If you only have one domain name within your account, you will automatically move to Step 4.You will now need to enter the first part of the e-mail address you would like to have.
For example, if you would like the address [email protected] you would enter freeola within this field.
You can create up to 8 e-mail addresses at once on this page. Should you require more addresses, simply repeat this process once you have created your first batch.The suffix (the part after the @ symbol) will have been pre-filled using your domain name, there is no need to type this again.
