An e-mail like info@yourbusiness.in looks more professional than a free address and keeps all customer mails under your business name.
The main options
- E-mail from your domain company: many registrars include one or more basic mailboxes or e-mail forwarding.
- Professional e-mail services: well-known office suites and dedicated mail services charge per user per month and include calendars, storage and good spam protection.
- Forwarding only: mail to info@yourbusiness.in is forwarded to your existing Gmail or other inbox. Cheap and simple, but replies may still come from your old address unless set up.
How setup works
The e-mail service gives you a few DNS records (MX, and usually SPF, DKIM and DMARC). You add them at your domain company. Your website records and e-mail records live side by side, so your website keeps working.
Tips
- Create role addresses like info@, sales@ or support@ that stay with the business when staff change
- Turn on two-step login
- Add SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your mails do not land in spam
The website itself does not need e-mail hosting: enquiries from Sunsilva contact forms arrive in your account.
