offers an email server with your site purchase, my recommendation is use it for your site email. You don't say what your site is for (ie sales, blogging, etc). If you are selling something, it looks more legit if your email contact uses your domain name.
example: sales@yourbiz.com
My host server cost $5/month and it comes with its own email server. So it's not like cost is a barrier.

people to join up and you need to send them notice of registration emails then you'll need to set up an email account for your site. You'll also need an email account if you want members/non-members to contact the admin like we do with our "Contact Us" link.
It's your site, you control the zeitgeist. If you get trolls show them the door.

If you do go this route, in order to send to gmail users you'll need to set up DNS with a TXT record. I forget exactly what I entered, but if you "dig -t TXT myexampledomain.com"
it returns "v=spf1 ip4:MY_IP_ADDRESS include:_spf.google.com ~all"

It also simplifies sorting e-mail content as the business grows and communication increases. Sales & marketing (other business will use to market to you), customer support, Info, and one specifically designated as the e-mail to provide for notices you do not want to miss (licensing, key vendors, financial, etc.)

Still yourself, deep water can absorb many disturbances with minimal reaction.

EIG buys up hosting cos, and starts outsourcing, then turns them to shit. I worked for one, and they suck!
They use high pressure selling (like your site will load slowly or your shopping cart will throw errors & they'll upsell you into a higher priced hosting pkg), and are in what I believe to be a scam with another of their companies - SiteLock (website security [cough] software), and will shut your site down, claiming you have malware, and charge a bunch of money to supposedly clean it for you. I, and other employees believe that SL and/or the EIG hosting companies actually insert malicious code (or code that looks malicious) into files. They also send out scare tactic emails to get you to buy their scam SiteLock. Also, the hosting companies give or sell their clients' email addresses to SiteLock for scary email sales campaigns.

That sounds like racketeering.

@The Aspie Corner
When I was fired they said something about not properly representing their products. I never came out and told customers it was a scam, but I didn't push sitelock like some people, who are still there did. Coincidence? I also questioned the legitimacy and ethical aspects of it all. And that actually raised a couple eyebrows.
I really think that if enough people who had their sites held hostage got together, they might have a chance at a decent class action lawsuit against them. Googling sitelock scam proves there are tons of victims.

If the web hosting company
offers an email server with your site purchase, my recommendation is use it for your site email. You don't say what your site is for (ie sales, blogging, etc). If you are selling something, it looks more legit if your email contact uses your domain name.

e-mail with site name is best for marketing

Stay away from EIG owned hosting companies

How do they get away with this?
That sounds like racketeering.
Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.
Guerrilla Liberalism won't liberate the US or the world from the iron fist of capital.
I guess because it can't be proven?
