In order to have your YOURNAME@YOURWEBSITE.COM you have to purchase a domain name. Assuming you have go daddy host because its the cheapest, here is the process to create an email.

I'm signed up with yahoo small business and get unlimited email addresses with unlimited storage.



To Set Up an Email Account

Log in to your Account Manager.

Click Email.

If you are using a free credit, next to the account you want to use, click Set Up. Select the credit's type and domain name you want to use, and then click Set Up.

Next to the account you want use, click Launch.

If an option to add addresses or view all email plans displays, click View All to display all of your email plans.

Click Add in the plan you want to use. The Create Mailbox window displays.

On the Settings tab, enter or select the following for your new email address:

Email Address

Enter the first part of your new email address and either select a domain registered or hosted with us from the drop down list or enter a domain name that is registered elsewhere.

Set Password

Your password in Workspace Email for this address.

Confirm Password

Confirms the password.

Space for this mailbox

The amount of storage space for this email address.

(Optional) Make this mailbox a catchall

When email is sent to the domain for an address that does not exist, it will automatically be forwarded to this address.

Click OK to complete email address setup.

You can use your hosting control panel to create any email address you want for your domain name.



If your hosting company uses cPanel, log into your account and click the "Email Accounts" icon. In the top portion of the email page, you can create the new account and set a password for it.



Sorry, I don't know how you'd do that if your hosting company doesn't use cPanel.

Godaddy and I think Hostgator are the only one's that offer an @domain.com email address with every domain name...



you're probably with a bootleg domain registration service that doesn;t provide it...



spend the extra money and go with godaddy...they'll take care of you...I've been a customer for years

The domain registrant usually assigns it after you purchase your domain...



registrants such as godaddy and hostgator

I'm not 100% sure but I think you have to buy the domain. I've tried myname@mysurnmae.co.uk before, googled how do to it and think you've gotta buy it! X
