  Help! I love using WP and I’m interested in upgrading to a new domain so I can set up a business website. I want to have an email address with the same name – e.g info@…
  I don’t have an existing email host.
  I’ve looked at the info about using Google, GoDaddy etc but this doesn’t really explain it to me. If I go down this route will I end up with my own email address (good) or a gmail address (not good).
  Any help appreciated.

  Hi. Thanks for that. I had already looked at the info you mention but it didn’t really explain what I wanted to know.
  Maybe I need to rephrase my question:
  If I have a domain hosted through WP, is it possible to have an email address using that domain name and, if so, how?
