Creating Domain Specific Email Accounts at Wealthy Affiliate
Hey everyone!
In this short little vid, I am going to show you how to create a domain-specific email address for your website. In my example I am going to take a domain that I own (skillfulbasketball.com) and going to create an email address that is specific to that domain (kyle@skillfulbasketball.com).
What You'll Learn:
- Accessing the Platform: Start by navigating to the 'Site Manager' under the 'Websites' tab in Wealthy Affiliate.
- Creating an Email Account: Find out how to create a new email mailbox directly linked to your domain, like 'skillfulbasketball.com'.
- Avoiding Email Forwards: Learn why setting up email forwards to services like Gmail might not be the best approach due to low delivery rates.
- Setting Up Your Inbox: Step-by-step guide on creating your new email and logging into your webmail account.
- Email Management: Tips on managing your email, understanding the inbox layout, and accessing settings.
If you've ever wanted a more professional touch to your online presence with a domain-specific email, this video is a must-watch. Plus, I'll be on hand to answer any questions in the comments, so drop any questions you have about this process below.

Hi Kyle. For collecting contacts I have Aweber for one site and ConvertKit for the other. People can leave comments at the bottom of each article which I can read in my dashboard.
Should I include the email address inside each article or maybe just on my homepage’s headers?
Thanks Abie. I decided to add the email address in my ‘About Us’ section. I believe they have a plugin for spam too.
I tried to comment on the Scoop Gurus site. I read the article about gelato, then went back to the spot to leave a comment. As I was drafting my comment the pop up came up saying I had not commented yet. I lost my post and had to rewrite it. When I tried to submit it, I got the message that I had to go into the website to review the post before submitting a comment. I went back into the website for the article, went back to the comment area and tried again. Finally, I just made the comment within the website. I don't know if I got a comment point or not. I'm hoping that eventually I'll figure this thing out.
That can be frustrating, there is a time limit to make the comment from within the platform so if you leave a comment offer "open" then sometimes this can happen. Just make sure if you are invested in making a comment, that you focus on that task and aim to do it right there and then.
Hi Kyle, I have few questions. Please assist.
1) Could you please explain the distinction between accessing emails through WA and Outlook? I'm quite confuse on it.
2) I've set up an email with a domain name in Outlook, but the email address isn't visible. Could you take a look at the attachment?
3) If I intend to create an email with a domain name to someone and prefer they not access it through WA email, can they set their own password?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
I use Fastmail and can host email there for an unlimited number of domains. I'm not currently using WA as my domain registrar, but I probably with some of my domains in the future. If I do, is it possible to update MX records to point to Fastmail instead of hosting email at WA?
Yes, you absolutely can. If you are happy with Fastmail, you can definitely contact SiteSupport and they can help you with the MX record updates. ;)

I am going through Jay's class on Creating your first email newsletter, and I tried to create another email using WA EMAIL, but it would not work. Somewhere between WA EMAIL and AWEBER, it would not let me sign into the new email; it just signed me into the old done. And AWEBER gave me an error message when i tried to verify.
I deleted both the WA email ( the new one) and Aweber to start over.
But I am confused. Should I create a new email here using WA EMAIL, or should I create a GMAIL email? and then try connect that with AWEBER.
Ive watched both the classes and I am stumped !
You can use a domain specific email, and you should be. If you cannot log into your email inbox, that would be a question for SiteSupport.
Just make sure are copying your login details correctly. :)
Thanks for getting back to me, I tried that and I put in a ticket, but I still couldn't get it to work. I probably didn't ask the right question or give support the right information, the reply didn't help me fix it.
