Before you build

How do I set up a domain and business email?

  1. Buy the domain from a reputable registrar; enable auto-renew and registrar lock
  2. Choose email: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
  3. Point DNS: MX records for email; A/CNAME records for the website (Cloudflare makes DNS easy)
  4. Protect deliverability: set SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your emails don't land in spam and can't be spoofed
  5. Secure accounts: MFA for everyone, admin roles kept minimal
