Domain Name & Email Options

Setting up my first site in 20 years and going through the domain name registration. I have an existing site (not Muse) that's running just fine but I'm adding on a new site and hoping to use Muse and possibly Business Catalyst.
My question is probably basic, but since I haven't done this in so long, I need to know what the options are now.
First of all, does it make a difference where I register a new domain name? Anything I should be aware of or look out for? From what I understand so far, it's better to register the name separately rather than together with a hosting company in case you want to move to a different hosting company at some point.
Secondly, do I need to 'add-on' email when registering the domain name, or is that done through the website's hosting company? And/or, how does this work through Muse and Business Catalyst?

Hey Mike,
Good to hear you're getting back into the design game
You actually have a few options here. If you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Adobe will actually host up to 5 webBasic sites for free. So basically, you would just have to purchase the Domain Name from some place like GoDaddy and then you could actually publish to Adobe's servers, and the hosted is included in your monthly subscription. I believe you just have to log into your Business Catalyst Partner Portal and assign a new domain name to the site you created.
However, a few things I want to make clear about the webBasics sites. These are the most basic Business Catalyst site that you can get, hence why they host them for free. This does not include any type of WordPress-esque blog, or E-mail Marketing, or a customer database of any kind. I think that with the webMarketing plan you can get the blog and the email marketing campaigns, but there's extra monthly costs.
webBasics is great if you are creating a static site that's not going to change very often, like for an Air Conditioning company or something, or even a portfolio that you might just add to every once in a while. Just don't want you to expect a WordPress-type blog, because that's not what these are.
Strangely enough, Muse and Business Catalyst are only loosely related at this point in time (supposed to change in the future). It is possible to integrate, say, a webMarketing site with Adobe Muse, which I have done in the past, but it's not "easy", relative to Muse. You have to know some CSS/HTML/a little PHP to get it to work.
Lastly, when you get your domain name, be sure to check out a site like RetailMeNot.com for any coupon codes. I got my domain for $1.99.
Hope this helps!

Using a domain name email address with BT broadban...

We've just moved over to BT broadband after 17 years with Demon. I have three email addresses - [email protected] and name at mydomainname.co.uk etc - which I have now pointed to my new btinternet.com address, but after three days of chasing my own tail none of my email is arriving in my BT mailbox.
Our domain names are hosted by Freeparking. We don't have mailboxes there. The mail has previously been forwarded to our Demon account successfully - different domain names frowarding to different underlying demon addresses.
Freeparking indicates that it takes about ten minutes to propagate the forwarding change, so after three days i think I can say that I've given it every opportunity. I don't think the problem is with Freeparking's forwarding. I think it's with BT.
Now, the thing is, besides my three addresses which are not forwarding successfully, there's another domain name address (belonging to my husband) which IS forwarding successfully from Freeparking to BT, but this just happens to be the address we gave to BT as a contact email prior to the changeover from Demon.
My husband thinks this all may be something to do with grey-listing and that the reason the three domain names are not being accepted at BT is something to do with the fact that the addresses have not been verified as legitimate. Unfortunately it seems that the only way they can be verified as a legitimate address is by receiving and returning a verification mail from BT. Which is where our circular logic finally disappears up its own tail-feathers. We can't receive and respond because BT is not accepting the forwarded mail and we have no other method of accessing it.
Help, please.
It looks like we are losing all mail currently sent to those addresses - some of which may be significant business mail that we can't afford to lose.
I really don't want to have to change all my various email addresses (one personal, one business and one hobby-related) to the new BT one. I have 2400 names in my address book. Changing addresses would just add to the nightmare.
I feel particularly p155ed off because one of the questions I asked before moving to BT was whether BT accepted domain name addresses forwarded from Freeparking and was told that it wlouldn't be a problem.
Just as amatter of note, I did call the BT help centre and was told that since my main BT address was working (i.e. receiving and sending direct emails) they had neither the obligation nor the training to solve the domain name problem. Well done BT.
Solved!

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Address verification is not actually needed with respect to forwarding of emails.
Do you have another email address (e.g. hotmail, gmail etc) that you can forward one of the email addresses to ? This can help check it's workiing, despite the other domain working ok.
Forgive me for asking, but can you check that the email you're forwarding to is correctly spelt with numbers, periods etc in the right place - it is easy to make a mistake!
Have you checked the Spam folder in webmail in case all the emails have ended up there ?

