The bit nobody sees
Two quotes land in somebody’s inbox on the same afternoon. Same price, same work, same week free. One is from a firm’s own domain. The other is from a free webmail address with a number on the end.
Most of the time the second one does not get a reply, and nobody ever explains why. It is not snobbery. It reads as temporary.
Why new business email so often seems broken
Somebody buys a domain, sets up a mailbox, sends a test to themselves, and it works. Then real quotes start going to junk and nobody can see it happening because the sender never gets told.
The mailbox working and your post arriving are two different things, and only one of them is visible from your end.
That gap is SPF, DKIM and DMARC — three records that tell a receiving server your message is genuinely from you. Get them wrong and you look like a forgery. Leave them out and you look like nothing at all.

The free Domain Finder checks the names for your business and tells you what is actually free to register. No card, no sign-up.
Check a domain →What we actually do with the name
We will talk you out of the clever ones. Hyphens get lost over the phone, deliberate misspellings get typed correctly by everybody else, and anything long gets abbreviated by the person writing it down.
Short, spellable, and the same as what people already call you.
What you get
- A domain chosen with you and registered in your name, not ours
- A working mailbox on that domain, set up on your phone and your computer
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured, which is the part that decides whether your post lands in the inbox or the spam folder
- Your old address forwarded, so nothing in flight gets lost
- The login details handed over in writing
What this is not
- It is not a website. This is the address and the mailbox; a site is separate
- It is not a mailing platform. Sending a newsletter to a bought list is a different job and a different law
- It is not locked to us. The domain is yours and you can move it whenever you like
Common questions
Is a Gmail or Hotmail address really a problem?
It costs you jobs, quietly. On bigger jobs and anything commercial it is the difference between being shortlisted and being ignored. Nobody ever rings to tell you that was the reason.
Should I buy the .co.uk or the .com?
If you trade in the UK, .co.uk. Nobody here is confused by it and it often ranks better locally. Buy the .com as well if it is cheap and available, and point it at the same place — it stops somebody else having it. Avoid hyphens and clever spellings; you will be reading it out over the phone for the next ten years.
What is the £4.99 a month for?
The mailbox itself — the storage and the sending, per mailbox. The £39.99 is the one-off setup and the first year of the domain. You can stop the mailbox whenever you like.
Why does the DNS matter?
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are how a receiving mail server decides whether your message is really from you. Set up wrong — or not at all — and your quotes land in junk. It is the most common reason a new business email address appears not to work.
Who owns the domain if I stop working with you?
You do. It is registered in your name and we hand over the login rather than holding it hostage.
