Why you shouldn't use Free email accounts.
If you are using free email accounts such as yahoo and/or hotmail as your main email addresses, it's time to reconsider.
Here are some reasons why
- Free email accounts unfortunately are now being taken over by spammers and fraudsters who now have automated systems that can set up hundreds of accounts at the same time for spamming and fraud purposes. As a result, more and more online merchants are refusing orders originating from free email accounts.
- Most free email account merchants have a policy which would deactivate or even delete your account if you don't use it for a certain period. Therefore you run the risk of loosing your account altogether which could be crucial if you've used it to register at some websites.
- When it comes to free email accounts, there's no uniqueness anymore. Almost every man and his dog now has one of these free accounts. Why don't you stand out from the crowd by getting a personalized email account
- Let's face it, most of the common names are gone. It is now almost next to impossible to get a decent easy to remember name. It's already hard enough remembering passwords, but now with so many username variations out there, you could forget it altogether or end up given out the wrong address.
- If you were thinking about using POP access to your mail, most free mail providers actually charge extra for this. The charge would most likely be more than it'll cost you to register a domain name and get an email only plan with us; and that'll be for just one email address. Our email only plan gives you unlimited email addresses with free POP and IMAP access.
- Have you noticed the amount of advertising that's on most if not all of your emails sent or received with free email accounts? That just shows your free email account is not actually free as you are technically helping another company advertise it's products. Also it most likely wouldn't look to professional if you were applying for a job or running a business.
So, if you were thinking of setting up a free email account or you already have one, i think it's time to reconsider and go for a more professional email address that is completely unique to you and/or your business for only 99p per month. What a deal!!!
