So I was scrolling through twitter and came across a tweet where I got to know having a custom email address like hi@yourdomain.com is cool these days 😂. I am joking 😂. But I got to know that having a personalised email address is good because it makes you look professional.
And when I look at my email address, it is faisalhusain1320@gmail.com . Very hard to remember with those numbers there.
So I started researching how to get a custom email address for free. And after researching I found out that there are several ways to get a custom email address for free.
- Zoho
- Cloudflare
- ImprovMX
But the problem for me was that i dont wanted to maintain another inbox. And already I have given my email faisalhusain1320@gmail.com to many place so I cannot abandon it.
So I started looking for other options.
I came across this blog by Anthony Fu where he explained how to use ForwardEmail But that service was paid now so I randomly visited forwardemail's youtube channel I got the the solution.
Refer above video to setup your custom email address for free.
But the small thing is that there will be a small tooltip kind of thing on which it will be written via google
Now I receive and send email using my new email address hi@faisalhusa.in
Everything is managed in gmail only no money and no other inbox.
Here is the link to the blog if you want to set using cloudflare
I tried it but as my website is deployed on vercel and there was some proxy issue with cloudflare. So I reverted it back , but this will also work.
