That is, until I understood I could have both! I'd heard that it was conceivable to utilize Gmail with a custom space name, however dependably put off figuring out how to do it since I anticipated that it should be troublesome and tedious. Fortunately, it was neither of those things, and I could make two expert, custom space email addresses (hello@melyssagriffin.com + design@melyssagriffin.com) inside minutes.
WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE GMAIL WITH YOUR CUSTOM DOMAIN:
Having a custom space email address influences you to seem progressively proficient. I used to utilize "melyssagriffin@gmail.com," which gets the point over, however doesn't execute a similar dimension of polished skill that an email address marked with just my blog name does. That is to say, you're advancing your business/blog, not Gmail's.
Let's be honest, a large portion of the email programming included with your webhost sucks. It's difficult to explore, hard to compose, and seems to have been worked during the 90s. Actually, it made browsing my email inbox much to a greater degree a task.
Gmail is somewhat wonderful. I am most likely one-sided, yet I've attempted a few other email suppliers and dependably return to Gmail. I value its perfect interface and the manner in which it's composed. I likewise love that I can utilize Google Drive, which truly helps when working with customers.
You can be signed into numerous records without a moment's delay. Preceding my new email addresses, I must be signed into one Gmail account at once. It was somewhat of a problem when I expected to log out of, state, my website composition business' Gmail record and sign into my blog Gmail account. Presently, I can be signed into both without a moment's delay.

HERE'S HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM DOMAIN EMAIL ADDRESS WITH GMAIL:
Buy a custom space name. I buy the majority of mine from GoDaddy.com.
Visit the Google Apps site here.
Snap "Begin Free Trial" and afterward enter your essential data in the means that follow so as to make your record.
You'll have the choice to set up your record the "Express" or "Custom" way. I suggest Express — it's extremely snappy!
Presently you have to "confirm" your space name. The most straightforward path as I would like to think, is to "embed a HTML tag into your site's landing page" — less demanding than it sounds, guarantee. 🙂 To do this, you have to duplicate a given code into your site's <head> segment. Numerous WordPress topics, for example, Headway and Genesis, have a space for this (in Headway, it's under Headway>>Options >>Scripts/Analytics>>Header Scripts). On the off chance that you can't think that its, at that point there's a module you can introduce here that will give a simple to-alter <head> segment. At that point, simply duplicate the code that Google gives in that segment.
Snap "confirm."
When you're set, login to your Google Apps record and snap "Clients." There, you'll see the choice to include new clients (for example custom email addresses!). Including new clients is $5 per client, every month or $50 for the year. This is absolutely justified, despite all the trouble to me!
That is it! You're finished! Cheer!
