If you want your business to appear professional, you'll want a custom email address that matches your domain name. Besides being more professional, an email address with your domain name is more memorable and helps with brand recognition.
Does B12 provide email services?
Yes, B12’s email forwarding feature allows you to create custom email addresses that forward mail to another existing email.
(example: dan@danshotdogstand.com could forward to danshotdogstand@gmail.com)
Who else provides email services?
There are plenty of email service providers (ESPs) out there. You can use any email service for your domain that you'd like to and your B12 website will still work perfectly!
Some popular ESPs for small businesses include: Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365 for Business, Zoho Mail, or GoDaddy Email.
How do I connect my domain email to my website?
Typically, the ESP you choose will need to verify that you own or control the domain you want an email address for.
There are a few ways to verify you do control your domain. The most common is to add a TXT record to your domain's DNS configuration. The second most common is to add a meta-tag to your website's HTML code. Your ESP should provide you with instructions on how to complete these steps.
If B12 purchased your domain for you, you'll need help with one of these verification methods. Please contact a Customer Success team member through our Live chat or email hello@b12.io.
