Why Use Email on Your Own Domain?

An email address like info@yourdomain.co.uk looks far more professional than a free mailbox. It builds trust, improves brand recognition and keeps your business communications in one place.

Setting Up Email Hosting

• Log into your hosting control panel and create a new email account.
• Choose a strong password and mailbox quota.
• Copy the IMAP, POP and SMTP settings if you want to connect email clients.

Configuring DNS for Email

To ensure reliable delivery and protection against spoofing, you should configure MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. These records tell other mail servers which servers are allowed to send email on behalf of your domain.

Tips for Ongoing Management

• Enable spam filtering and automatic virus scanning.
• Use aliases and forwarding addresses to simplify workflows.
• Regularly back up important mailboxes.
