In this guide, I’ll take you through the process of setting up custom business emails with Zoho Mail, empowering you to establish a strong and credible online presence for your business.
Let’s dive in and unlock the power of personalized email communication with Zoho Mail.
Prerequisites
Before you begin setting up custom business emails with Zoho Mail, ensure you have the following:
1. Domain Name: You need to own a domain name (e.g., yourbusiness.com) or have access to its DNS settings. You can register on Namecheap or Zoho if you don’t have one yet.
2. A personal email account. Gmail or Proton Mail will do.
Take note that Zoho doesn’t allow cold email marketing. If you are looking for cold email, you can setup Docker Mailserver, iRedMail, mailcow, aaPanel or CyberPanel.
Now, let’s proceed with the step-by-step guide.
