- stavros 3y agoI keep getting asked about "<yourbusinessname>@mydomain.com" every time. "Oh, you work here too?". People have no idea how email works (and why should they?).
- wink 3y agoHow is it different than if you give your address as 1234 York Street or 1234 Miller Street and they will not assume you live in York or work for the brewery making Miller Lite... It's been 40 years, people could have wisened up how email addresses work.
- stavros 3y agoBecause they can't differentiate between "stavros@yourbusiness.com" and "yourbusiness@stavros.com".
- wink 3y agoI know, I didn't ask how to mix it up but why it didn't become basic knowledge by now? :P
- stavros 3y agoBecause nobody knows why "business1@gmail.com" and "business2@gmail.com" are actually different businesses, but "business1@stavros.com" and "business2@stavros.com" aren't. Who knows if your domain is a mail provider or not, or what a domain is, or how mail servers work, etc etc.
- milliams 3y agoI see a lot of vans in the UK with things like: Bobs Builder's web: bobsbuilders.co.uk email: bobbuilder@blueyonder.co.uk And I always think: "you went to the effort to get a domain name and put a website up, but you couldn't go the one more step and have your email point there too?" Especially since you likely hired a web company to do the website, why didn't they also do the email? At least in these cases a company's web-savvyness (or grammar) don't necessarily affect their building skill.
