Add Pixels.com Email

Here's an idea/suggestion.

Pixels.com should offer premium members a professional email address/account. i.e. AndrewLawrence@pixels.com. Or CoolColorPhotos@pixels.com. A pixels.com email account would make a lot of us artist members look more professional - and tie everything together re website etc. I'm talking about a regular email account, one we don't have to add recipients to a mailing list every time we want to send an email re our pixels portfolio.

I've been using aol and yahoo email for 20 years and don't have a "website" email address tied to a website, blog, newsletter et al. And I don't want to use gmail and pay $6 a month or more.

And, if Pixels doesn't want to offer premium members a pixels.com email address for free, you could maybe charge an extra $10-$20 or so per year.

Think about it.

Nope, I have my own email with my own domain. Floyd@FASGallery.com

I want to send people to FASGallery.com, not Pixels.com.

ALawrence.art is available for instance, for just $17.99 a year.

You buy the domain and point it at your AW and when people go there, your art is the only thing they see. Not 15,000,000 other images.

just use your domain. though, my domain isp filters out our mail here. so i have to use gmail.

the faa/pixels address is filtered out everywhere, personally i'd like them to see my reply. and since they came from mikesavad.com, it would be confusing to see pixels on it.

Yup, it's a crapshoot. My FASGallery.com is registered through Yahoo and I get all my emails with no problem.

I think that is an excellent idea, Andrew. Then the email address domain would match the premium website address domain, for those of us who choose not to use a custom domain for both.

Edit: Although we have a contact form, when I reply to inquiries I use a custom domain address in reverse of what you are suggesting, just swapped the address with the domain (as I know sharing the actual address is not recommended for the discussion threads) such as 'pixels@ .... '.

I understand. I have a google domain (CoolColorPhotos.com) for my website but they don't offer a simple low cost email account to go with my domain. They push free gmail.com or G Suite premium, at $12 a month.

I buy my domains through domains.google.com for $12/year. Then for $6/month, I use G Suite to host my email for David@fluffyshotme.com

I would recommend this set up if the $6/month isn't going to be a drag. G Suite is basically a paid Gmail at the domain of your choosing. In your DNS settings, you simple point your WWW to Artist Websites and your Mail (MX) to G Suite. Google even has a simple step by step to make it happen. I suggest verifying the domain via a DNS entry of a TXT record they ask you to copy and paste.

It takes about 20-30 minutes to setup if you are going slow.
