Free Business Email Address: How To Set It Up

Articles

Sending an email to a client or potential customer is one of the easiest ways to show your professionalism and overall branding.

Although it's easy and free to setup an email with Gmail or Yahoo, you look far less credible. That's why a free business email address is required.

For example, a business email address looks something like this:

[email protected]

Therefore, people see that you're a legitimate company, and they can even view where your official website is located. Not only that, but Gmail, Hotmail and other free accounts often get sent to the spam box if you're using them for an email marketing service like MailChimp.

Online Backup: The Best Cloud Backup Services

Articles

After an extensive review spread over many weeks, we feel that CrashPlan is the best online backup service at the moment as it has the strongest all-around tool-set compared to all other cloud backup services. After that, we have Backblaze, then followed by the ever so sleek and minimal Carbonite service. But that begs the question: What is a cloud backup service and who is it for? Before delving into all of the details, it would be prudent to understand how an average cloud backup affects your life or your company.
