Subject: Tech: Building a Website + Email
Looks like I'm the Webmaster for our cohousing project. I inherited a GoDaddy Website, and one Gmail e-mail address that is linked to a member's personal account. The Web pages are *.php files. I don't know anything about PHP, but I found I could copy an existing page and insert HTML instead of the previous data, and it worked just fine.

I tried setting the Gmail account to it could be accessed by the various committee members who needed to use it, but I could not find a good way to share a Gmail address without compromising the owner's Google account information. Can anybody tell me how to set up shared Gmail accounts?

When I've purchased domain names in the past, they came with a large number of email addresses - at least a hundred, sometimes more. But this GoDaddy domain name isn't like this. It appears to supply one free email address - IF I put it on Microsoft 365. Additional email addresses have a monthly fee. Is anybody familiar with a way to get free email addresses with a domain name from GoDaddy.

I inherited a GoDaddy website for another organization a few years ago, and I found it too difficult to deal with GoDaddy. Eventually, I moved the Website to my personal Network Solutions hosting package. It took me a bit longer to transfer the domain name to Network Solutions, but I did it.

So, my current plan is to transfer the domain name to Network Solutions and use their email, and use the hosting package I already have. But does anyone have any experience with GoDaddy and how I can get email at a reasonable price from them without having to buy into Microsoft 365?

Thanks.
