As someone who makes money on the side doing blackhat seo stuff, I need plenty of email addresses to get my work done in an efficient and profitable matter. I also see a lot of people on the forums here and on other suspension forums wondering how to get around gmail SMS verifications, gmail lock-outs, hotmail account creators, etc etc etc all to get a few extra email accounts that you will use for your new stealth eBay/Amazon accounts.
Well, what I have been doing for the past few months is simply creating custom email addresses using my various domains/websites I have hosted among different hosting providers.
For example, I will use GoDaddy to start even though they are perhaps the worst to use for email (not because of the quality, but because you are limited in the amount of email accounts you can make (min = 100) ).
Heres what you wanna do:
- Go to GoDaddy and register a new domain name, call it something clever and original but not TOO original that it stands out too much. I usually go with something like "yourdailynews" or "dailydosenews" or something along those lines, use your imagination.
- Registering the domain will cost different amounts depending on what type of domain you get (meaning whether you get a ".com" or a ".org", etc. ".com" is the most expensive right now at $11.99/year, and ".info" is the cheapest at $1.99/year (I usually use this).
- After you register your domain and get your confirmation email, buy a economy hosting plan from GoDaddy to go along with it ($4.99/month when I bought it). With that you will receive the following features:
- 100 Email Accounts to use at your domain. For example, "randomname@yourdomain.info" with whatever random name you wish to use.
- Each email account is created separately, no need to make 100 email accounts at once.
- The email accounts all work with your favorite email client!
Now, you dont
NEED to create a website with the hosting plan, but you might want to if you're paranoid that eBay/Amazon will do a check on your email address to see if it comes from a legit website.
Or, you could simply have your domain forward to some legitimate website with masking, so it still appears to have your domain as the title, but its a totally different website.
My way of doing it
Now, the reason I say GoDaddy isn't the best for this isn't because they are a bad host or anything, its simply because they limit the amount of email accounts with each hosting plan, and I
hate any type of limit a hosting provider puts on me on something so remedial.
What I recommend is going over to a different shared hosting provider like Hostgator, JaguarPC, etc and getting yourself a shared hosting plan along with a domain name.
I also recommend always getting
cPanel as your control panel for your website/hosting plan. Mainly because its so easy to use and user friendly that I can't see myself using any other control panel. It's also ridiculously easy to create new email accounts in cPanel too.
With most hosting plans outside of GoDaddy, they allow you to have various "unlimited" features, and 99% of the time email accounts are among the "unlimited" features you have. This means you can create as many email accounts as you want in your control panel (hopefully cPanel), and delete, merge, mess with them as you please.
All of this will usually never cost you over $10/month if you buy from a popular hosting provider (Hostgator, for example), so its not really putting a dent anywhere in your wallet for that matter.
Anywho, I just thought I'd share my way of getting unlimited email accounts without having to call anyone, get any SMS messages, or any enter stupid captchas with the rest of you goons
