What is Email Forwarding?
You can register a domain name and without paying for hosting, have the registrar forward emails to another email box.
E.g. mail to you@yourname.com can be forwarded by the registrar to you@yourISP.com or to you@yourbusiness.com.
However, if you have hosting for www.yourbusiness.com, then you can park the domain yourname.com on yourbusiness.com and setup an email account for you@yourname.com on your own hosting.
Email Forwarding is available from all domain name registrars, at various fees. We can setup email forwarding free.
The disadvantage of email forwarding is that your reply to forwarded emails will be seen to come from your email account.
e.g. An email to sales@yourbusiness.com is forwarded to you@hotmail.com. When you reply to that email, your customer receives an email from you@hotmail.com instead of from the address that they emailed.
In the long run it's more effective and cheaper to pay 50 cents a week for hosting an email account under your domain name.
