How to change mail from com to co.uk
Changing your email address from a .com
domain to a .co.uk
domain is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:
Method 1: Using a Third-Party Email Service
If you're using a third-party email service like Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo, you can't directly change the domain from .com
to .co.uk
. However, you can create a new email address with the .co.uk
domain and forward emails from your old address to the new one.
- Create a new email address with the
.co.uk
domain using a registrar like GoDaddy or 123 Reg. - Set up email forwarding from your old
.com
address to your new.co.uk
address. This will forward all incoming emails from your old address to your new address.
Method 2: Using a Custom Domain with a Web Host
If you have a custom domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com) and are hosting your website with a web host, you can change your email address from .com
to .co.uk
by updating your DNS settings.
- Update your DNS settings with your web host to point to the new
.co.uk
domain. - Create a new email account with your web host using the
.co.uk
domain. - Update your email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird) to use the new
.co.uk
email address.
Method 3: Using a Registrar
If you're using a registrar like GoDaddy or 123 Reg to manage your domain, you can update your email address from .com
to .co.uk
by following these steps:
- Log in to your registrar account and go to the domain management section.
- Click on the "Email" or "Mail" tab and select the email account you want to update.
- Click on the "Edit" or "Update" button next to the email address.
- Enter the new
.co.uk
email address and save the changes.
Important Notes
- Before making any changes, ensure you have access to both the
.com
and.co.uk
domains. - If you're using a custom domain, you may need to update your DNS settings to point to the new
.co.uk
domain. - If you're using a third-party email service, you may need to update your email client to use the new
.co.uk
email address. - Be aware that changing your email address may affect any email addresses or contacts you've shared with others.
