Transcripts
hello guys this is Ali salanke and today
we'll be talking about how to create
Unlimited Custom email addresses for
free yeah I will be creating them
completely for free the format for these
email addresses would be XYZ or whatever
your name is or whatever name that you
want to put over here at the rate
domain.com so whatever your domain name
is and then.com or dot XYZ or whatever
you have so an example of this would be
Ali at the rate the watermelongang.com
and we will actually be creating this
we'll be sending out emails to other
people via this email uh we'll be
connecting it with our Gmail address and
doing a lot of different things so stick
till the end of this video because I
will be saving you a lot of money via
this one so make sure to subscribe to
this channel like this video and let me
know if you find any difficulties in the
comment section below so the first thing
that you need to do is get a domain
registered right so you need to have a
domain in order to have uh the domain's
email address so what I have used is God
ID so the link will be down in the
description
search for it and buy a
Dome I've already done that would cost
around 1000 to 2000 rupees for one year
so yeah that would be the cost for
buying a domain for one year now I've
already purchased one domain so I'll
just go on my products and the domain
that we'll be setting DNS up for would
be the watermelon gang.com so this is
our website you can you know set up your
website before doing this or you can set
it up afterwards as well it does not
matter so yeah this is my website and
let's set up some email addresses for it
now the second thing that you need to do
is go on DNS now if you've bought your
domain from GoDaddy you just have to go
down and see DNS records and name
servers right so these are the two
spaces from where we'll be working most
of the things out now the second step of
ours is to connect it with cloudflare
and set it all up now if you're coming
on your GoDaddy account for the first
time after purchasing the domain there
would be some DNS records that would
have already been listed but we need to
change that okay so what we need to do
is ignore all of these DNS records just
go down to your name servers and there
would be two name servers which are
different than what is written over here
so you would need to change it this
would be done in order to connect our
God ID account with our Cloud Fair
account okay so let's first go on our
Cloud fair and you know set up your
email address with cloudflare nothing
fancy just log in with your Gmail
address and that's it so in order to set
it all up just click on add a site over
here we'll add in the watermelon
gang.com add site and then it would give
us some list of plans that we can select
but we would go with the free plan and I
think for most of you guys you won't
need to use any of the other plans that
are listed over there after that go down
see all of these DNS configurations that
they are providing let's just click on
continue for now and over here we have
changed your name servers right so this
is the most important part right now so
we need to copy this name server which
is cloudflare's name servers and click
on change and add it over here if you've
not done that already right so at this
and the second one would be this
particular name server so let's just add
this as well
right so we've done adding both of these
name servers click on Save
and once these name servers are updated
it should take around 30 minutes to one
hour in order to get everything done but
it could take up to 48 hours as well
okay so once everything is done let me
just refresh this page you won't see any
DNS records as I was showing previously
and the name servers would have been
updated as well now just go on cloud
Fair once we are done just click on done
check name servers and it should be
connected with your Cloud Fair account
now they've given us a quick start guide
let's just get started get everything
done always use https you can do all of
these things although this is not
necessary but you can do all of these
things in order to make your website
better
now once this is done it would show a
message which is domain transfer
complete so now Cloud Fair would be
managing your domain so the next thing
that you need to do is go over to your
email part over here in Cloud fair and
here we'll be setting up some email
addresses
now once you're there on the email
routing part uh you won't see these
three custom addresses and two
destination addresses or anything like
that uh what you need to do is just go
on routes go down below and add in
destination addresses so destination
addresses are basically where would your
emails go to right so you need to add in
your Gmail address for this so the first
thing that we need to do is set up
incoming mails right so that is what
we're doing over here and then
connecting Gmail with custom domain so
in order to do that we need to first set
up the Gmail address altogether so just
go on Gmail and create a new account now
I already have an account which I want
my email addresses to go to so this is
my account and let me just set this
account with my cloud Fair account as
well so it would be watermelon
gang marketing
at the rate gmail.com
