Hello, 

I have a few questions to make sure I get started with Odoo. I am currently setting up a service company and I would like to set up a company information website for a few months and benefit from Odoo's free offer. When the company is going to be set up, I will switch to the paid subscription to create a merchant site.


For the domain name and the email of the company I don't know what strategy to take. Would it be better to buy a domain name with an external provider, associate the Domain with an email provider (eg Google) and then create my Odoo account and associate this address and the domain or is it better to register the domain with Odoo when creating the website and then associate the domain with Google?


My goal is to make sure that the email address works well with the website to receive notifications (eg information form on the site). Also I want to avoid having two professionals email accounts (one as an Odoo user and my professional email). I don't know if it's clear :) Thank you!

Thanks Axel for your answer. It's helpfull. What was confusing me it's that Odoo offering a free Domain name.

Like Niyas Raphy point out it seems that indeed it's offering a free domain name at least for one year. I wasn't aware of that. I still recommend you to directly buy the domain by yourself to be the owner of the domain

I don't think you will be able to buy a domain with Odoo when creating a database, you will be able to pick an available custom subdomain like viardot.odoo.com and you could associate latter your custom domain to that Odoo subdomain. 

So if you are planning to use a custom domain go and but it from an external DNS Provider like Google and setup an email service in your domain like Google Workspace to be latter use it with you Odoo created database.

Hope I have made it more clear for you
