I’ve got 2 blogs with very similar names, and associated email addresses.
1 ezine’s been set up for me and loaded with a 400 email sequence, and Alessandro very kindly helped me set up the 2nd, which I write emails for with AI’s help ; and I post 3 times a week.
My question arises because I need names for 2 new sites.
one’s for an MLM program, and the other’s for a software suite I can sell access to via subscription; hopefully earning passive income via affiliates sending subscribers.
I don’t want to have to monitor 4 business email addresses, or confuse visitors with site names.
I’ve got, for example; mydomainname_com & myverysimilardomainname_com.
if I get mydomainname_net & info for the sites then use the com for the ezines & segment subscribers into ‘freebie seekers,’ ‘MLM,’ ‘AI’ lists etc. Could I avoid confusing them over who’s mailing them & why different domain name extensions are involved?
I’m in danger of complicating my life with 4 sites going on, though I’m managing to schedule blog and ezine posts in advance at the moment, so I don’t want to have to check 4 email addresses every day.
I realise this is a bit convoluted and involved so T.I.A. for any help and suggestions

Use one main domain for all sites and emails. Create subdomains or aliases for clarity. Segment your email lists within one account, such as ‘freebie seekers,’ ‘MLM,’ and ‘AI.’ Use email aliases and forward them to one inbox to manage everything in one place without confusion.

Thanks, but as the new sites will be set up and hosted for me I’ll check with my name registrar if it’s possible to point the name to different hosts.
I just got a 50% discount offer to renew a .net domain I let lapse, so I’ll see if it’s available for other extensions if I do need to get those in order to connect to the different servers involved.
I’ll certainly follow your suggestion for the email lists, and make it clear on the confirmation page the emails will come from me at the .com extension.
Not only should you be able to forward a bunch of emails into your one destination, but if your email client allows (I use Outlook; it does) you can send email from any of those separate email addresses as well. So they all get consolidated in one place for reading, but you could still maintain those addresses to any replies to you make to the sender.
I would be very surprised if your hosting company tells you that their emails can’t be forwarded.

Thanks, I’ve been over-complicating things again.
I use Livemail, yet have also added Thunderbird, Bluemail, and Mailbird clients to seperate business from personal emails.
I’ll use this as a ‘Wake up’ call to simplify my email routine.
Since my reply to Scarletioshub I’ve looked at buying more domains because of the issues of pointing one domain to several hosts even if I use sub-domains such as MLM.mydomainname, and AI.mydomainname
As long as Getresponse, or System (if I move to them) allow me to have 4 or 5 email accounts I’m hoping I’ll be OK.
The only good thing to come out of the Chasing My Tail malarky is I’ve got a lot of content for my blogs and ezines:laughing:
