David, thanks a lot man you literally saved my day with everything especially the troubleshooting section. I wish you all the best in your journey and hopefully we can somehow get it touch one day to thank you in person
Great info David. Thank you so much. Another troubleshooting tip for anyone that still has issues with Gmail alias, is to basically change or remake your Gmail password. I had to do that since I have not changed mine in more than 10 years. After changing my password, plus turning on the Less Secure Apps security, everything basically worked.
Boy it was hard finding a good video on this, so glad for yours, and your troubleshooting made all the difference in the end. Appreciate ya.
haha that's why I made it. When I was trying to set it up, I was like wow this is super annoying. I need to make a video on it.
Thanks a lot David. Everything ran smoothly. Really appreciate it!
Great to hear!
Thank you David!! You helped me a lot, thank you very much!! :)
Great video, really helpful - Thank you so much !
Thank you very much for creating this video, David! Quick question: If I update the Nameservers on the account, how would this process change?
This no longer works because Google no longer allows access from "less secure apps"
Thank you so much for this video. Subscribed!
The troubleshooting part was of great help and I finally have a work email.
But I can only send and not receive. If you were in my place, what would you do to fix it?
Thank sugar! It work.
Thanks a zillion! So thorough & worked like a charm.
Great to hear!
hello, I tried this and when im at the smtp server part, it doesnt work. It says that it couldn't authenticate due to the username and password not working. The secure less secure apps function doesn't exist anymore also
Same happened to me and not sure how to fix it. let me know if you did and how. Thanks!
@@bponce26 could you fix it?
i am getting a "you must provide SMTP information about your email provider." error please send help
Thank you so much it's working just fine
Thanks David for this video. Especially the Troubleshooting part. subscribed.
I encountered every roadblock doing this, so Im glad you found it helpful.
@@DavidUtke Hello, blessings! Great video content. I'm new to this online world and I was looking to pay for an email service and this video came at the right time. Much Appreciated. I'm encountering this error message on the 2nd step ( Authentication failed. Please check your username/password and Less Secure Apps access for my email) I set up the Less secure apps to ON, my password is correct, I'm lost here. Can you help, please? Thanks again!
My apologies David as an "OLD" newbie that I am, I did not see the last part of the video with the troubleshooting, I'm on it. Thank you!
thanks for the tip chief.
David, helpful video. I have business emails through Microsoft Exchange. Can I use the same steps you mentioned to forward to my Gmail account? thanks
Thanks you saved my day i can now sleep peacefully
This is how you use a domain name registrar for a pro email. It's a bit more techy and error prone than setting up an email with a hosting account but it can be done. Anyways, hit that like button and thanks for watching! ALSO check the trouble shooting section at the 5 minute mark if you're running into problems.
But what happens when you decide to get a website hosted, will you run into some problems?
is it possible to change the image of the professional email?
Hi David, I have hosting with siteground and have created a custom email using their site tools/Cpanel. Can I forward emails to Gmail and use Gmail to reply (similar to what you showcased in your video). Also, why did you buy an email from Namecheap when you can create a free custom email address using your hosting provider?
I'm not able to even receive the initial email from my business email address on namecheap to the Gmail account I created
Just spent an hour messing with this... "app passwords" is no longer in the Google account menu and is now under "security" hidden at the very bottom of the "two step verification" section. That process failed a couple of times (said "service unavailable" for a while) but then I logged out of Google and back in 30 minutes later and it worked! Thank you for the helpful video.
Happy to help out!
the emails sent end up in the promotions tab, anyone have a solution for this plz
thanks, got it working
Great!
Hey! Nice tutorial, I used your video to connect my email 6 months ago. But right now, I can't use my redirect email, because google blocked "less secure app access" on 30 May, 2022. What's the solution and what you can recomend? Thanks
Hello please have you found a solution for it ?
The troubleshooting part of this video came in handy; I have been struggling all day setting up my business email. Now I am legit and can send plumbing quotes looking a little bit more professional.
Good! Glad I did not waste my time with that part :)
this option is not available on my account they saying To perform this function from your account, you must first change your nameservers to Namecheap default. although my domain is hosted on hostinger what to do ?
Did you figure soemthing out?
Thank you David!
You're welcome!
thank you so much
I’m getting stuck in the password park for some reason. My password works fine except when doing this
Is there a way to set up DKIM in Gmail this way?
thank you so much i was having a massive headache dealing with this. But is there any way to put a custom icon for the 2nd account?
Ha, yea it is a headache for sure. For the email and all alias last time I checked it was only possible to have one logo.
Thanks for content.. I am new to email marketing. I signed up for proemail service from Namecheap and not sure how to send bulk email. I see several other email send service, but not sure if I need a client to use with proemail or which client is best.
Thank you sooo much!
No worries!
