Do I Need a Domain for Email Hosting?

A professional email address is one of the best investments you can make in your business or charity. With domain email hosting you can take your enterprise to the next level and establish a professional point of contact for communication with customers or benefactors.

Why a professional email address matters

First impressions are everything when it comes to running a business or charity. Whether you’re publishing a monthly newsletter, submitting a grant application or simply liaising with a potential customer, generic email hosts like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo don’t cut the mustard when you’re running a professional business or charity. This is where professional domain email hosting steps up. Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Purchase and register your domain

Before you set up a professional email address, you’ll need to purchase a domain. You don’t necessarily need to use your domain to launch a website, but you do need to own the domain name.

This is because the domain name will appear at the end of your professional email address. For example, your registered domain will be yourcharity.co.uk and your professional email address will be support@yourcharity.co.uk.

Step 2: Find a professional email host provider

After your domain is registered you can use it to host a professional email address. Hosting is usually charged on a monthly basis, and you can choose how many email addresses to register.
