How to Create Business Email & Use it with Gmail for Free

In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to create a business email, something like this: [email protected] for free. I’ll also show you how to use your business email with Gmail ([email protected]). This means that you’ll be able to send and receive emails using your Gmail account all for free. 

This tutorial will also save you the headache of having to always log in to your webmail account to write or check for new emails.

Having all your emails coming straight to your Gmail account makes it easy and convenient for you to have all your emails in one place. 

Note: the digits in brackets e.g. (00:02) indicate the minutes of that exact explanation in the video so you can easily jump to that section and follow along.

Log into your Webmail Account and Create an Email

First of all, you need to have access to your Webmail account/business email, if you don’t, contact your email/web host provider. If you have access to your Cpanel just go to the Email Accounts option (01:08).

If you already have an email account you can just select it from the list of accounts. But for this case let’s create a new account. 

Click on the +CREATE option and enter the details of your account, that is the name and password, make sure the Send a welcome email with instructions to set up a mail client option is checked, then press the create button (01:32).

When your new email opens up under email accounts, click the check email option then open it up with RoundCube (01:53)

Another way to access the email is to go to the website where the email is created, in this case, go-tuts.com/webmail, enter the email and password, and login (02:27).

Back to the email in RoundCube, when you open it up, it contains information that you need to use in Gmail to be able to receive the emails sent to this email, via Gmail, as well as respond to them. 

If you didn’t receive these details you need to contact the person who set it up or your web hosting provider to send you these details (03:27).

If you have access to your CPanel but didn’t receive the details, you can just go to that email and check under CONNECT DEVICES > Mail Client Manual Settings.
