An address that matches your name
Customers see your business name after the at sign, the same one that is on your website, your card and your van.
Services ยท Growth and care
New serviceBusiness email and domains in your name.
An address like hello at your business name, instead of a free personal account. We set up the mailboxes with a provider such as Google Workspace in an account you own, point your domain at it correctly, and add the records that tell other mail services your email is really from you.
The short version
- Your name at your domainMailboxes, shared addresses and forwarding, planned around how you work.
- You own the accountsThe domain and the email provider are registered to you, with you as the administrator.
- Provider fees are paid by youThe email provider and the domain registrar bill you directly.
- Scoped and quoted after a callA fixed price in writing before any work.
What you get
Email that looks like a real business.
A one time setup. When it is done, your email works at your own domain, on your phone and computer, and the accounts behind it belong to you.
A domain in your name
If you have a domain, we check who holds it and help you get it into an account you control. If you do not, we help you register one, with you as the owner.
Mailboxes with a provider
Google Workspace or a similar provider, opened in your account with you as administrator. One mailbox for each person who needs one.
Aliases and forwarding
Addresses such as hello, billing or bookings that deliver to the right mailbox or to several people, without paying for a mailbox each.
Delivery records set correctly
The domain records that route your mail and prove it is yours, known as MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC, added and checked.
Your website keeps working
Mail records are changed without touching the records your website depends on. We send test messages both ways before we call it done.
A plain handoff
A short record of what was set up and where, how to add a person or an alias later, and how to sign in on a phone and a computer.
How it works
From first call to handoff.
Nothing is changed on your domain until the scope and the price are agreed in writing.
A call and a look at the domain
We find out where the domain is registered, who can sign in, where email goes today and who needs an address. Then we send a written scope and a fixed price.
You open the accounts
You create the provider account with your own billing, or we do it alongside you, and you give us administrator access that you can remove afterward.
Mailboxes and records
We create the mailboxes and aliases, add the domain records and test sending and receiving. If old mail is moving across, that happens here.
Sign in and handoff
Each person signs in and sets their own password. You get the written record of the setup, and our access comes off when you say so.
Pricing
A written quote, before any work.
How the price is set
Scoped and quoted after a call.
The price depends on how many mailboxes and aliases are needed, whether the domain is already in an account you control, whether existing mail has to be moved from another service, and how many places currently send email in your name, such as a website form, a booking tool or a newsletter. The written scope lists every address we will create, the records we will change and one fixed price for the setup. The email provider and the domain registrar charge you directly, and those charges are not part of our price.
Good to know
- Provider fees are yours. Email providers usually charge for each mailbox, and the registrar charges to renew the domain. Both bill you directly, and we tell you the current plan before you sign up.
- Passwords stay with you. Each person sets their own password and their own two step sign in. We do not keep a copy of anyone's password.
- Delivery is not guaranteed. Correct records give your mail its best footing, but every receiving mail service makes its own decision about what reaches the inbox.
- We need access to the domain. Someone must be able to sign in where the domain is registered. If a former designer or employee holds it, recovering it comes first and depends on that company's process.
- Moving old mail is extra. Copying existing messages, contacts and calendars from another service is quoted as its own line, because it depends on how much there is and where it lives.
- What is not included. Ongoing administration, staff training beyond the handoff notes, device management, and archiving or retention rules for regulated records.
Changes after handoff, such as adding a person or a new alias, are simple to do yourself from the notes we leave, or ours at $75 per hour with an estimate agreed first.
Why it matters
Why it matters for your business.
The business owns it
Mailboxes belong to the business account, not to a personal login. When someone leaves, the address and its history stay.
Harder to imitate
Sender records tell other mail services which messages really come from your domain, which makes pretending to be you more difficult.
The right person gets it
Aliases and forwarding send billing questions, bookings and general inquiries to whoever handles them.
Why not keep using a free personal email address?
You can, and plenty of small businesses do. An address at your own domain looks established, stays with the business when people change, and lets you publish sender records, which a free address at someone else's domain does not allow. It is also the kind of address newsletter and booking tools expect you to send from.
Have you done this for a client?
Not yet. We run our own mail this way, at our own domain on Google Workspace, and that is the only example we have. This page shows no client examples and makes no claims about results.
Which provider do you set up?
Google Workspace is the one we use ourselves and know best. If you prefer a similar provider, or already pay for one, we will tell you on the call whether we can set it up properly. Either way the account is opened in your name and you are the administrator.
What does it cost each month?
That is set by the provider, not by us, and it is usually charged for each mailbox. Aliases and forwarding addresses normally do not need a paid mailbox of their own. We show you the provider's current plans before you sign up, and our price covers the setup only.
What do we need to supply?
A way to sign in where your domain is registered, a list of the people who need a mailbox, the shared addresses you want and who should receive them, and a payment method for the provider account, entered by you.
Will changing email break our website?
It should not. Mail uses its own records on the domain, and we change those without touching the ones your website uses. Before changing anything we note the existing records, so the earlier setup can be put back if something does not behave.
Can you move our old emails across?
Often, yes. Most providers offer tools for copying mail from another service. How well it goes depends on where the old mail lives and how much there is, so we look at it on the call and quote it as a separate line.
Our website form and newsletter send email too. Do they need anything?
Yes. Any service that sends in your name should be listed in your domain's sender records, or its messages are more likely to be treated as suspicious. We ask what sends email for you and include those services in the scope. See email newsletter setup
Still sending from a personal address?
Tell us your domain and who needs a mailbox. We will check how it is set up today and send a scope and a price in writing.
