Overview
Your email address says a lot about you, and how 'control' you have over your online identity/presence. If you don't believe us, you can ask The Oatmeal.
You should be sending and receiving emails from your domain address, not a free gmail account.
Selecting Your Email Address
It's sometimes tricky to pick your actual email address if your domain happens to include your full name. If you have a domain that is something like firstnamelastname.com, popular email addresses are:
- firstname@firstnamelastname.com
- hello@firstnamelastname.com
- studio@firstnamelastname.com
- info@firstnamelastname.com
Additionally, most email hosting providers allow each user to have an endless number of 'nicknames' so you could technically receive email via all of the above options.
Once you have your real domain email address established, you can forward your other email accounts there. This way you have one email account, you get ALL your email and gracefully, over time, all your contacts will switch to your new email address.
