Why your business should use email on its own domain
Short answer: An address on your own domain builds trust and stays with you if you change providers. Create it in cPanel in a few minutes.
Customers trust sales@yourbusiness.com more than a random free address. It also stays yours if you ever change provider.
Why it matters
An address on your own domain tells customers you are a real business. You can move to another provider and keep the same address.
What to do
- Create the mailboxes you need. See Create an email account.
- Use a few role addresses (info, sales, support) and forward them to real people.
- Check SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your mail reaches the inbox.
- Put the address on your website, cards and invoices.
Do not
- Do not share one password between several people.
- Do not send bulk newsletters from a hosting mailbox. Use a sending service.
