What is email hosting and why not use a free address for business?

Email hosting gives you mailboxes on your own domain, for example info@yourbusiness.com, instead of yourbusiness123@gmail.com.

Benefits

• Trust: customers take a business address seriously.
• Branding: every email advertises your name.
• Control: you decide who gets an address and can remove it at once when staff leave.
• Storage and features made for work, such as shared folders on some plans.

What you need

• A domain name
• An email hosting plan, or email included in your web hosting
• Correct DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM). See DNS records.

See our email hosting plans. To set up on a phone or Outlook, read email settings for Outlook and phones.
