Posted by admin in How to Transfer Your Domain & Set-Up Email at GoDaddy
This article explains the set-up procedures for email.
The Marketing Shop.com does not handle direct POP of email. If you wish to have an email address with your domain name, such as julie@thisismydomainname.com, you must either set-up your own in-house Exchange Server, or set-up your Email POP with a third party such as GoDaddy. We work well with GoDaddy and recommend them for email hosting. The Marketing Shop.com will continue to host your website, and GoDaddy will handle your email. You do not need this service if you already have an email address. We provide Email Forwarding only.
Please Note: Domain registration is different from domain hosting. You will most likely have a different company managing the registration of your domain than the one who does your hosting, though not always.
Getting Control of Your Domain Name
You need to get control of your domain registration. You need to have it transferred
somewhere that you know so you can know where it is at all times. These things can
be sold (kinda like your home mortgage). We recommend making sure that your domain is registered at GoDaddy .
