My Own Email Address ? Why have one?

My Own Email Address ?

Almost everyone today has an email address and many of use have several. However very few people own their email address.

Here we will look at the reasons why you should get your own email address and not rely on a free email provider like Yahoo email or Hotmail.

Why Get Your own Email Address

Today, everyone is convinced of the necessity of having an email address, just as they are convinced of the need for a telephone. However most people get themselves an email address from their ISP (Internet Service Provider) or from Yahoo or Hotmail.

The problem is is that these addresses are not really their email address, as they don't actually own it. They have no control over it and it could be changed at any minute.

Therefore you should consider getting your own email address , one that you actually own, and there are some other very good reasons why:

It Looks More professional.
It's Easier to remember.
It Can be used by entire family
It never needs to be changed again.
You can use it for personal website

A Personal Address is more Professional

You Can use it for Personal Website

Yes you can make your own personal website with family photos, calendars history stories, weddings, parties, CVs all with the one address.

Never need to Change Email Addresses

There is nothing wrong with an email address provided by free email providers and in some circumstances they are all you need. If you use a free email account provider or your ISP, then what happens when the service provider changes its policies and perhaps starts charging? Goes out of business? or changes it's domain name?

Changing email address can be a real nightmare and not something to be done unless absolutely necessary. In fact that is one of the main reasons that people finish up having multiple email addresses.
