November 9, 201015 yr Hello What is the best way to get a domain name and personalised e-mails for somebody else ? Somebody I know, who doesn’t really know too much about the internet has asked if I could organize the purchase of a couple of domain names and set up a couple of email accounts for each name, such as Domain www.theirnewdomainname.co.uk Emails enquiries@theirnewdomain.co.uk info@theirnewdomain.co.uk Is there a charge to transfer domains to somebody else ? Must you take out a hosting package before you are able to set up personalized e-mails ? One company I know charges only £17 / year for a basic hosting package, so coupled with about £6 for a 2-year ‘.co.uk’ domain that’s not too expensive. Access to the email accounts would be via Squirrel web mail. But, I was just wondering if there is a better way to do this ? Is it a straightforward process to forward web-mail messages to a POP account, such as Outlook. Personally, a web mail system is OK, but perhaps for a person without too much experience, a POP3 account would be easier thanks for any advice
