WEBVTT 00:00.050 --> 00:05.630 Okay, so first off, if you've registered your domain name with Shopify, then the next five lectures 00:05.660 --> 00:07.130 are not going to apply to you. 00:07.130 --> 00:09.410 So you can simply skip the next five lectures. 00:09.410 --> 00:13.220 But if you're still with me, that means that you're interested in setting up email in what I consider 00:13.220 --> 00:17.510 to be the correct way, which is with an external host. 00:17.540 --> 00:21.590 Now, this is pretty straightforward to do, and of course, I'm going to show you exactly what you 00:21.590 --> 00:23.210 need to do step by step. 00:23.210 --> 00:27.050 So you have absolutely nothing to worry about in the coming lectures. 00:27.080 --> 00:32.750 Now, in terms of cost, there is a small additional cost compared to doing it with Shopify, perhaps 00:32.750 --> 00:39.590 1 or $2 per month, but I really consider that investment worthwhile to get it all set up in a more 00:39.590 --> 00:40.940 professional manner. 00:41.120 --> 00:43.520 So which external hosting company should you use? 00:43.520 --> 00:48.620 From the probably tens of thousands of companies out there offering their services? 00:48.650 --> 00:54.050 Well, in my 20 plus years experience, I've probably seen the good, the bad and the ugly of several 00:54.080 --> 00:54.680 hundred. 00:54.710 --> 00:59.780 And there is one in particular that I use a lot, and I will recommend them to you in the next lecture 00:59.810 --> 01:04.790 Now, before I do that, I do want to say that you can use any external host you want. 01:04.820 --> 01:06.530 If you've got your favorite, go for that. 01:06.530 --> 01:10.250 If you've got one that you're using already, then by all means use that as well. 01:10.250 --> 01:15.350 But if you want to take my recommendation, I can guarantee there are very, very good company, very, 01:15.350 --> 01:16.100 very fast. 01:16.130 --> 01:20.780 The support is excellent, which I think is something that a lot of people overlook, particularly when 01:20.780 --> 01:21.770 you get into problems. 01:21.770 --> 01:25.940 Super cheap hosting companies generally offer very poor support. 01:25.940 --> 01:33.320 So not only is the support excellent, but also and this is a big one, I can get you a massive 70% 01:33.320 --> 01:35.780 discount off the normal price. 01:35.780 --> 01:40.550 So if you do want to go with TMD in the next lecture, you're going to see a link. 01:40.580 --> 01:42.260 I would like you to click on that link. 01:42.290 --> 01:48.410 And then in the following lecture I'll show you how to set up your email in the best possible way.
