Email Hosting

Professional email that builds trust and credibility. We set up business email on custom domains ([email protected]) with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or custom hosting solutions.

No more @gmail.com addresses undermining professional image. Just clean, branded email that works reliably and scales.

Platform Options​

Choosing the right email platform depends on what tools teams already use and budget. Google Workspace works for most businesses, Microsoft 365 makes sense for those in the Microsoft ecosystem, and private hosting offers a budget-friendly option for simpler needs.

Best for: Most businesses, especially using Google tools

  • Gmail interface
  • 30GB-5TB storage/user
  • Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar
  • Google Meet
  • Mobile apps
  • 99.9% uptime

Cost: $6-18 AUD/user/month (billed by Google)

Microsoft 365​

Best for: Businesses using Microsoft products

  • Outlook client
  • 50GB-100GB storage
  • Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Teams
  • Desktop and mobile apps
  • 99.9% uptime

Cost: $6-22 AUD/user/month (billed by Microsoft)

Private Email Hosting​

Best for: Budget-conscious or simple needs

  • cPanel or Webmail
  • 10GB-50GB storage
  • Basic spam filtering
  • IMAP/POP3/SMTP
  • Works with any client

Cost: $3-8 AUD/user/month (managed by us)

Pricing​

Email hosting costs split between our setup and management fee and the platform's monthly cost. Setup is one-time, management is optional but provides ongoing support for technical issues, and platform fees go directly to Google, Microsoft, or the hosting provider.

Setup Fee: $300-$800 AUD (one-time)
Monthly Management: $3-5 AUD/user/month
Email Platform Cost: $3-22 AUD/user/month (paid to provider)

Example (5 users on Google Workspace):

  • Setup: $500 AUD (one-time)
  • Monthly: $55-115 AUD (management + Google fees)

Engagement Models​

Most businesses choose setup with ongoing management for peace of mind—we handle all technical issues, updates, and user changes. If you have technical staff who can manage email internally, setup-only gets you configured properly from the start.

Setup + Monthly Management​

Includes DNS configuration, migration, training, ongoing support.

Setup Only​

One-time setup and training. 30-day support for questions.

Pricing: $300-$800 AUD

Migration Only​

Move from one email provider to another.

Pricing: $200-$600 AUD

Process​

Email setup requires careful DNS configuration to ensure deliverability and security. We handle all the technical details—MX records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC—so email works reliably from day one and doesn't end up in spam folders.

Planning (Week 1)​

  • Assess current email setup
  • Recommend platform
  • Plan user accounts
  • Identify migration needs

Setup (Week 1-2)​

  • Configure DNS (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
  • Set up platform
  • Create accounts
  • Configure security and spam filtering
  • Set up aliases and forwarding
  • Test sending/receiving

Migration (Week 2, if applicable)​

  • Export from old provider
  • Import to new system
  • Verify transfer
  • Update contacts

Training (Week 2-3)​

  • Team training
  • Email client setup (Outlook, Apple Mail, mobile)
  • Documentation
  • Ongoing support

What We Need​

Email setup requires domain access and a list of users. If you're migrating from an existing provider, we'll need credentials to export your current emails and contacts. The whole process is straightforward once we have the necessary access.

Initial:

  • Domain and registrar access
  • User list and desired addresses
  • Current email access (if migrating)
  • Billing info for platform

Migration:

  • Current email credentials
  • Important folders to preserve

Why Email on Your Domain Matters​

Using free email services like Gmail or Yahoo for business looks unprofessional and hurts deliverability. Custom domain email builds credibility, improves inbox placement, and provides full control over communication.

Credibility:

  • Professional appearance
  • Shows business legitimacy
  • Easier to remember

Deliverability:

  • Higher inbox placement vs. Gmail/Yahoo
  • Better reputation for marketing emails

Control:

  • You own the domain and accounts
  • Better security and compliance
  • Can't lose access to provider policy changes
Deliverability Standards

Properly configured email (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) achieves 98%+ inbox delivery rate.
