How to Create a Custom Professional Email Address for Your Blog Domain

One of the benefits of having your own domain name for your blog is that you can set up a custom email address with your domain name. So if your domain is “PatsBlog.com”, you can create an address like pat@patsblog.com or info@patsblog.com. This is a great professional email address for all bloggers, but especially those looking for a business email address to offer clients.

If you used the process I outlined in Step 2 to set up your blog, you can create personalized email addresses at no additional cost. Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the Bluehost homepage and click on the “Login” tab at the top right.

2. Enter your details to login to your cPanel Bluehost.

• Remember that the password for your Bluehost account may be different from the password for your WordPress blog.
• If you don’t remember your password, you can always use the “forgot password” link on this page to reset your password.

3. Once you are logged in, click the “Advanced” tab in the left sidebar.

4. Scroll down and click “Email Accounts”

5. Click the blue “+CREATE” button on the right.

6. Enter the details for your new email account and click the “+CREATE” button at the bottom of the page.

• 100 MB of storage is enough to get started and should last for a while unless you receive a lot of emails with large attachments.

7. Now that your account has been created, you can log in to get started.

• The easiest way to do that is to go back to the Bluehost homepage. Simply click on the login tab in the top right, then select the “webmail login” option.

If you want to be more technically adventurous, you can also check out the “forwarding” and “autoresponder” sections in Bluehost’s email manager. These are very useful tools that I will cover in a future blog post.
