Spending only few bucks today, you can easily establish your presence on the Internet and start your business. Of course, you should remember a basic but important lesson that you will only have what you have paid for. A serious business needs “pro” fundamental factors which will surely let you run out of investment quickly however. So, you should take advantage of free but reliable services to economize your expense.
Why few dollars can help you build a successful business? In this case, I mean you can build a blog/portal or even a sale page and a branded email system with no cost.

Email for domain is really important today since each time you send a message to a customer or partner, you will also advertise your brand/website.

Do you remember one of my advise for those who want to apply a Google AdSense account that he/she should use a customized domain email address to register, the change to be successful will be more.
Most webmasters prefer Google App to Hotmail in this case. But why don’t you give Windows Live an opportunity? I am sure Windows Live for domain is wonderful and honestly I think it is no longer behind Google App. Windows Live allows you create total 500 email address and support range of other userful services such as online editing tools, share files, photos, archive data, instant message and more. You can apply here.

Google App or Hotmail for Domain?
Today, you can choose one among many free email for domain services. However Google App and Hotmail (or Windows Live) are the best choice. If you need less than 50 email addresses, I recommend Google App service. You can apply here. If you apply for a Google App account with free package, you can only create less than 15 email addresses. The link I mention you will be redirected you to Google App offer for Education organization.Most webmasters prefer Google App to Hotmail in this case.

Configure Hotmail for Domain with Sitelutions
You can use the default DNS service within your domain ‘s control panel to “connect” your domain with Google App or Windows Live Mail. Almost registrars including Register, NameCheap, Godaddy and others provide their own control panels to manage domain. However, I choose a separate DSN service for more option while managing my domain. EveryDNS is no longer available, Zoneedit is only free for 2 domains, so I recommend Sitelutions, a long time free and reliable DNS services to manage your domain with more choice.STEP 1: Register an account at Sitelusions here.
