How To Create Free Domain Email

A couple of years ago, G Suite was my preference for a service that could create domain-specific email addresses for business. However, last year they ended the free sign-up option, and now you have to pay for each email account that you sign up for on GSuite.

For those who are looking for an email account that is free and domain-specific there are two options like using your domain service provider, using cPanel for an email account for free or by using Zoho mail.

I came across Zoho's free domain email address feature few days ago and it's a feature that you'll enjoy. They also offer the option of a premium version (With added features) however, for more than 10 users then the free option will meet your needs. In this step-by-step guide, I'll explain how to set your own domain Email address for free with ZohoMail.

Step-by-Step Guide to create Business Email with ZohoMail:

The process of signing up and setting it up is easy, and it took me about 7 minutes to complete the steps. To start you can visit their no-cost mail signup page and input your personal email addresses for your domain.

Click Add Domain and on the next screen complete the form to sign up. You can choose to add an email account of any type (For instance, here I have included "admin"), you can also use your name or any other name. You can add additional email accounts to our free program.

In the following page you'll be notified of your subscription to the free basic plan. Here's a screenshot of the confirmation page I received.

Verifying Domain Ownership on ZohoMail:

Simply click on "Proceed to verify domain ownership" and you'll be directed to the webpage to verify ownership of the domain. There are three options available the moment "CNAME, TXT and HTML file upload". HTML is the easiest method since you only have to download and upload an image to your root server. Furthermore, HTML verification is the most efficient.

It is possible to use FTP on the cPanel FTP management tool or the FileZilla on your computer to link to your website server. This is a step-by-step guide for getting familiar with FileZilla FTP.

After you have verified your domain by using one of these three methods, you'll receive a message of success like below. You will need to proceed with your set-up of your company email.

Complete the update MX record for Zoho business email setup:

One of the most important things you must take to allow your business email is to update your MX record. Click on Change MX Record that will reveal the MX record you'll need to set up to allow it on your site.

In this instance my site is hosted by HostGator which is why I just log in to my HostGator cPanel Click on MX under the section for mail, then select the domain name in the next page. All you have to do is include the MX record that is displayed in the Zoho domain page for email configuration.

After you have created an MX account, you can go through the Zoho domain configuration and complete the setup.

When you're done you'll be on your personal dashboard which you are able to access at any time. Zoho is a fantastic option to manage corporate emails, such as branding domain aliases, domain branding as well as spam filters and other.
