How to sign up for a domain email package
A domain email is the web address that appears after the @ symbol in your email address. E.g: myname@mybusinessdomain.com
Having a domain email address is one of the first steps to help create a professional online presence and make it easy for people to contact you. A domain email address makes it easy for clients to remember you and gives your company credibility.
When you sign up for a shared hosting package, it includes email accounts and a FREE domain name.
