Hi, hope someone can assist me.

 

My wife started a new business and bought a logo from www.freelogoservices.com

 

They also convinced her to register a website through them along with hosting. The problem now is that in order to get an email address, she needs to pay a monthly fee. From what I can see, the hosting or whatever is through gandi (access.mail.gandi.net.) 

 

When I googled gandi, it tells me that gandi gives 5 free email accounts.

 

Is there a way that she can get her business email address (self setup) without the monthly fee ?

 

She has access to her DNS settings and nameservers.

 

Please advise

Most hosting companies often provide free email addresses. If you have access to the MX record for the domain(s) you could host the email with Zoho, bypassing their "gandi" mail altogether. That will give you ten email addresses. In my own opinion the website looks fishy, the whole concept of providing free logos buy paying to use them goes against me.

 

Let me know if this hasn't been clear enough or if you have any questions.
