Whether for personal or work use, are you still using an email address provided to you by your ISP? An ISP address would be something like ten.tsacmoc@emanruoy. Or, are you using an email address from a free webmail provider like Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail? If so, it is time for you to think about owning your email address.

If you are using an ISP or free webmail email address for personal or work use, you are simply leasing an email address. Should your ISP change names or go out of business, your email address becomes dead and you must send out change of address notices to all your contacts. For businesses that use free webmail email addresses, they look like they don’t take email seriously.

Our philosophy at WebsiteValet.com is to encourge our clients to own their email address. Whether for personal or business use, if you have an email address like moc.emanruoy@uoy, you own that email address. When you own your email address, you will never have to send out change of address notices again. With owning your email address, you do have to choose a “host” for your mailboxes, but you have thousands to choose from. You can change email hosts for whatever reason you want, but the “key” is that you keep your email address because you own it.

For $17.95 a year, plus a one-time $50 setup fee, WebsiteValet.com can help get you set up with an email address that you own and hosted with one of the World’s best email hosting providers, Google. For that price, you get more than ONE e-mail address. You can have up to 50 mailboxes for your company or family.
