Thanks

you need to register a domain name first or have you already got one?

In my experience customers are more likely to use a personal looking email address than a generic looking company one.

I guess they feel like they are getting through to a real person with a name than just some obscure business address ?

Just my thoughts  :P

Barbara,

One of my colleagues does exactly this for people who, like yourself want a more professional image.

His name is Michael Peacock, you can contact him at hello@peacockcarter.co.uk or on 0191 423 6208.

He does a lot more besides and has written a good few books on various web subjects.

I agree Steve. It is just as easy to set up yourname@yourdomainname.co.uk

Barbara,

You've mentioned a site on here before. If you have, it's a one minute job to set up more or less any e mail address you want.

Less us know and someone here will soon sort you out.

mine -710services.co.uk- cost less than £6 for two years and am still figuring how they make their money. There must be a catch but I can't figure it out.

Even better Steve@TheCleaningDoctor.org.uk  << I think that looks more professional and friendlier than for example liverpoolfc1890@yahoo.co.uk
