When a customer gets an email from info@yourbusiness.com instead of yourbusiness123@gmail.com, they trust you more. Setting up email on your own domain is easier than most people think.
Option 1: free forwarding
Services like Cloudflare Email Routing forward messages sent to info@yourbusiness.com to your existing Gmail or Outlook. Receiving is free; to reply from the same address you need to add sending settings in your mail app.
Option 2: a full business email service
Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho Mail give you real mailboxes, calendars and apps on your domain for a monthly fee per user. Best when several people need their own addresses.
Setup steps
- Choose your addresses, like info@, sales@ or your name.
- Add the mail records (MX) your email service gives you to your DNS.
- Add SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.
- Send test emails to Gmail and Outlook and check they arrive in the inbox.
- Set up the account on your phone.
Why SPF, DKIM and DMARC matter
These DNS records prove an email really comes from your domain. Without them, Gmail and others may mark your messages as spam, and scammers can more easily fake your address.
Tips
- Use the same domain as your website.
- Add your email to your website, Google Business Profile and invoices.
- Use a simple signature with your phone, WhatsApp and website.
