Email Health Check

Many people think of email as straightforward: log in to your portal, click Compose, write your message, and hit Send. That simplicity is true when using consumer providers such as Hotmail, Gmail, or similar services.

However, once you invest in a business domain name, continuing to use a generic address like mybusiness@icloud.com undermines your professional image. Instead, your communications should come from a domain-branded address such as john.smith@mybusiness.co.uk. This not only reinforces your brand identity but also builds trust with customers and partners.

As email spammers and phishers become increasingly sophisticated, major hosting providers like Microsoft and Google are tightening security measures to protect users. These measures rely on advanced protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, which help verify legitimate senders and block malicious activity.
