[email protected]: Professional Email on Your Domain

Gmail addresses cost you customers. Domain, mailbox, SPF/DKIM, and signature — the credible-business starter pack.

  1. 1. Get the domain and pick the platform

    Register yourbusiness.com if you haven't. For 1–2 people, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 Business Basic both work; for teams that live in Office, 365 wins. Price the per-user monthly honestly against looking amateur.

  2. 2. Point mail with MX records, then prove legitimacy

    Add the platform's MX records at your DNS host, then publish SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Skip this and your shiny new address lands in spam exactly like the Gmail one did — deliverability is DNS, not branding.

  3. 3. Create addresses, signature, and phone setup

    Make role addresses (info@, quotes@) as aliases or shared mailboxes — free, not extra users. Add a proper signature with phone and address, then connect phones via the official apps, not janky IMAP.
