There are a lot of options when it comes to email platforms and accounts. Sometimes it is a good idea to try something different. I decided to check out the zoho platform to see what it can offer. It did not disappoint at all. Even though this is not a self-hosted solution, I was still able to do a lot even on their free tier.
The free tier allows you to:
- Use one domain for custom emails.
- Create up to 5 user accounts under one domain.
Setup is extremely easy to do, and it requires a few steps. I currently host my domain through Cloudflare and all zoho asks you to do is insert a few records into your DNS resolver. After that, it will walk you through a few configuration steps and you are good to go.
You can have a professional email address with this setup. Another idea would be to create email addresses for different situations such as having one for financial institutions, one for social media, etc. The options and opportunities are limitless. I would give it a shot if you’re hosting a domain and need something professional for email.
