seo,
Funny thing, I now use my GMail account for almost everything. Yet, I still recommend domain-based email to clients, especially if they’re still in the building stages.

Kathie,

I hear you. I suggest everyone uses their domain name for email. As my story tells, you may never know how someone comes to know you because of it.

That’s why I use a spam filter – to filter out the spam. I’ve had my main domain since 1996 – long before spam was a problem. I refused to let every man and his dog make me change using my domain address. I did end up updating it in 2002 to reflect the industry I belong to, but that domain and my original one (asecretary.com.au) are both connected and point to the same webspace.

Kathie,

I feel the same way. I really can’t believe how many people don’t use email addresses from their domain.

The only reason I’ve come across that I agree with is in blogging – making your email address available to everyone on your site. I can see using GMail or another service for filtering. Plus, GMail lets you create accounts that appear as though you’re sending mail from any domain. I know Yahoo! does the same thing – it just costs.

I have to agree with you. I can’t understand why people don’t use their domain names for their email addresses. I certainly do and always have. And when I see other domain addresses I automatically go to my browser to check out their website. I often wonder if I’m different to other people as many don’t seem to understand this. Thanks for the article.