Keeping Domain Name Email Address After Hosting With MobileMe

Hi,
I am looking for any advice with regard to my website, which I now host with MobileMe. Prior to the transfer I had a Domain specific email address, which I now can no longer use. I receive the emails, but when it comes to answering, I can only answer as my .Mac account name.
Can anyone help, as my previous Domain holder wants about US$100/year to maintain this facility?
Cheers,

Whether you get e-mails from the type of [email protected] or not depends on your domain registrar.
What you're paying now is also the hosting which is needed to have real mailboxes.
Usually at domain registrars you get MailForwards which means that I send e-mails at [email protected] which forwards e-mails to another address like [email protected] and you can set [email protected] to be forwarded to another e-mail (if you want). So basically MailForwards aren't real e-mails themselves. You can also set *@yourdomain.com so all e-mails sent to no matter which e-mail @yourdomain.com gets sent to [email protected] (no matter what people put in front of the @yourdomain.com).
The problem is that if you set up CNAME for your domain usually E-Mail gets broken. But there’s a trick to avoid that (pointed out to by Earl and originally posted by Seanomich on the Apple Discussion Forums). Mainly that’s it:
1. www.yourdomain.com is different from yourdomain.com
2. Domain registrars handle them as completely different
3. The trick is to set up CNAME for www.yourdomain.com (as of Chapter 2 of this page)
4. For yourdomain.com set up a WebForward instead (as of Chapter 1 of this page) pointing it to www.yourdomain.com
5. Now yourdomain.com is free to be used for e-mails
If your domain registrar doesn't provide this feature (MailForwards without having to pay the hosting) you could manage your domain using ZoneEdit (which is free) and you will get MailForward e-mails.
You will then also be able to send e-mails from [email protected]. All you need to do is write [email protected] in the Preferences of the Mail application where it says E-mail (same on the iPhone). In addition to that if you use a gmail address as real address behind the [email protected] MailForward you will also be able to send e-mails from the web as [email protected] since it allows to apply aliases.
Bottom line: you can have e-mails like you want
If MailForward isn’t enough for you, you probably need a hosting package (other than MobileMe) along with your domain and that's where you have to pay the 100$ a year...

Cédric

Can't setup my domain name email with mail

Mail version 4.5
I have a domain name and an email with that domain ( [email protected] )
I am tring to set it up with mail but it dosen't work.
Any tutorial about this?

You will have to get the server names from your domain name provider - both incoming (POP or IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) and obviously you will need your username and password.
The setup procedure is described here:

Question about Mail app and domain name please help

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this question so figured this would be the best area. I have a website which uses bluehost as it's web hoster. My email is set up through them, such as [email protected]
In my Mail app, I have the POP thing set up so when ever someone emails me it goes right to the Mail app. It works great for my personal computer, but when I go to work and go on other computers is where the problem is.
When I am on a random computer at work, I have to sign onto my webhosting site and then use squirrel mail. It is quite a hastle and is not the best. I would love to use gmail, but still keep my domain name I have.
One co-worker mentioned just forwarding all my [email protected] emails to my new gmail email. There are issue's with doing this because if I'm at work and email someone with gmail it will use that email address. Also, I want to be able to read all my sent messages from any computer including the sent messages that were within my Mail app. Is this possible?
Besides forwarding is there a better solution? It is sort of hard to explain. Basically I want my [email protected] address to be run through gmail, be able to access on any computer, have it be the only address in my mail app, and most importantly have the sent messages from mail app to be able to be read on all computers.
I think gmail lets you make a domain name email, without gmail being included at the end. But I already have the email address made...am I able to just swap it? And keep all my mail inbox info?
What's the best sollution for my problem?
Thanks

You would need to login to your web mail account to reply so that the email came from "[email protected]"
I try to get a gmail address that is close to the domain name like - [email protected] - so that I don't have to bother opening web mail as it is a pain.
I forward to Gmail and then Mac Mail because their spam blocker is the best.
A lot of web mail addresses bounce mail because the capacity is limited and the owners don't go into their control panel to launch their web mail and clear out the old stuff. Lawyers, in particular, are famous for this. For this reason I don't set web mail to keep a copy of the forwarded mail. If my web mail gets full of spam and they start bouncing then its not my problem!

