过去，AOL有一项很酷的服务，可让您免费创建自定义域电子邮件地址(custom domain email address)，并且您可以使用任何您想要的域名(domain name)，即使它已经注册。我不知道它是如何工作的，但过了一会儿它就消失了，我明白为什么！
您仍然可以创建个性化的电子邮件地址(email address)，但不付费是不可能的。原因是您需要先购买一个域名(domain name)才能为该域设置电子邮件。因此，为了获得个性化的域电子邮件地址(domain email address)，您首先必须注册一个域。这也意味着您的“个性化”电子邮件地址(email address)是有限的。如果一个域已经注册，您将无法购买它，因此将无法通过该域名(domain name)发送电子邮件。
当然，如果您真的想从任何电子邮件地址(email address)发送电子邮件，您可以创建自己的电子邮件服务器(email server)并发送虚假电子邮件，但是您将成为经过认证的黑客/垃圾邮件发送者，我们不会教任何类似的东西在本文中。
因此，让我们将过程分解为多个部分，希望您能找到您正在寻找的域。如果您想为婚礼或(wedding or something)类似的事情发送电子邮件，并且想要创建一个自定义电子邮件，如邀请@jackandkelly.com 或 [email protected]，您可能会得到您想要的。如果您希望从 [email protected] 发送电子邮件，那么您将不走运，因为 love.com 肯定已经注册。
查找域
首先，让我们寻找一个可用的域。请记住(Remember)，电子邮件(email doesn)也不必总是以 .COM 结尾。最近，一系列新的顶级域名被开放，这意味着您可以拥有一个以.fitness 或 .investments(.fitness or .investments)或 .photography 等结尾的域名。
我最喜欢用来搜索域名的网站是NameCheap.com。它可以让您搜索关键字，然后为您提供您可以想象的该关键字的所有选项。
点击搜索(Click Search)，您会在顶部看到四个标签：热门(Popular)、新品(New)、国际和收藏夹(International and Favorites)。在下面的示例中，我搜索 jackandkate 以查看可用的内容。不幸的是，jackandkate.com 和 .net(jackandkate.com and .net)不可用，但 .rocks 和 .me 等其他域名可用！jackandkate.rocks 实际上听起来很酷。如果你要发送一封电子邮件，它会是像[email protected] 这样的东西。@ 符号之前的部分可以是任何你想要的。
您可以向下滚动并单击查看其他选项(See other options)链接以查看该域名(domain name)的其他可用选项。此外，其中一些名称旁边有一个小闪电图标，如果您将鼠标悬停在它上面，它会告诉您该域名(domain name)的限制。例如，如果您想要 jackandkate.ca，您需要拥有加拿大居住地才能获得它。
如果这些都不符合您的喜好，请单击“新建”(New)选项卡，它会向您显示所有新顶级域的可用选项。您会立即注意到这些也比传统的要贵得多。
一旦你找到一个你满意的域名，购买它，然后阅读下一部分，这将向你展示如何使用NameCheap设置你的电子邮件。实际上，在从NameCheap(NameCheap)购买域名之前，请阅读以下部分，因为您可以在结帐时添加 2 个月的免费电子邮件托管(email hosting)。
设置电子邮件托管
当您购买域名时，您会看到在NameCheap上添加(NameCheap)电子邮件托管(email hosting)的选项，而我真正喜欢的是它可以免费使用 2 个月！对于大多数人来说，在发送邀请等时，您可能只需要几个星期的电子邮件地址(email address)。如果您需要更长时间，它是非常便宜的电子邮件托管(email hosting)。
继续并单击免费私人电子邮件的添加到购物车按钮，它将带您进入另一个页面，您可以在其中选择您想要的电子邮件地址(email address)。默认情况下，它会免费为您提供一个以 [email protected] 开头的电子邮件地址。(email address)但是，您可以取消选中它并选中底部的自定义空白框，这将成为您的免费空白框。(custom blank box)如果您想要多个具有该域的自定义电子邮件地址，则每个(custom email address)电子邮件地址(email address)的费用为 0.25 美元。
现在只需完成结帐流程(checkout process)，在此期间您必须创建一个帐户。完成后，单击“管理帐户”按钮(Manage Account button)或返回主页并单击“(homepage and click) 登录(Sign)”。登录后，转到仪表板(Dashboard)，您会看到一大堆链接。您要单击的是Open-Xchange Email domain( Open-Xchange Email domains)。
现在您将看到列出的域名(domain name)，您必须单击它。如果您购买了多个域，则必须选择要为其管理电子邮件的域。
现在为了设置您的电子邮件(email setup)，您首先必须创建邮箱。我认为它会自行完成，因为我输入了我想要的自定义域名(custom domain name)，但显然你必须手动完成。继续并单击设置新邮箱(Setup New Mailbox)按钮。
输入您想要的电子邮件地址(email address)的本地部分，然后为您的邮箱提供密码，然后单击“创建邮箱”(Create Mailboxes)按钮。在下一页上，单击继续(Proceed)按钮。最后，单击订阅管理( Subscription Management)按钮返回主电子邮件屏幕(email screen)。
