Explore the service

An email address like yourname@gmail.com tells customers you are a small or temporary operation. yourname@yourcompany.com tells them you are an established business. Setting up professional email on your own domain is one of the cheapest ways to look more credible.

Why use your own domain for email?

  • Trust: customers and suppliers take branded emails more seriously.
  • Control: when staff leave, the mailbox stays with the company.
  • Consistency: every employee shares the same brand.
  • Deliverability: properly configured domains (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) are less likely to land in spam.

Option 1: Google Workspace

Google Workspace gives you Gmail on your domain plus Google's business apps.

Includes:

  • Gmail with your domain
  • Google Drive storage
  • Google Meet video calls
  • Docs, Sheets, Slides and Calendar
  • Admin console, two-step verification and device management

Best for: teams that collaborate on documents, hold online meetings and want everything in one familiar place.

Option 2: Business Email

A standard Business Email plan provides mailboxes on your domain that you use in a webmail, on your phone, or in Outlook.

Includes:

  • Mailboxes on your domain
  • Webmail and mobile access
  • Spam and virus filtering

Best for: businesses that mainly need reliable, professional email at a lower cost per user.

Quick comparison

  • Collaboration apps: Google Workspace includes them; Business Email does not.
  • Storage: Google Workspace offers more, shared with Drive.
  • Cost: Business Email is usually cheaper per mailbox.
  • Familiarity: Google Workspace feels like Gmail, which most staff already know.

Many companies mix the two: Google Workspace for managers and office staff, Business Email for others.
