Hi!

My site was hosted by Mr Site. They were crap, so now I have a wordpress site/blog thing instead. I forgot about my email which was hosted by Mr Site.

All of my business cards and leaflets have mail@westartandglass.com as the contact email address, so I need it up and running again as soon as possible.

I can see nothing on the store option at Wordpress about buying an email address. I googled personalised email addresses, and there is a place that will let me have anything@westartandglass.com for free providing I already own the domain (which I do) but only if I switch the hosting to them. Which I don't want to do. I think. I don't really get it to be honest, if it isn't hosted by Wordpress will westartandglass.com still redirect to my wordpress site?

Basically, how do I get mail@westartandglass.com back please? along with paypal@westartandglass.com? preferably now?! Everything goes to those addresses, I need them, I can't just make new ones. I have no way of recalling the 8,000 or so leaflets/cards etc. with that email address on!!!

help! :(

I think I transferred the hosting to wordpress. Whatever I did cost me $12...

As I understand that deal, you should get email with it. I think (I don't fully understand) that you have to fill in the details, but basically you can map your existing email address to another account. So you can, say, use a gmail account but get all your email for zena@westartandglass.com. You just need to follow the instructions (http://en.support.wo...pps-for-domains) and get the mapping set up.