最后，您会看到它为您提供了管理电子邮件的URL。默认情况下，这只是 mail.domainname.whatever。因此，由于我的域是 aseemkishore.rocks，我会去 mail.aseemkishore.rocks 管理我的电子邮件。值得注意的是，当您单击该链接时，您可能会看到一个错误页面(error page)，这是因为如果您刚刚注册了域，DNS设置必须在(DNS)Internet上传播，这可能需要长达 48 小时。就我而言，它只花了大约 30 分钟，然后它就重定向到了电子邮件客户端。
但是，如果您想立即访问，链接应该在您从NameCheap获得的(NameCheap)私人电子邮件(Private Email)中。如果找不到，这里是管理电子邮件的URL ：
https://privateemail.com/appsuite/signin
现在您必须使用您刚刚创建的电子邮件地址(email address)和您刚刚为该邮箱设置的密码登录。在我的示例中，我的用户名是 [email protected]。不要使用您的NameCheap 帐户的(NameCheap account)登录信息(login info)，因为这不起作用。
进入后，您将看到NameCheap使用的电子邮件客户端(email client)的界面。它有一个干净的界面，在大多数情况下都可以正常工作。
现在要发送您的第一封电子邮件，只需单击撰写(Compose)链接并发送出去！我向我的GMail 帐户(GMail account)发送了一封电子邮件，它在几秒钟内就通过了。NameCheap的伟大之处在于它还支持IMAP，因此您可以使用Outlook或任何您想要管理电子邮件的电子邮件客户端。如果您愿意，他们还可以选择将该帐户中的所有电子邮件转发到另一个帐户。
所以这就是它的全部！这是一个过程，大约需要一个小时才能完成所有这些，但如果你真的想要一个个性化的电子邮件地址(email address)，这确实是唯一的方法。当然，您可以在任何地方注册您的域，并且有数百家电子邮件托管(email hosting)公司，但我只推荐NameCheap，因为我认为它为您提供了物超所值的价格，而且非常易于使用。如果您有任何问题或意见，请在下方告诉我们。享受！
How to Create Your Own Personalized Domain Email Address
Back in the day, AOL had a cool service thаt let you crеate а custom domain email address for free and you could uѕe any domain namе you wanted, even if it was already registered. I have no idea how it worked, but it was gone after a short while and I can see why!
You can still create a personalized email address, but it’s not possible without paying. The reason for that is because you need to first purchase a domain name in order to setup the email for that domain. So in order to get a personalized domain email address, you first have to register a domain. This also means that you are limited in what your “personalized” email address can be. If a domain is already registered, you won’t be able to buy it and therefore won’t be able to send email via that domain name.
Of course, if you really wanted to send an email from any email address, you could create your own email server and send out fake emails, but then you would be a certified hacker/spammer and we’re not going to teach anything like that in this article.
So let’s break the process up into parts and hopefully you can find the domain you’re looking for. You’ll probably get what you want if you’re looking to send emails for a wedding or something similar and want to create a custom email like [email protected] or [email protected]. If you’re looking to send email from [email protected], you’re going to be out of luck because love.com is definitely already registered.
