What are the benefits of having domain-based email addresses?

A domain-based email address, like info@your-business-name.com, helps you look more professional with customers and promotes your website and company. In fact, customers are 9 times more likely to choose a company with a professional email address.+ Every time you send an email from a domain-based address, you're putting your domain name in front of customers and encouraging them to visit your website.

And with each plan, you can create free ‘alias’ addresses – like one using your first name (keith@your-business-name.com) and others for different departments (sales@your-business-name.com) -- that all feed into a single inbox and make you look even more professional.
