Your business cards look professional and your website looks professional, so why are so many businesses these days still using a public email address? Receiving an email from a public email address like Gmail, Hotmail and many other public email accounts from a company seems very unprofessional and a bit amateurish, you may even risk losing potential customers just by giving them your card with your public email address on it.

So why go to all the effort to set up the above only to be scammed for something as simple as an email address? allows you to have an unlimited number of email addresses that specifically use your own domain name, also known as “Non-Specific Email Address”.

While the appearance of an email address should never be a problem, and most of the time it will go unnoticed, but if it is something globally known like Hotmail, Gmail and others, those popular words are instantly noticeable on your business card, website etc., for somewhat unknown reasons, this could deter potential business prospects.

If you’re one of the unsuspecting victims who has succumbed to this “unintentional mishap”, getting a non-specific email address could be as simple as calling your IT guy and asking him to set up one for you or as many as he sees fit. However, this process can be easily learned by looking at the cPanel provided by your web host under “Email Accounts”. If your web host does not use cPanel, it is likely that they use some other third party software with less capabilities, it is highly recommended that you change hosts as I would imagine you would lose a lot of functionality and control over your website.

You can easily find cheap web hosting just by using Google to search for that same term “cheap accommodation”. From there, it’s just finding the one that best suits you. Be aware of reseller accounts, as they naturally charge more than it’s actually worth to generate revenue, shop around before choosing to shop with your web host.

It is important that you present your business as professionally as possible, no matter what it is.
