Professional email at your own domain.

We set up you@yourcompany.ca and configure it properly: your mailbox, plus the DNS records that help mail from your domain get trusted and reach inboxes. You send and receive as your company, not a free webmail address.

Who this is for

Any business still using a personal email address for customers.

If customers see a free webmail address when you quote a job, this is the fix. It also suits businesses that have a domain but never got email working right. Need addresses for a partner or office manager? Extra mailboxes are available.

What we do

What we do, in order.

01

We set up your mailbox

We create your address on your own domain, such as you@yourcompany.ca.

02

We configure the DNS records

We add the records that tell other mail systems your domain's email is legitimate, so your messages are more likely to be trusted and land in inboxes.

03

We connect it to what you already use

We set it up so you can send and receive from the email app you already use, including on your phone.

04

We test it

We send and receive test messages to confirm the mailbox works in both directions before we hand it over.

Real result, not a promise

One month after launch, a client's new site outranked established competitors in its own town.

beyondthebrushpainting.ca, a painting business we built and launched, ranked 1st to 3rd in organic Google search results in Welland, Ontario for three separate painting-related searches — one month after it went live. We are not claiming you will rank #1 for everything; we are showing you the one town where we can already point at the search results.

What we need from you

What we need from you.

  • The domain you want your email on, or confirmation that it's the one we built your site on
  • The address or addresses you want, for example you@ or office@
  • Access to your domain's DNS settings if we don't already manage them
  • Your phone or email app, so we can walk you through connecting it

Questions

Can I get more than one mailbox?

Yes. Extra mailboxes are available for a partner, an office manager or a shared address like office@. Ask us when you order.

Will my email always reach the inbox?

We can't guarantee that for any sender. Receiving servers make their own decisions. Setting up your domain's records correctly is what gives your mail the best footing.

What happens to my old email address?

Nothing. It keeps working. You can use both while you move customers over to the new address.