Hi David, Thank you for a great video! I just purchased my first domain name last night. Had a lot of technical issues trying to sent it up. I finally got it to receive emails in Gmail. NOw my issue is trying to fix the "Authorization failed" error. I did everything suggested by you as well as the Google help form. I even set up 2 part verification on my iphone. Did it all and still stuck on the merry go round. Any suggestions? I'd like to skip using Hosting if I can.
I had to change my gmail password then this worked. some weird glitch
Hi Auntie. I had the same problem "authorization failed" I CANCELLED 2 part verification. I couldn't even get PayPal working with A2Verification on my Gmail account. After turning off that feature, it's all working. Try it; maybe that's the glitch.
Great video, thanks
Glad it helped
Helpful video but frustrating. I can't get gmail to send mail through a different email address.
Love the video, Namecheap has changed the setup. Could you please make an update video?
Hi did you get it to work because it didn't work for me
As of May 30, 2022 Google has restricted asscess to less secure apps. This method as is will no longer work because Gmail will block your alias. :(
Hi David, thank you for this video. Do I first need to create a private email through my NameCheap account? I did these steps and it wouldn't work for me. I feel I am misunderstanding one of the steps.
did you solve? please reply
I doesn't work, I keep getting the "Authentication failed. Please check your username/password and Less..." errors
I know, it’s a total headache which is why I have that troubleshooting section at the end. Keep trying.
@@DavidUtke i really need to get it right. I tried turning on the less secure.. on my email account and i also tried the other thing u did ..still not working.
@@DavidUtke please can u send me the link to the site where u got help troubleshooting. I tried searching the errors like u said in the video, still couldn't find that page.
I'm not sure how your email forwarding is working bcus mine is not. I don't know where they're going bcus they're certainly not gong to my Gmail account!😫
What happens once we decide to have a website hosted. Does this same email get used?
Thank you for the video btw.
Sure, you can easily setup a redirect and alias: czcams.com/video/g4OTOjWehOg/video.html
What if you're using digital ocean for hosting your website, and need to have custom DNS, what then? Since this is great but it won't work if you're hosting elsewhere and needs custom DNS.
Correct, it's not perfect but a lot of people want to simply register a domain name and setup a custom email.
Good thanks
Does anyone know if I can use Yahoo mail instead of Gmail for this? I created a domain email in my namecheap account with my Yahoo email but it is not working. I did not get any email people try to send me at the Domain email address. I hate Gmail so I don't want to be forwarding my mail to a Gmail address
Yes, all clients should provide the alias functionality. I used Gmail because it's the most popular. But I personally use Proton mail :)
I did accordingly.... works everything fine... but when i use my domain email to send emails... they reaches to promotions tab of the receiver... what should i do?
Where the email lands up depends on Gmail and a lot of factors. The trust of your domain name, the content of the email, how people interact with your emails etc. I would reach out to Namecheap and ask if there is anything you could change.
Thanks David. Easy to follow demonstration! Namecheap charges $40+/yr for email hosting service. Are there any other paid services you can use with your domain name, even though it is hosted with Namecheap? New Sub & great effort!
I personally use Google Workspace for my custom branded email. I however use Google's suite of other services to manage team members though.
u are awesome thank u
Glad it helped
Authentication failed. Please check your username/password.
Show error details
Please help?
I have a section at the end of the video that covers this. It's simply hit or miss, but you'll need to change a few security settings if you're comfortable with that.
emails from the new Alias will likely end up in peoples JUNK folder no?
Perhaps, I don't recommend this way. It's more reliable to get a hosting account and to create an alias. However, people want to know how it's done with a domain registrar so I did my best to cover it and everything that could go wrong.
Thank you so much for this video, i noticed that all my messages sent, usually goes to spam. can anyone help
That's the negative of doing this. Honestly it's best to use an email host if this is important. Namecheap has some of the cheapest email hosting around.
So i have to have a previous gmail account?
Yes you do.
is there anyway to do this with outlook instead of gmail?
As long as you have access to the SMTP info then sure.
@@DavidUtke ok thx
YOUR A GOAT!!!
If you use this method does it mean your email will still work without the need to keep buying Namecheap's email hosting?
I believe so!
Hello David,
I bought domain from namecheap website, i want create my business email on the gmail. And i followed all the step which you siad in the video. But i am still unable create business account. Please help me out of this.
Have you tried changing or recreating your password in Gmail. If your password been used more than 5 years, it is best to recreate one. I did that and it worked for me.
I am leaving Namecheap, really bad, you can't have emails when buying the domain you don't have email hosting, you need to pay PER email. Is ridiculous.
You missed the big step that needed doing with webmail setup before you could do the redirect ???
Well signing up to Gmail is not too complicated so I decided to leave it out.
Tutorial is awesome and u have nice lady killer voice.
Using Namcheap felt weird to me...Respectfully. It was too complicated to set up. Still waiting on a refund.
ur address is at the bottom
it does not help - need FREE provate email and FREE domain.
If you want private you have to crack open that wallet and buy an email hosting plan.
impossible to connect this shit
