How to choose email for your business domain
Business email uses your domain in the address. Start by identifying the people who need their own mailbox and the tasks they need beyond sending and receiving messages.
Separate a mailbox from an alias
A mailbox has its own stored mail and access. An alias routes another address to a mailbox; it is not necessarily a separate login or storage allocation. A shared address may need permissions and a supported shared-mailbox workflow rather than a shared password.
Compare the actual plan
- Storage per mailbox and any archiving requirements.
- Calendar, contact and collaboration needs.
- Whether desktop applications are included or licensed separately.
- Supported devices, administration and migration help.
- Initial term, renewal amount and number of paid users.
Plan the changeover
Moving mail providers may require mailbox migration and DNS changes. Preserve old mail before changing delivery records, and test incoming and outgoing mail from an external account. Avoid cancelling the old service before you know the new one works.
Compare current Cheapville Professional Email and Microsoft 365 options. Do not rely on an old article for a storage or alias count: the current plan and checkout details should agree before you purchase. Ask support to clarify any mismatch rather than assuming the larger advertised number applies.
Your next step
Compare business-email plans. Confirm current availability, inclusions and billing terms before purchasing.
