Having an email address that matches your domain name adds a professional touch to your Weebly site. Instead of using a generic free email provider, you can set up a custom address — and it doesn't have to cost anything. Here's how to get started.

What You'll Need

• A Weebly site with a custom domain name.
• Access to your Weebly dashboard and domain settings.
• A few minutes to follow the configuration steps.

Steps to Set Up Your Free Email

1. Log into your Weebly account and navigate to the dashboard for the site you want to configure.
2. Open the Domains tab from the top navigation. Locate your custom domain and click on it to view its settings.
3. Look for the email forwarding or email setup option. Weebly offered integration that let you create a free email address tied to your domain and forward messages to an existing inbox.
4. Enter the desired email alias (for example, hello@yourdomain.com) and specify the destination email where messages should be forwarded.
5. Save your settings and test the new address by sending a message to it from another account. Confirm it arrives in your destination inbox.

Why Use a Custom Email Address?

A domain-based email address builds trust with visitors and customers. It signals that you're serious about your site, and it's easier to remember than a long generic address. Paired with Weebly's free forwarding, you get the professional look without paying for a separate email hosting plan.
