First, what do we mean by having an email address associated with your holiday let website domain name?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say your website domain name is seabreeze.com<\/strong>, your email address would be associated with that domain name i.e. ending with the same domain name.<\/p>\n

For example, enquiries@seabreeze.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

But you may be wondering, what\u2019s the benefit of using this type of email address over a free email address from Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo?<\/p>\n

The main reason \u2026 it projects a more professional image.<\/em><\/p>\n

Remember your holiday rental is a business<\/em>, and if you want to secure as many bookings as possible you need your business to look professional.<\/p>\n

Even if it\u2019s the kind of business that\u2019s more of a hobby to bring in a bit of extra income, or simply to cover the cost of the property purchase.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still a business.<\/em><\/p>\n

And when it comes to business, professionalism matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Which is why having a professional email address is essential.<\/p>\n

It suggests to the world, that you are taking your business seriously and<\/em> it helps establish trust.<\/p>\n

Who would you feel more confident doing business with?<\/p>\n

An email response from this account:<\/p>\n

seabreeze@hotmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

or this one:<\/p>\n

enquiries@seabreeze.com<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know which I\u2019d choose.<\/p>\n

So with that in mind, how do you go about getting an email address that\u2019s tied in with your holiday let website\u2019s domain name?<\/p>\n

There a few different options with varying costs. Let\u2019s start with the simplest \u2026<\/p>\n

1) Purchasing a mailbox through your domain name provider<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assuming you\u2019ve already purchased a domain name, you can easily add a mailbox option. This is often a low cost option.<\/p>\n

To give you an idea, for those of you with domain names purchased through 123-Reg<\/a>, an individual mailbox will cost \u00a32.99 per month.<\/p>\n

With Namecheap<\/a>, a mailbox comes in at just \u00a36.78 per year.<\/p>\n

Provider costs may vary due to the amount of storage they offer, so be sure to double check what you\u2019re getting for that monthly or annual cost.<\/p>\n

But just remember, unless you\u2019re expecting to receive large files from potential guests \u2013 and let\u2019s face it, why would you \u2013 then a 3GB, 4GB or 5GB mailbox storage size should be perfectly fine for your needs.<\/p>\n

And<\/em> there are some domain providers out there offering mailboxes for free.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s worth investigating with yours first, even if you decide not to go down this route.<\/p>\n

2) Google Apps for Work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another popular option is Google Apps for Work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The great thing about this is you get a ton of additional features along with your mailbox.<\/p>\n
