Create your own email address - how it works

Own email addresses look more serious for business purposes. We'll show you how to create your own email address.

1. The requirement for your own email address: buy your own domain

To create your own email address, you first need your own domain with your desired address. So if you want to create, you need the domain mustermann.de. In the following steps we will use the example of 1 & 1 to show you how to get your own domain.

1. At 1 & 1 you get an overview of the possible tariffs. If you only want the e-mail address for private use or as a small business owner, you will receive 20 e-mail boxes in the smallest package with your desired address for 99 cents per month.
2. Select your package and click "Next". Then enter your desired domain.
3. Follow the steps at 1 & 1. Enter your address details and confirm the contract.

2. Create your own email address

If you have bought your domain, you can now create new email addresses via the Control Center. In the smallest package, you can create up to 20 mailboxes, all of which end with your chosen address.

1. First you have to log in to 1 & 1.
2. You will then receive a brief overview of your current packages. Choose your domain.
3. Scroll down in the Control Center until you see the "Communication" module. There you will find, among other things, the menu item "Create new e-mail user". Click on it.
4. Then enter your username and password. Your e-mail inbox with your desired address is set up and ready for use in a few minutes.

If you have now set up your domain with your desired email address, we will show you how to set up your 1 & 1 email in Outlook.
