Why it matters
A business email (you@yourcompany.com) signals legitimacy instantly, improves email deliverability with proper authentication, and lets you manage employee accounts centrally instead of relying on personal inboxes.
What proper setup involves
Business email setup includes MX record configuration, SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication (critical for avoiding spam folders), and migrating existing mail/contacts from your old provider.
Business email setup checklist
