After all, you want to be taken seriously. An email address like jan010@gmail.com can seem frivolous or unprofessional and is not the impression you want to leave. On the other hand, an email address like jan@yourcompany.com demonstrates professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It shows that you have taken the time to present yourself and your company seriously. This not only instills trust in customers, business partners, and suppliers, but also shows that you have an eye for detail and understand the value of a strong brand image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"free-email-services-like-gmail-and-hotmail-are-not-suitable-for-business-purposes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free email services like Gmail and Hotmail are not suitable for business purposes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gmail<\/strong> and <strong>Hotmail<\/strong> (now Outlook.com) are popular free email services offered by Google and Microsoft, respectively. These services are easy to use and offer ample storage space, important security features, and integration with other online services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting up a free email address is often simple, but not always professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-create-my-own-business-email\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I create my own business email?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all starts with choosing good <a href=\"https:\/\/my.host\/e-mail\/\">email hosting<\/a>. You want to be sure that all your data is secure and with a reliable organization. This minimizes the chances that your email server suddenly goes offline or that data breaches occur. These are points we at <a href=\"https:\/\/my.host\">my.host<\/a> obviously pay close attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, you need to decide under which <a href=\"https:\/\/my.host\/domeinnaam\/\">domain name<\/a> you want to operate. This can really be anything you want. Of course, usually your organization&#8217;s name is chosen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chosen domain name will appear after the \u2018@\u2019, so yourname@domain.com for example. This choice is very important in establishing your brand identity. You must, of course, first register this domain name to be able to use it for your email and website <a href=\"https:\/\/my.host\">hosting<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curious about how to create an email address within your hosting environment? Then read this <a href=\"https:\/\/my.host\/kb\/email\/hoe-maak-ik-een-emailaccount-aan\">knowledge base article<\/a> about creating an email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"choosing-the-hosting-package\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the hosting package<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After choosing your hosting provider and domain name, you can choose which hosting package best suits the needs of your organization or company.

This way, you keep all your email contacts organized and don&#8217;t have to search through multiple platforms when you need a specific email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-create-an-email-with-myhost\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why create an email with my.host?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You always have access to your emails everywhere.

To provide some clarity, we&#8217;ve listed a few of the most important points here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Professional appearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consistent brand identity and recognition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better control over and management of your inbox(es)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased number of functionalities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a business email domain works in your favor on multiple fronts. Not only for the impression it leaves on your business contacts but also for organizing all incoming emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"organizing-your-email-inboxes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Organizing your email inboxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very important reason why people like to use business email domains is that it often offers options to properly organize all incoming emails. Email management can save your company\/organization tremendous time, money, and effort and contribute to streamlining incoming requests and information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many organizations choose to set up multiple email addresses for different purposes to ensure an organized structure is created. Some examples of commonly used email addresses are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>info@yourcompany.com &#8211; Info emails are often used for incoming questions and customer service-related matters. This helps keep the operational side of the mailboxes organized with only relevant emails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>order@yourcompany.com &#8211; For companies that need to process orders, this is an important email address. The last thing you want is for orders to fall through the cracks and disappear into administrative chaos. This email address can save a lot of money and problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sales@yourcompany.com &#8211; These inboxes can assist in customer acquisition and contact with potential clients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>administration@yourcompany.com &#8211; All administrative matters can be directed here, such as invoices and payslips. This is also often crucial for internal matters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>yourname@yourcompany.com &#8211; Personal-business email addresses are ideal for internal contact and one-on-one contact with specific business connections where the rest of the company does not necessarily need insight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just a handful of examples. Of course, this is entirely dependent on your organization and its needs. The possibilities are endless, and you can quickly set up a structure tailored to your organization&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/_1n7HReLVSdHvApbqJGlx9ELlOFIL_9j4xrPirqzI2rmJkGFUxgnLiI3kqDcgSDXcV9VFD4QNPIFAX6sRmdYJsIOvK2nA6cuCoHM_Deiitfb6C2bQMRrZpetbMMXUIH_KFDynthdEK0Bre6J_bVlWg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"extra-structure-in-your-mailboxes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extra structure in your mailboxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to give even more structure to the organization of your email traffic, you can choose to create subfolders within the relevant email addresses. When you receive dozens or even hundreds of emails daily, subfolders can help create an organized hierarchy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you can create folders based on projects, clients, or specific tasks. By making smart use of this, it becomes easier to quickly find the right emails and focus on the relevant information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"seamless-integration-with-your-personal-email\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seamless integration with your personal email<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, professional mailboxes also bring many extra tools that can give your internal organization a significant boost. Consider integrations with calendars and other tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, most email hosts offer the possibility to add your other email addresses to the inboxes. This way, you only need one platform for all your email needs, and you can organize it all neatly according to your preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"finish-with-a-professional-signature\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finish with a professional signature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To complete your brand identity picture, we recommend creating a professional signature to close all outgoing emails. A good signature contains your name, your and\/or your company&#8217;s contact details, any social media handles, and a website URL. If you have a personal brand, a small, professional photo of yourself can also add a personal touch to the emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f4463924 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-not-stacked-on-mobile is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-461897f4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\">\n<svg style=\"max-width:50px\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"12.25 14.25 21.84 17.75\">\n    <path d=\"M16.0898 31V19C16.0898 18.7348 16.1952 18.4804 16.3828 18.2929C16.5703 18.1054 16.8246 18 17.0898 18H33.0898C33.3551 18 33.6094 18.1054 33.7969 18.2929C33.9845 18.4804 34.0898 18.7348 34.0898 19V31C34.0898 31.2652 33.9845 31.5196 33.7969 31.7071C33.6094 31.8946 33.3551 32 33.0898 32H17.0898C16.8246 32 16.5703 31.8946 16.3828 31.7071C16.1952 31.5196 16.0898 31.2652 16.0898 31Z\" fill=\"#CDEDFC\"\/>\n    <path d=\"M13.0898 28V16C13.0898 15.7348 13.1952 15.4804 13.3828 15.2929C13.5703 15.1054 13.8246 15 14.0898 15H30.0898C30.3551 15 30.6094 15.1054 30.7969 15.2929C30.9845 15.4804 31.0898 15.7348 31.0898 16V28C31.0898 28.2652 30.9845 28.5196 30.7969 28.7071C30.6094 28.8946 30.3551 29 30.0898 29H14.0898C13.8246 29 13.5703 28.8946 13.3828 28.7071C13.1952 28.5196 13.0898 28.2652 13.0898 28Z\" stroke=\"#023E5A\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n    <path d=\"M13 15L22.09 23L31.18 15\" stroke=\"#023E5A\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\"><strong>E-mail hosting bestellen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Veilige mailbox met je eigen domeinnaam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mijn.host\/e-mail-hosting\/?utm_source=mijn.host&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_content=cta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bestel nu<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating a business email address for your company simplifies communication with customers.
