When creating an email with your own domain in Gmail you can configure email accounts of your own domains hosted in a hosting, so that it works as a mail store when the space in the hosting is limited. Creating and configuring an email with your own domain in Gmail is easy and fast, and in this article we will show you how to achieve it.
Advantages of managing accounts with your own domain in Gmail
There are many advantages, but this time we will highlight four:
- You save space on hosting.
- You can configure up to five email accounts from one or more domains in Gmail.
- It is possible to send and receive emails from accounts of the domains configured from Gmail.
- As it is not installed on any computer, you can access them anywhere from any device. In this way you will always have at your disposal all the information you need.
How to create an email account with your own domain in Gmail
The first thing you should do is open the search engine with the previously created Gmail account. If you don’t have it, take the opportunity to create a Gmail account before continuing. To be able to create the external account you have to go to “Options” and click on Settings / Accounts and import.
You must make two different configurations: one to be able to receive emails from an external server and another to be able to use that new email or domain to send information to your clients or acquaintances, without having the Gmail that comes by default.
To configure the consultation of emails from other accounts , you click on “Add an email account”. It will open a window in which you must enter the email you want to use and press “Next”.
You will see two options; choose to import all mails you have in the server and again press Next . In the window that will open next, you must register the connection data. It is possible to locate them in the hosting.
The next step is to put in the search engine ” Emails”, then click on the option “Email accounts”. In this way you will have access to the information necessary to create new accounts. At the bottom left of the page you will see the accounts that are already created and, within them, you will notice that each one has its own configuration.
If you want to add all the Gmail accounts, you have to go to the settings of each one by doing this same process. In each account you have several options. You must install “Email Clients”. If it is not visible to the naked eye, press the “More” button to locate the option in question. In this section you can use the manual configuration to select:
- Secure SS / TLS Configuration (Recommended)
- Different SSL configuration (Not recommended)
Choose the first option. You will be able to obtain the data related to the incoming server and the mail server.
On the incoming server we find the POP *** data, where Gmail is configured to receive emails. And the mail server that gives us the SMTP *** data, will help us to use our domain from Gmail to send emails.
The first thing you need to enter the POP *** data is to copy the username, password and the mail server. The password is the one you put in your email when you created it; If you don’t remember it, you can always recover your Gmail password easily. Then enter the username and password to obtain the SMTP information ***. To do this you go to ¨Server entry¨. Then you enter the corresponding POP *** data.
You will find it in the data you previously accessed. You will see some extra options that you will have to assess whether you activate them or not. By giving ¨Add account¨ , one will appear with your Gmail domain to receive the emails.
If you want to put “Send message as” (the default email), you will receive a request for a verification code. That code will be sent to the email account you have configured. You just have to enter your Gmail account, locate the confirmation code, copy it and paste it where they request it.
You already saw how easy it is to configure an email with your own domain in Gmail, so don’t wait any longer and go try it. Once you have it, you can put all the tricks to the test to find out if they have already read the email you sent via Gmail.
