I have seen many blogs using email accounts from Gmail, Yahoo etc. I told some of my friends that we can create a free email account with your domain name, they started asking me how? I helped many of them from team viewer but now I decided to write about how to create a free email account with your domain name. Actually, we will create a free email account with your domain name and then we have to root it to one of the mailing services. In this article, i’m writing about how to create a free email account with your domain name and link it to your original Gmail account. In short, you will use an email account like yourname@yourdomain.com
Use of Email account with your domain name
- One think I can say about it, an email account with your domain name makes your site looks professional while promoting your website
- Whenever you mailed someone with that email address, they feel you are the owner of the site. Most of the webmaster check the email address whenever they got a mail regarding advertising or for any other offers, if that email address is not with your domain name, most of them including me thinks that mail was SPAM and simply trash it
- Full control in our hands
How does it work?
Working principle is quite simple. Before knowing about how it works, you should know about email forwarding.
Email forwarding is nothing but all emails you are receiving to your account can be simply forwarded to another email account.
Now, you will create a new email account (in my case amar@geekdashboard.com) and link it to your present Gmail account (like geekdashboard@gmail.com) From now you have to give your new email (amar@geekdashboard.com) to everyone. Whenever someone sends an email to amar@geekdashboard.com, you are able to see that email in geekdashboard@gmail.com Simple logic
When ever you send an email from Gmail account (geekdashboard@gmail.com) to others, they will see your email address as new address (amar@geekdashboard.com)

Hi
You also need a web server (which offers cPanel) to configure your email address. If you don’t have a web server, you can use either GSuite (Paid and Recommended) https://www.geekdashboard.com/go/gsuite or Zoho (Free) https://www.zoho.com

Good tips as cPanel based emails often goes to spam folder when I send an email to anyone. I miss the old days when Google Apps used to allow free emails for domains.

Bro. This tut needs a small change. First you need to add your official email (admin@bla.com) to your Gmail. After that it will send you a conformation mail. If you first forward the mail to your Gmail. Then you won’t get a conformation mail. [That’s my experience )
