official email id to attach to his already existing dot com address. He had the choice of buying email space from his registrar where he booked his dot com address, but did not like the interface or the limited functionality it provided. His dilemma stumped me, as I myself haven't used services other than the known free email services that most of us use.

Luckily for my friend and us; the lovely and generous company Google has a service called Google Business Mail Standard Edition which basically lets you attach its own Gmail service (with all the 7GB) to your dot com for free.

Please Note:- dot com is used loosely as a general reference to all Top Level Domains e.g. dot net, dot org, dot in, etc.

Do you agree with this aritcle?

I have been using google apps for over a year. Yes its free but you still have to own a domain. I would not use any of the free domains that are given. I have heard many are blacklisted as spammers.

Please do not spread wront information. This service is for "non-profit" community and for social causes. When you say business it is "for profit". You have to pay for business emails.
