Create a business email address on your own domain: overview showing Domain, Mailbox, DNS connection

An address on your domain helps recipients recognise your business. It requires both a registered domain and a configured email service.

Choose a useful sender address

A first-name address suits personal contact and info@ suits general enquiries. Decide who reads the mailbox and whether shared-access features are actually required.

Connect the mail service carefully

The provider creates the mailbox and supplies MX and authentication instructions. Follow its SPF, DKIM and DMARC values rather than copying unrelated examples.

Separate costs and recovery

Our plan is one 15 GB mailbox for €2.70/month per selected domain, separate from registration. Keep independent recovery email and review final provider features before ordering.

Your practical checklist

  • Choose a clear mailbox name.
  • Activate the mailbox.
  • Check MX and sender authentication.
  • Keep independent recovery email.
In practice
Select email on .nl without also buying mail for a secondary .com domain.
