Business email on your own domain, such as [email protected], builds trust and gives you control over accounts. Popular hosted options include Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Zoho Mail. Choose by the tools your team uses, then set up the domain records, create accounts, turn on two-step login and migrate old mail. Good setup reduces spam and spoofing of your domain.
