Business Email Setup for Trade Businesses

A Gmail or Hotmail address for work sends the wrong signal. Customers notice. It suggests a side hustle, not a proper business. A professional email address on your own domain — you@yourcompany.co.uk — takes fifteen minutes to set up and costs almost nothing to run. The credibility difference is immediate.

I’ll configure everything: the inbox, the DNS records that keep you out of spam folders, and the connection to whichever email app you already use. You won’t need to learn anything new.

Your own domain email. Works with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail. SPF, DKIM, DMARC configured. £47 one-off setup.

What’s included

How it works

Step 1

Choose your email address

Decide what you want in front of the @. Most trade businesses go with their first name (aj@), their initials, or “info@” as a general enquiries address.

Step 2

DNS and hosting setup

I configure the DNS records on your domain and set up email hosting with a reliable provider. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are included — these are the records that stop your emails going to junk.

Step 3

Connect to your email app

I connect your new address to whichever email app you use. You can keep using Gmail if you like — your new address just sends and receives through it instead.

Pricing

Package What’s included Price
Business email setup One inbox, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, connected to your preferred email app, tested and handed over £47 one-off

Email hosting itself runs roughly £3–£5 per month depending on provider — I’ll recommend the best option for your needs. Additional inboxes can be added at a small extra charge.

Frequently asked questions

An address on your own domain. If your website is yourcompany.co.uk, your email becomes you@yourcompany.co.uk. You choose what goes in front of the @.
Yes. I’ll configure it to work with whichever email app you prefer — Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, or standard webmail. You won’t need to change how you work.
That’s rare once SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are set up correctly. I configure all three as part of the setup so your emails land in inboxes, not junk folders.
Usually a few hours once I have access to your domain DNS. DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate fully, but you’ll typically be sending and receiving the same day.
The £47 covers the setup. Email hosting itself costs roughly £3–£5 per month depending on provider — I’ll recommend the best option for your situation when we speak.
Yes. The £47 covers one inbox. Additional addresses — such as info@ or bookings@ — can be added for a small extra charge. Just ask when we speak.
