| + | <div align=justify>All the [http://myidealhost.com/hosting.shtml web hosting accounts] provided by the [http://myidealhost.com/about.shtml hosting provider MyIdealHost] include email service. It means all the users of MyIdealHost can create mailboxes for their domain names and send/receive emails. Please note the number of the email accounts is unlimited and even if you do not have a site yet, you can still use the domain name to set up email for it. Domain-based email addresses are much better for business than free email accounts (e.g. Yahoo or AOL). Once you’ve set up e-mail accounts for your domain, you can add them to an email application such as Microsoft Outlook in order to check and organize your email. | ||