Find a Domain
First, let’s look for a domain that is available. Remember, that the email doesn’t have to always end in .COM either. Recently, a whole slew of new top-level domains were opened up, which means you can have a domain that ends in things like .fitness or .investments or .photography.
The best site I like to use for searching for domains is NameCheap.com. It lets you search for a keyword and then will give you all the options you could possibly imagine for that keyword.
Click Search and you’ll see four tabs across the top: Popular, New, International and Favorites. In the example below, I search for jackandkate to see what was available. Unforunately, jackandkate.com and .net are not available, but others like .rocks and .me are! jackandkate.rocks actually sounds pretty cool. If you were to send an email, it would be something like [email protected]. The part before the @ symbol can be anything you want.
You can scroll down and click the See other options link to see other available options for that domain name. Also, some of them have a little lightning icon next to the name and if you hover over it, it will tell you the restriction for that domain name. For example, if you want jackandkate.ca, you’ll need to have Canadian residence in order to get it.
If none of those suit your fancy, click on the New tab and it’ll show you the options available with all the new top-level domains. You’ll notice immediately that these are also a lot more expensive than the traditional ones.
Once you find a domain you are happy it, purchase it and then read on to the next section, which will show you how to setup your email using NameCheap also. Actually, read the section below before buying the domain from NameCheap because you can add 2 free months of email hosting when checking out.
Setup Email Hosting
When you are purchasing your domain, you’ll see the option to add email hosting on NameCheap and what I really love is that it’s free for 2 months! For most people, you might only need the email address for a couple of weeks while sending invitations, etc. If you need it for longer, it’s very cheap email hosting.
Go ahead and click the add to cart button for the free private email and it will bring you to another page where you can choose the email addresses you would like. By default, it give you one email address for free which starts with [email protected]. However, you can just uncheck that and check the custom blank box at the bottom and that will become your free one. If you want more than one custom email address with that domain, it’ll be $0.25 per email address.
Now just follow through the checkout process, during which you’ll have to create an account. Once you’re done, click on the Manage Account button or go back to the homepage and click Sign In. Once you are logged in, go to the Dashboard and you’ll see a whole bunch of links. The one you want to click on is Open-Xchange Email domains.
Now you will see the domain name listed and you have to click on that. If you bought more than one domain, you have to select the domain you want to manage email for.
Now in order to get your email setup, you first have to create the mailbox. I thought that it would do that on its own since I had typed in the custom domain name I wanted, but apparently you have to do it manually. Go ahead and click on the Setup New Mailbox button.
Type in the local part of the email address you would like, then give your mailbox a password and then click the Create Mailboxes button. On the next page, click the Proceed button. Finally, click on the Subscription Management button to get back to the main email screen.
Finally, you’ll see it gives you the URL for managing your email. By default, this will just be mail.domainname.whatever. So since my domain is aseemkishore.rocks, I would go to mail.aseemkishore.rocks to manage my email. It’s worth noting that when you click that link, you might get a error page and that’s because if you just registered the domain, the DNS settings have to propagate across the Internet and that can take up to 48 hours. In my case, it only took about 30 minutes and then it was redirecting to the email client.
However, if you want immediate access, the link should be in the Private Email email that you get from NameCheap. Here’s the URL for managing email if you can’t find it:
https://privateemail.com/appsuite/signin
Now you have to login using the email address you just created and the password you just set for that mailbox. My username is [email protected] in my example. Don’t use the login info for your NameCheap account as that won’t work.
Once you’re in, you’ll see the interface for the email client used by NameCheap. It’s got a clean interface and works perfectly fine for most purposes.
Now to send your first email, just click the Compose link and send away! I sent an email to my GMail account and it came through in a few seconds just fine. The great thing about NameCheap is that it also supports IMAP, so you can use Outlook or whatever email client you want to manage your email. They also have the option to forward all the email from that account to another one if you like.
So that’s all there is to it! It’s a bit of a process and it will take you about an hour to do all of this, but if you really want a personalized email address, this is really the only way to go about it. Of course, you can register your domain anywhere and there are hundreds of email hosting companies, but I just recommend NameCheap because I think it gives you the best value for the price and it’s very easy to use. If you have any questions or comments, let us know down below. Enjoy!
