What's So Wrong With ISP E-mail?

Why No Business Should Use Free E-mail Accounts

Did you know you can own a domain name for your business and receive e-mail to, for instance, info@yourbusinessname.com.au without even having a web site? It's called e-mail hosting.

However, there are many businesses, particularly smaill to medium enterprises, that use e-mail accounts provided by their Internet Service Provider (ISP) or free webmail providers.

These may look like 'joesplumbing@bigpond.com.au' or 'cleaningco@gmail.com'.

However, if you're using ISP or free webmail, you need to ask yourself a question - 'do I want my business to look professional or not?'

An e-mail address at your own domain name reassures potential clients that your business is properly constituted, a reliable company with owners invested in success and doing things right by their customers.

Unfortunately, ISP and free webmail accounts hint at 'fly-by-night' or, at the very least, a business that doesn't care enough. It's like turning up for work in shabby clothing.

Furthermore, an e-mail address at your own domain name advertises your business every time you send an e-mail. Sending work communications from you@bigpond.com.au or you@yahoo.com advertises BigPond and Yahoo. Why would you?
