What is it and how do I create my own domain email account?

What is an email with its own personalized domain? 

A custom self-domain email is an email address that uses a company or individual's domain name instead of using a generic email provider, such as Gmail or Yahoo. 

For example, instead of having an e-mail address like "nombredelempleado@gmail.com", an email with your own personalized domain could be "nombredelempleado@tunegocio.com",where "tunegocio.com" is the domain name of the company or website. 

It may seem like an unimportant detail, but you'd be amazed at the number of benefits it can bring to your company: 

• Generate an excellent first impression: the image of seriousness and professionalism is crucial for success in the workplace, and this also applies to email communication. While those who use emails with generic domains go unnoticed, companies and freelancers who opt for an email with their own domain not only ensure that they are immediately recognized, but also convey a high level of professionalism. For example: 

• nombredelempleado@tunegocio.es  

• informacion@tunegocio.es  

• servicio@tunegocio.es  

• It is brief and easy to remember: An email with its own domain allows you to register simple and memorable addresses. This facilitates their retention and avoids mistakes when typing them by customers or suppliers. 

• No advertising: free accounts often include advertising and are attractive targets for spam. On the other hand, an email with its own domain is based on a paid system, which ensures the absence of advertising and reduces the risk of spam. 

• Increased security: free accounts are favorite targets of cybercriminals and are highly vulnerable to phishing attacks, viruses and Trojans. Accounts with their own domain offer greater resistance to these types of threats. 

• It is durable: an email with its own domain guarantees independence from the email provider. If the provider changes its offer or if the company ceases to exist, the owner of the domain will not be affected and can move to another provider without any problems. 

Step by step to implement your own domain for your email 

Below is a step-by-step guide: 

1. Choose an email service provider: research reliable providers that offer email services with their own domain. Popular examples include Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail and FastMail. 

2. Subscribe to the e-mail service: visit the web site of the e-mail provider of your choice and select the appropriate plan for your needs. Follow the instructions to subscribe to the service and set up your account. You will be able to choose the duration of the plan, the number of accounts you need and many other features. 

3. Register a domain: after subscribing to the email service, you will need to register a domain name that reflects your identity or your business. You can use domain registration services such as GoDaddy, Namecheap or Google Domains. Follow the provider's instructions to search for and register an available domain. In addition, some of these tools also offer the ability to check domain availability. 

4. Complete the process: once you have your own domain and you have selected the optimal plan according to your needs, configure secondary information to finish the process. 

If you have come this far, you already know everything you need to have your own email domain, don't hesitate and continue digitizing your SME.
