It's not uncommon, at least down here, to see @aol or @bellsouth e-mail addresses printed on vans for small businesses. |

said by Jim Gurd:I've seen law firms with an @aol.com e-mail address. I have seen em with a HOTMAIL address. And yes, I skip businesses with hotmail addresses or the likes, and move on to the next google hit.
It just doesn't look professional. And with domain hosting being CHEAP as DIRT, why shouldn't you have your own domain for your business? You probably will have paid for an entire year of hosting if you can reel in just ONE client more. |

I deal with MANY attorney's and the few that actually do have those addresses want to dump them either because they sparked the right combination of brain cells together, or they finally were told at a business seminar to dump the "service" domain.
