Is Easyspace any good? I used them for a few years a while back and they were absolute rubbish.

https://www.vidahost.com/cloud-web-hosting is cheaper, it has Spam Assasin bundled

I've used them for years and don't have any problems.

Google Apps charges now. When it was free, I set up all my domains on it.

I use zoho

Mine is a portmanteau of my real name but backwards, online presences is a no brainer, even if its just for an email address in the company name and a brief home page, it surprises me how many people have sent CV's from gmail or hotmail addresses still

No no no.. I found it..

You are a company, you are a professional, you are a technical expert, you can't work out how to have your own domain hosted by Google Apps?

IMHO it looks unprofessional to have a free account as a contractor

Horses for courses, fine pay for a bespoke domain, but IMHO nothing wrong with <companyname>@outlook.com or whatever, showing financial prudence to HMRC.

I have a good filter on my Easyspace account so it's easy to block the spam.

I use a work named gmail account on my jobboard CVs and switch to my business email as soon as I get a tickle.

The amount of spam I get on my work gmail account is huge.

Yes, Lord Snooty, I'll get on it right away.

TBH, if you were hiring and turned me away because I have a hotmail account, I would think I had a lucky escape.

My daughter did some work for an American company and had a gmail account set up to project the company name as the domain name.

I still use Hotmail. It is now Outlook (online) and is not much different to Office online and soon will no doubt be integrated properly.

You would be surprised how many client companies use services like gmail on a corporate basis.

Nothing wrong with free services.

Mine seemed sensible at the time and is good because it has both our initials in it showing my wife is an equal partner since setup.

I did make it too long though and realised what a pain it was when writing cheques back in the day.

My websapce was only bought to get the email address really but I think it gives a more professional look to emails, especially on my Plan B.

Mine is based on the post code I had as a child.
