Business Email

Starting a new business is a bold step, and in that journey, communication is key. In the bustling digital marketplace, your email isn’t just a means to communicate – it’s your business’s digital handshake. It’s the first impression you leave and a statement of your professionalism.

This is exactly why a domain-specific email isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’, it’s a non-negotiable business asset.

With our Business Email Setup Service, we ensure that your first point of contact with the world isn’t just reliable and secure, but also presents a professional first impression of your business.

Common FAQs

Got Some Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

We set up Google Workspace (Gmail for business) and Zoho Mail. Both are reliable, easy to use and work on your phone, tablet and computer.

We don’t set up Microsoft 365 (Outlook) at the moment. If you need Microsoft 365, we can point you to an IT partner who can help.

Yes. Your email address uses your domain (e.g. [email protected]), so you’ll need to own one. You don’t need a website, though. Plenty of businesses buy a domain, sort their email first and build the website later.

No domain yet? No worries. We’ll send you a guide with our recommendations, and help if you get stuck. The domain is registered in your name and you pay for it yourself, so it’s always yours.

No. Our fee covers the setup. Your email account is in your name, and you pay the provider (Google or Zoho) directly. That way you own it and stay in control, whether or not you work with us.

Each provider charges per user, per month. Check their websites for current pricing.

The following is included as part of the service:

  • Setup of your main email account
  • Up to three aliases (extra addresses that land in the same inbox, e.g. hello@ or accounts@)
  • The DNS records your provider needs, so your email works
  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, so your emails are trusted and less likely to end up in spam
  • Your website’s SMTP plugin (WordPress websites only), so emails from your website forms are sent properly
  • A bonus email signature template, with a guide to adding it in Google or Zoho

This is a basic setup, done once. It doesn’t include:

  • Moving old emails across from your current address
  • Extra users (more than one mailbox)
  • Ongoing support, troubleshooting or managing your account
  • Managing your billing with the email provider

Need any of these? Ask us. We can quote on it or refer you to a trusted IT partner.

An alias is another address that delivers to your inbox, like hello@ or bookings@. It’s free and great for looking a bit bigger than you are.

A user is a separate person with their own login and inbox. Providers charge for each user.

It’s simple, with everything set up in one online session:

  1. Book your online setup session and pay in one step.
  2. We send you a Getting Started Guide.
  3. In the session, we set everything up together and test it.
  4. We send your email signature template and a guide to adding it.

After you purchase, we’ll send you a Getting Started Guide with everything to have ready before your session.

The big one is your login details. Make sure you know where your domain is registered, and have the logins handy for your domain and your WordPress website (if you have one). Hunting for passwords is the biggest time-waster on the day.

You don’t need to send us any passwords.

Your setup is done in one online session. DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to fully update, so there may be a short wait before everything works. Your email signature template follows within one business day.

Yes. You can keep checking it, or set it to forward to your new address while people catch up. Just start using your new address everywhere: business cards, your website, your Google Business Profile and social media.

They’re settings on your domain that prove your emails really come from you. They help keep your emails out of spam folders, and make it harder for scammers to send emails pretending to be you. Google and Yahoo expect them, so they’re well worth having.

We don’t provide email technical support. Your first stop is your email provider’s support team (Google or Zoho). For trickier technical problems, we can refer you to a trusted IT partner.
