An email address using your own domain helps customers connect each message with your business. It keeps your communication consistent with the name they see on your website, invoices and other business material.
Mailbox nameChoose a useful address for a person, role or department.
Your domainUse the same recognisable business name across your email addresses.
Do not have a domain yet?Find and register a domain namebefore setting up your mailboxes.
A personal address can work, but the email provider’s domain receives more visual attention than your business name.
Your business name remains visible whenever you send a message, making your address easier to recognise and remember.
Business email depends on more than the address customers see. Domain authentication, server-side filtering and encrypted connections work together to support safer, more dependable communication.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC records give receiving mail systems information they can use to assess whether a message is authorised to use your domain.
These records support email authentication, but no configuration can guarantee that every message will reach the recipient’s inbox.
Incoming messages pass through server-side checks designed to identify common signs of unwanted or suspicious email.
Filtering can reduce spam, but it cannot block every unwanted message or determine the intention behind every email.
Secure webmail and encrypted connection options help protect login details and email traffic between supported devices and the PalmHost mail server.
Encryption protects supported connections in transit; it does not replace strong passwords or careful handling of suspicious messages.
We help you prepare the mailboxes, connect your domain and understand what happens next. If you already use business email, we will first review the existing setup before recommending a migration approach.
