How to Setup Free Email Accounts With GoDaddy Domain Name?

GoDaddy is one of the most reputed names in the domain registrar and hosting business. They always excel with their unique gifts to customers while purchasing a domain name or hosting space.

For example, if you buy a domain name from GoDaddy, you will get free business Email credits.

They are currently offering a free email account with 1GB storage space with each domain name you buy.

So you can create one business Email address ( example: admin@yourdomain name) without purchasing additional email accounts from them.



This offer is not limited to new domain names. GoDaddy offers one free email account credit for users purchasing hosting space.

You can easily set up a free business email address with your free GoDaddy email credits.

You should note that once you have used full free email credits in your account, you may need to buy professional/personal email/business credits.



Another point to remember is this offer is seasonal. You should check whether GoDaddy promises extra email credits while purchasing a hosting space or domain name.

This article explains two different methods to create an email account for free with the domain names purchased from GoDaddy. They are:

1. Activate Free Email Credit in GoDaddy Account.
   
   
2. Create Free Email forward using a third-party application.

Let us check how to set up a free business email account with a GoDaddy email credit. The procedure to create a free GoDaddy mail account is listed below.

1. Login to your Godaddy account.
   
   
2. Go to My Account and Click on Email.
   
   
3. Click on Setup button at Free Email Plans.
   
   
   
   
4. Now you need to select the features.
   
   
   
   
5. You must select the following question from the drop-down menu. Which account type, size, and region do you want to use? What's my region?
   
   
   
   It is important to note that you cannot use two regions for two accounts created for a single domain name.
   
   For example, if I create an address admin@corenetworkz.com in Europe, I cannot create another one like info@corenetworkz.com for the US region.
   
   The second one should use the same region selected for the first one.
   
   If I created the free GoDaddy email account admin@corenetworkz.com in the USA region, every email address with the same domain name must use USA as the default email account location.
   
   
   
6. Click on Setup after selecting the region and type of your free account.
   
   
   
   
7. Now you will see a Free email with the domain under email.
   
   Click on the Launch to start creating a free Godaddy email account.
   
   
   
   
8. Click on Create.
   
   
   
   
9. Enter the desired address and other details. Click on create to finish the process.
   
   
   Now you will get the confirmation.
   
   
   

You can log in to your mail account by using the username and password you created. To log in, click on the link below.
