Hello, Does anyone know how I could give users to my website free web based email, like gmail or hotmail without spending too much money (but not have someone elses brand plastered over mine)? Thanks in advance, Adam.
Get a domain and a host which allows unlimited email service. In their Cpanel, they have Webmail, You can make a sign up page in gmail and let user register their own user account with your domain extention. I know this is not something you are really aiming to do, but it could be somewhat related to it. Basically you might need a script to make users signup for the webmail and integrate it properly so that the emails appear properly and in a good speed. If you are somewhat new to this, i would recommend you to ask some experts about this as this can be a tough job.
You should go for Google Apps. It's free and web-based. All you need to do is change MX Records and CNAME, and you can give as many as 2,000 emails to all your users/clients.
