Use email on your own domain, like [email protected]. It looks more professional, many tender and procurement processes expect it, and the business keeps control of its mailboxes when staff leave.
Why a domain email wins
- Trust: customers and suppliers take [email protected] more seriously than a free address.
- Tenders: procurement teams often look for a company email on bids and profiles.
- Control: you create and close staff mailboxes yourself.
- Brand: every email advertises your website.
Can I still use the Gmail app?
Yes. You can read and send your business email in the Gmail app, Outlook or your phone’s mail app. See how to set up business email on Android and iPhone.
Avoid the common problems
- Full mailbox: when it fills up, new mail bounces. Archive old mail or choose a plan with larger mailboxes.
- Mail going to spam: usually fixed with correct SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. Read why business emails go to spam.
- Outlook sending errors: make sure “outgoing server requires authentication” is ticked.
What it costs
Business email is included with every JomeTech hosting plan from $2.99 a month, or as an email-only plan. See business email hosting.
Switching from Gmail
Register your domain, create mailboxes, set up your devices, then tell contacts your new address. Keep the old Gmail for a few months and forward important mail. We can set it up for you.
