Business email setup, on your own domain

Mailboxes on your own domain, and the records that help your emails reach inboxes.

I'm Luke Duff, a web designer in Sunderland. I do business email setup on your own domain, so you're name@yourbusiness.co.uk, with the records that help your emails land in inboxes, not spam.

What I set up

  • Mailboxes for you and your staff, on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho, DreamHost or whatever you need.
  • Forwarding, so hello@ reaches the right person.
  • Your email on your phone and laptop.
  • The records that prove your email is really from you.
  • A test that your website's enquiry emails arrive.

The records that stop your email landing in spam

Google recommends (opens in a new tab) that you "always set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for your domains", and says email without them "might be marked as spam or rejected". I set up all three.

  • SPFThe list of services allowed to send email for your domain.
  • DKIMA signature on each email, proving it came from you and wasn't changed on the way.
  • DMARCTells other servers what to do with email that fails those checks, and can send you reports on who's sending as you.

Your website's enquiries, delivered

I set up the email records behind Digital You CIC's contact form, and their Microsoft 365 email kept working alongside them.

Form emails can come from your own domain, with the right records, so they're less likely to end up in spam. I set up the account that sends them, then send a test enquiry and check it arrives.

What it costs

The provider charges per mailbox. My set-up is priced after a call.

Once I know how many mailboxes you need and what's already there, I give you a price. I'm not VAT registered, so it's the total.

Questions about business email

How do I set up business email with my domain?

Pick a provider, prove you own the domain, add the records they give you, create the mailboxes, and set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Or I can do it for you.

How much does business email cost?

The provider charges per mailbox, depending on the plan. My set-up is priced after a call, with no VAT to add.

Do I need a business email address?

It helps. It looks more established than a Hotmail or Gmail address, and it stays with your domain, which is in your name from day one. More on who owns your domain and logins.

Already on email and something's wrong?

WhatsApp me and tell me what's happening. I also give help with your office tech.

How do I set up business email on Google Workspace?

Sign up with your domain, prove you own it (usually a TXT record), add Google's MX records so mail arrives in Gmail, then create a user for each person.