and then save
so now it would show pending
verification and you would get an email
verification in your inbox directly so
just verify your email address
and once your email is verified just go
to email routing and let's set all the
things up
so now if you see on your destination
address it would show one because I
already had two destination addresses
it's showing three so just go down and
it is now verified right so destination
address has been verified now the next
thing that you need to do is enable
catch all address so what this means is
say for example someone sends an email
to support the rate the
watermelongang.com right but I've not
said that custom address up yet or I've
not said Ali at the rate the watermelon
gang.com either so what happens with
those things it all goes directly to
watermelon gang marketing at the
gmail.com which is our Gmail address
directly so it does not let go of any
emails it sends all of them to your
Gmail address altogether so just make
sure that it is active if you don't want
to do that don't make it active after
that we need to create our custom
addresses finally right so create an
address uh we'll be creating Ali at the
rate the watermelon.com send to and then
the Gmail address that we want to send
it to and then save it
so once it's done it should come in over
here which is Ali at the rate the
whatwellinggang.com sent to this Gmail
address and it is active finally so what
this means is if I now send an email to
this particular address it would
directly come in my Gmail inbox let's
try it out so click on compose uh do is
and this is testing
Ali
custom email right hi
and let's just send it over so what
should happen is that it should directly
come in our inbox over here which is
watermelon gang marketing at the rate
gmail.com right so it should come over
here and there it is uh testing Ali
custom email and hi I've gotten it and
it is to
Ali at the rate watermelon gang.com
which is also fine so everything is
working fine now I want to be able to
send or compose email addresses via Ali
at the ratewaterbelengang.com so how do
I do that let's learn that as well so
this is the second part of the video so
let's start with that now in order to do
that you first need to go on settings
click on settings see all settings
and then over here you'd see accounts
and import now you need to come down to
send mail as and over here I will be
adding another email address which is
Ali at the ratewatermelongang.com you
might not see all of these other things
as well but um I've already set up for
other custom emails so let me just do
that again so click on add another email
address and over here we'll be adding
our custom email which is Ali at the
rate the watermelon gang
dot com click on next step
and here we need to remove this
particular SMTP server which would be
replaced by
smtp.gmail.com it would be same for
everyone the port can be 587 or 465 I
recommend using 465 only now the next
thing that we have to do is add in the
username and password right okay so for
the username just add in whatever
username that you want to add I'll be
adding in say Ali salunki right just
don't use spaces between it uh and then
in the password you'd have to generate a
password for this so how do you generate
it so over here just go back to your
Google account press on manage your
Google account after that go on security
go down and make sure your two-step
verification is on now once it is on
then go back to app passwords okay so
once you click on app passwords you
would have to add in your password so
let me just do that
until on the screen you might not be
seeing this particular app password so
you would have to set up your own app
password directly so press on other or
maybe mail as well right now I'll just
keep it other
keep it to custom
right and then click on generate
right once it generates this password
make sure to keep it safe with you copy
the password and then press on done now
this password needs to be kept safe with
you uh just copy it and then we would be
using it in order to add in our email
addresses the password that you've
copied just paste it over here make sure
you've also you know added it in some
text document or somewhere kept safe and
then just click on add account
okay authentication field show error
details uh let's add in
the username to be watermelon
marketing at the rate
gmail.com
over here uh they have successfully sent
a code email code you can either verify
over here or just close the window go on
your inbox and it should be over there
so just click on this particular link
and confirm it
so confirm
now just refresh this page and there's
an amazing thing that would happen which
is if you click on compose
you would see this drop down click over
there and you'd see Ali at the rate
watermelon.com and now if I send it to
my original email address with testing
done
added
right
hey
and send let's wait for it in our
original inbox and let's see if it comes
over there and there it is uh testing
done added custom email and if you go
down you would see it is from Ali at the
rate the watermelon gang.com and
everything is done everything is set you
can send emails with your custom email
address and you can receive emails as
well so that's it for this video If you
