We understand
Your email address is often the first impression you make. But if you've had the same one for years, it might be showing its age — an old AOL address, a string of numbers from your cable company, or a handle you picked back when the internet was new.
You've thought about changing it. And then you think about everyone who has your current address. The accounts tied to it. The fear of missing something important. So you stay put.
We built RealNames because we believe you deserve an email address you're proud of — without the headache of figuring out how to switch.
