See my email address? It's actually sent from Gmail. BUT, I have my own
hosted website (with its own SMTP server).

Without your own SMTP server, Gmail will always send your email as "
someone@×××××.com on behalf of someone@××××××××××.com".

After you have your own publicly accessible SMTP server, configure Gmail to
send email via your SMTP server, then make the alternate account as your
default account.

You can also configure your domain's SMTP server to not store your emails
locally, but forward to your Gmail account. This way, everything will be
handled through a single interface, i.e., Gmail's.