Create account with new domain names

Hi there.
I'm trying to create an account with the new domain names ([email protected]). .works is part of the new domains names available all over in recent months, but in the sign up form it says the email is invalid when it's working perfectly and it's totally valid.
I've tryed to contact support without sucess. do you have any idea how I can register an account with my [email protected] ?
Best regards,

Hi, Cesarcouto.com, and welcome to the Community,
Thank you for your report, which I have forwarded to those to whom I report. Unfortunately, I do not know when this as well as many of the new domains will be recognized by Skype's new account creation system as valid.

Domain name in email header

Please forgive me for this very basic query. I hopeless and I cannot find the answer in previous posts, probably because I'm searching for the wrong words, but can anyone help?:
Recently, I changed my domain name from ADomain.co.uk to BDomain.co.uk. All seems well but look at the attached header. There is still a reference to ADomain.co.uk! So, what have I done wrong? I've been searching around the server options and configuration files but I just can't find out where I have set this?
Many thanks.

Your Mailsserver still thinks its name is simon.ADomain.co.uk.
This may be due to the system wide hostname ( see +man hostname+ ) or the myhostname setting in
postfix's main.cf.
Check for the first with the hostname command.
Check for the second using +postconf -n | grep ADomain+

Problem with email after signing up for a verizon domain name

I am really frustrated and need some assistance. On 7/5/14 we signed up and purchased a domain name to keep our email addresses. We moved from FL to Co and had our services cancelled (phone and internet services) on 8/13/14 (was supposed occurr on 8/5). Now our account is suspended (accessing our email thru verizon.com). After spending over 2 hours on the telephone with no help.
We never recieved instructions on how to access our email accounts(4 have four accounts) and it is currently "Suspended" (per verizon Techs)
How do we get this resolved and who can we contact via phone to get this resolved?
Also, we were billed twice ($19.95)

Setting REPLY_TO: to my domain name, not my email service

I have a persoalized domain name. I'd like my [email protected] address to be in the FROM field on email I send from my iPad/iPhone.
Right now it the email address from my mail server accout with my Internet Service Provider.
I don't see how to change this in iPhone/iPad Mail. Usually, a regular mail client give the option to change the REPLY_TO: string for this. Any body know how to do this?

I guess, you have resolved the issue on your end.

Sending mail from my personal email domain name.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Macs and OSX and can't work out how to configure my mail properly. My mail works fine with my [email protected] email address, connecting to my mac mail and happily sends and receives messages.
I also have my own domain name which I have configured to forward all email to it to my user@mac .com. So far so good, but how can I have the ability to send email from my personal email domain and send it through the mac mail. My domain doesn't have it's own mail server etc.. it just forwards mail.
I would like to be able to have the option to send mail either from my [email protected] or my [email protected]
Hope this makes sense and many thanks in advance.

How to add additional email using second domain name?

BC is currently hosting wa-cs.com and we are using email address pointing to that domain. We added wolfeassociates.com domain name to the site and now want to setup emails with that domain name in addition to the wa-cs.com. This should be simple but the option to setup does not appear available.
Is there a solution? Thanks, Greg

Hi Greg,
When you create an email account on the main domain, and alias will automatically be created on the second domain as well. So, when you create [email protected], the system will automatically create an [email protected]
Email sent to either of the two addresses will end up in the same inbox.

Hope that someone can help me please.
I have my own unique registered domain name.
Currently I am using the gmail server to transmit and receive email - I am using Mail on a MacBook, and an iPhone. Works just fine.
However, I was wondering if the iCloud can be set up to also provide this same function?
If so how do we achieve this?

Domain name in Email ID?

Hello
In my_form i have couple of email ID populating fields, i placed the adobe's email object text feilds, hence am getting a validation error popup, if user do not put either @ or a period, fine
But, as this is used with in company and user always specifies company employee's official ID, hence i want to put a validation for DOMAIN NAME.
The company's domain names looks like "domain1" or "domain2", email IDs looks like [email protected] or [email protected]
User is SUPPOSE to enter ONLY either domain1 or domain2, if not, i need to alert!! (not like gmail, Yahooh email ID)
1) Pls. let me know, is there in built feature (like Validation Pattern)?
2) Any ready-made function? if so, pls. code snippet
3) If not, pls. provide code snippet
I am looking in JavaScript
Thank you

Validation Pattern should work. Something like this: text{O'@domain1.com'}|text{O'@domain2.com'}
You can also use regular expression.
