Business Email

you@yourcompany.com, set up so it actually lands.

A Gmail or Yahoo address on a quote looks like a side hustle. Business email on your own domain looks like a company. We set it up properly, including the authentication records that decide whether your quotes and invoices reach the inbox.

Your quote can be perfect and still never get read if it lands in the spam folder.

What you get

Business Email, built properly.

you@yourcompany.com with the records set so your mail lands.

The four records that decide whether your email reaches the inbox.

Email on your domain

Addresses for you, your office and shared inboxes like estimates@ or billing@, on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.

Authentication done right

SPF, DKIM and DMARC records configured and tested. Google and Yahoo now require these for senders, and they're the difference between inbox and spam.

Everything that sends, aligned

Your CRM, invoices, website forms and marketing tools all authorized to send as your domain, without breaking each other.

Shared inboxes and aliases

One place for estimates, billing and support, so a customer email never sits in a former employee's inbox.

Migration without loss

Existing mail, contacts and calendars moved over from your old provider.

Security basics

Two-step sign-in and admin controls so a stolen password doesn't become a stolen business.

Examples

What you get, shown on a made-up company.

Each example is built for a fictional business, with made-up names, (555) 010 numbers and the example.com domain. Yours is built around your own services, seasons and tools.

Example for a fictional businessexample.com · authentication check
  • SPFThe sending server is on example.com's list of approved senders
    spf=pass
  • DKIMThe message is signed by example.com and arrived unchanged
    dkim=pass
  • DMARCThe From address lines up with SPF and DKIM; policy is quarantine
    dmarc=pass

Authentication-Results: mx.receiver.example; spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=example.com; dkim=pass header.d=example.com header.s=s1; dmarc=pass (p=QUARANTINE) header.from=example.com

example.com · TXT
v=spf1 include:_spf.mailhost.example include:_spf.crm.example -all
s1._domainkey.example.com · TXT
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0B…
_dmarc.example.com · TXT
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@example.com
Three passes in the message headers, and the three DNS records behind them. Every tool that sends as the domain (the CRM, invoices, website forms, the marketing tool) has to be in SPF and signing with DKIM.

A week before

  • List every address, alias and shared inbox: owner@, office@, estimates@, billing@
  • List every tool that sends as example.com: the CRM, invoicing, website forms, the marketing tool
  • Add example.com to the new provider and prove you own it with a TXT record
  • Create the mailboxes and aliases, with two-step sign-in on for every user

The day before

  • Copy old mail, contacts and calendars into the new mailboxes
  • Shorten the time to live on the MX records so the switch takes hold sooner

Switch night

  • Point the MX records at the new provider
  • Publish SPF with every sender, turn on DKIM signing, start DMARC at p=none with reports

The week after

  • Copy anything that landed in the old mailboxes during the switch
  • Send test messages to Gmail and Outlook and check for three passes
  • Move DMARC to p=quarantine once reports show only your own senders, then cancel the old service
The order matters more than the speed. Mail keeps flowing the whole time, and the old service is cancelled last.

What you keep if you leave

Stop working with us, and this stays yours.

It's the same ownership list as on how pricing works, and it goes in writing on every quote.

  • Your domain, registered in your company's name, with you as the owner
  • Every login, in a password manager you control

For comparison: Hibu's Smart Sites terms say "The Domain Name we provide for your website will be registered to us," with a transfer to your name on request (paragraph 8(b), read November 2026).

Questions

Business Email, answered.

Do I need my own domain?

Yes. A domain like yourcompany.com is the foundation for your website and your email. We register it in your company's name, or move it into your name if someone else registered it for you.

Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?

Both work well. If your team lives in Gmail and Google Calendar, Workspace is the easy choice. If you rely on Outlook, Word and Excel, Microsoft 365 is usually better. We'll recommend one based on how you work.

What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

They're DNS records that prove email from your domain is really from you. SPF lists who may send for your domain, DKIM signs each message, and DMARC tells receiving servers what to do with mail that fails. Without them, your mail is far more likely to be marked as spam. See what yours say with the free email domain check.

Will I lose my old email?

No. We migrate existing mail, contacts and calendars, and plan the switch so nothing is lost in between.

What does business email cost elsewhere?

As listed on the vendors' own pages on November 3, 2026: Google Workspace is $7, $14 or $22 a user a month for Business Starter, Standard and Plus, before tax, with an introductory discount for new customers. Hostinger shows mailboxes from $0.39 a month, but that rate means paying for 48 months up front ($18.72), and it renews at $1.59 a month. Microsoft's pricing pages didn't load for us that day, so Microsoft 365 isn't priced here. The mailbox fee is the small part. The work is the records: SPF, DKIM and DMARC for every tool that sends as you, old mail moved over, and a switch that loses nothing. We quote ours in writing.

When we're not the right call

Sometimes the cheaper tool is the right one.

If one of these is you, buy it instead. We'd rather say so now than quote you something you don't need.

You need one mailbox and you're comfortable editing DNS records

Buy it direct. Google Workspace lists Business Starter at $7 a user a month before tax (read November 2026).

Your mail already passes SPF, DKIM and DMARC

Then you don't need us for this, and keeping what you have costs nothing extra. Run the free email domain check on your domain, then send yourself a message at another provider and read its full headers; SPF, DKIM and DMARC explained shows what to look for.
