What it is

Business Email, plainly.

A custom email address at your domain is the most important brand touchpoint you have. Every quote you send, every customer reply, every vendor relationship runs through it. A Gmail.com or Yahoo.com address tells customers, partners, and lenders that the business is either new, casual, or unserious.

Setting up real business email used to mean a few painful days of MX records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, IMAP versus POP, and trying to get Gmail to accept mail without bouncing to spam. We do all of that automatically when your domain is registered with us, and we have a guided import if your domain is elsewhere.

Each mailbox includes 50 GB of storage (enough for years of email), full calendar with scheduling links, contacts that sync across devices, mobile and desktop apps for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows, plus enterprise-grade anti-spam and phishing protection. Aliases and forwarding are unlimited; group addresses (sales@, hello@) are unlimited.

Who this is for

Common situations.

New foundersReplace gmail.com on day one. Customers, banks, and lenders notice.
Small teamsAdd a mailbox per person, plus shared inboxes for sales@, support@, hello@.
Professional servicesLawyers, accountants, consultants. The email signature is the brand.
E-commerce sellersGet out of personal inbox hell. Customer email goes to support@, order alerts to ops@.
Rebranding companiesForward old addresses to new automatically. Nobody loses an email during the switch.
Distributed teamsSingle source of truth across timezones, with mobile apps that work offline.

FAQ

Common questions.

Can I keep my @gmail.com address running while I switch?
Yes. Forward your old Gmail to your new inbox while you tell people about the change. Most founders switch fully within 30 to 60 days.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Standard iOS Mail, Android Gmail, Outlook mobile, Apple Mail desktop, Outlook desktop, Thunderbird, all work. We use standard IMAP and SMTP.
How much storage do I get?
50 GB per mailbox. Most users never come close to filling it.
Can I have multiple aliases on one mailbox?
Yes, unlimited. You can have hi@, hello@, founder@, you@ all delivering to one mailbox.
What is DMARC and why does it matter?
DMARC tells receiving email providers (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) what to do with mail that fails authentication. Configured right, your mail lands in inboxes. Configured wrong, it lands in spam. We configure it correctly.
Can I migrate from Google Workspace or Outlook?
Yes. Our guided IMAP migration moves your last 12 months by default; we can extend it on request.
Is the data encrypted?
In transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). We are SOC 2 Type II certified.
What happens if I cancel?
Your mailboxes stay accessible for 30 days, during which you can export all your mail to MBOX. After that, data is purged.
Is there a calendar?
Yes. Full calendar with scheduling links, recurring events, shared calendars, meeting invites, and CalDAV/iCal support for sync to phones.
Are there per-domain limits?
You can use one mailbox plan across as many domains as you own. So sales@brand1.com and sales@brand2.com can both forward to one inbox.
