📝 Step 1: Get a Domain Name#
To create a custom email address, you need your own domain name (e.g., mybusiness.com).
- Pick something short, relevant, and easy to spell
- Avoid numbers or complicated words
- You can register a domain directly through Hostinger during sign-up
👉 Example: support@mybusiness.com
💻 Step 2: Sign Up for Hosting#
Your professional email is hosted on the same platform as your website.
- Go to Hostinger
- Choose a hosting plan (Business hosting is recommended if you want multiple email accounts)
- Register your domain name or connect one you already own
- Complete checkout ✅
💡 Pro tip: Use my referral link to get 20% off.
📬 Step 3: Set Up Your Email Account#
Now that you have hosting + a domain, it’s time to create your email.
- Log in to your Hostinger account
- Go to hPanel → click Email Accounts
- Choose your domain name
- Create your email (e.g.,
info@mybusiness.com) and set a strong password
That’s it! You’ve created your first professional email address.
📱 Step 4: Access Your Email#
You can access your new email in two ways:
- Webmail (browser): Just log in via Hostinger’s webmail
- Email apps (Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail): Add your new account using IMAP/SMTP settings provided in Hostinger
This way, you can read and reply to emails just like you would with Gmail, but using your professional address.
