How to Create an Family email Domain

Once upon a time ... we create emails like [email protected] or [email protected]. An email was optional back in the '90s. Today, email communication is a vital form of communication. Imagine how your kid will set up an email?

The main problems regarding email availability are that people rely on free cloud-email services like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo and more, which are simultaneously serving millions of other users who are competing for the same name combinations. The process of setting up a family email account for your family has been made quicker and easier. Your own private Family email addresses can be an easy way to work around the cloud-email problems and doesn't need to be expensive.

Benefits of a Family email domain

Large (or small) families can benefit from an own family email domain name. It can be a hassle to organize basic events like family reunions, baby showers, Christmas, wedding, ... . I don't need to mention how difficult is to remembering everyone's custom email address. Some of the people use their work email addresses, others have switched from ISP and changed their email address. Who hasn't that uncle with an embarrassing old email address ([email protected])?

A mailbox has to be organized, amongst family emails you receive junk messages or social update emails. Family emails can be easily get lost in a large number of emails.

An great example is the family Scott-Pearson. They are living around the globe with relatives in Canada, Europe, and Asia. People within the family have moved jobs or changed from email addresses. Not everybody is checking their Facebook. Since the family is living around the globe, it is difficult to schedule a conference call since the time zones don't allow us to manage such a call. The solution was the family email domain configured on @Emailforward.mx. No one had to re-learn a mailbox and could use the email addresses they used to work with. Email is used within all age groups ensuring young and old can keep in touch.

The benefit of setting up the family email accounts:

  • No one is left behind
  • Email addresses you familiar with
  • Can be used by all age groups
  • Don't need an address book, you can standardize email addresses
  • Easily share photo's ;-)

Email is a master tool for all age groups!
