Set up professional business email

Email from name@yourbusiness.com looks far more professional than a free address, and it protects your brand. Every paid plan includes a professional mailbox at your domain with the DNS handled for you — and if you'd rather use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, you can connect those instead.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Pick your address

    Choose the mailbox name at your domain — for example hello@yourbusiness.com. Your plan's included mailbox is provisioned for you, no separate email company to sign up with.

  2. 2

    Let LimeOrigin handle the DNS

    The exact records your mail needs are generated for your domain and verified for you, so your email sends and arrives reliably. You never open a DNS editor.

  3. 3

    Add aliases and teammates

    Add aliases like info@ and sales@, and give teammates their own mailboxes. Upgrade storage or add more mailboxes any time — billed alongside everything else on one account.

  4. 4

    Or connect Microsoft 365 / Google

    Already use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace? Connect and manage them from LimeOrigin instead — the DNS is still generated and verified for you.

Best practices

  • Use a shared alias (like hello@) for general enquiries so nothing depends on one person.
  • Set up your mailbox on your phone and desktop with the guided device configuration.
  • Add teammates their own addresses rather than sharing one login.

Common mistakes

  • Handing out a free @gmail address on your marketing — a mailbox at your own domain is included, so use it.
  • Forgetting you can have email without a website — a domain plus a mailbox is a perfectly valid setup.
