Business email should use your own domain, clear DNS records and a migration plan that protects day-to-day communication. Confirm mailbox list, DNS access and cutover timing before you move.
What good business email looks like
Use addresses on your domain, enforce strong passwords or multi-factor options where available, and keep spam filtering and backups in place.
- name@yourdomain rather than free-mail aliases for customer work
- Shared mailboxes only when a team genuinely needs them
- Documented ownership of DNS and admin access
Migration checklist
Most problems come from incomplete mailbox lists or DNS changes made without a rollback plan.
- Export or inventory every active mailbox and alias
- Confirm MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC needs with the new host
- Schedule cutover outside peak communication hours
- Test send/receive on a pilot mailbox before full switch
