An address on your own domain looks professional and inspires more trust than a free mailbox. It also strengthens your brand with every message you send.
What does this mean in practice?
Business email is an address on your own domain, such as contact@jouwbedrijf.nl, instead of a free address such as jouwbedrijf@gmail.com. Your email can run on the hosting server or through services such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
Why does this matter for your business?
An address on your own domain looks professional, builds trust and strengthens your brand with every message. You also stay in control. The mailboxes belong to your business, not to an employee or a personal account.
Examples and best practices
- Create addresses by role, such as info@, contact@ and invoices@.
- Set up a signature with your company details and a link to your website.
- Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your emails don't end up in spam.
- Use the same domain as for your website.
