Professional email means an address at your own name — like hello@yourbakery.com — that you can use in your browser, on your phone, or in Outlook and Gmail.
Why it matters
A branded email address looks more trustworthy than a free one.
Customers notice the difference between hello@yourbakery.com and yourname@gmail.com. A matching email and website tells people you're established and serious.
Get a domain first
You need a web address before you can have email at that address.
If you don't have a domain yet, search and register one with CortexGrip. If you already own one, connect it to your account in a couple of clicks.
Choose a plan
Pick the email plan that fits — or add Microsoft 365 if you want Word, Excel and Teams too.
Basic professional email covers most small businesses. Microsoft 365 is there if you want the full office suite bundled with your mailbox.
Use it everywhere
Set up your mailbox on your phone, laptop, or in your browser.
We guide you through connecting your email to the apps you already use. Once it's set up, sending and receiving works just like any other account.
Common questions
Yes. Many people forward their professional address to Gmail, or connect it so they can send from their branded address inside Gmail.
