Free Email With Your Domain ([email protected])

Update (Jul 27, 2024)
Over a year later I’m still using the Zoho Mail free tier, and it works flawlessly. 😉

For the past couple of days, I was looking for a way to create an email address with my domain name (@rivenintech.com).

I was looking for something simple and preferably free. That’s when I found Zoho Mail - which I’m going to help you set up.

Why Zoho Mail?

• It’s ad-free (no ads inside your inbox).
• Has mobile apps for both Android and iOS.
• You can create up to 5 users for free for one domain.
• It also doesn’t include any branding in your emails (e.g. “Sent using X service” like similar free mail services).

Step 1: Sign Up For Zoho Mail

The first step is to sign up for a Zoho account. Go to Zoho Mail Pricing, scroll down and choose the Forever Free Plan. Complete the sign-up process.

Step 2: Mail Configuration

After signing up, follow the steps shown on Zoho Mail’s website to add your domain.

You will need access to your website’s DNS settings. It’s either your domain registrar (the website where you registered your domain name) or your site’s hosting. You need to add a few DNS records.

• Log in and find the DNS settings.
• Find the option to add a new DNS record.
• Follow the Zoho Mail configuration steps to add all records needed.
• Save the changes.
• Go to the Zoho Mail page and click the verify button to verify the DNS configuration (you might have to wait for a while for DNS settings to apply).

Step 3: Some Tips

After completing the configuration, your new email address should be ready to use! But first I would encourage you to check out your inbox settings and tweak them to your liking.

For example, I hated the default font, so I decided to change it to Arial.

Last thing worth mentioning is email logos. If you’re a business/brand you might want to read about BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification). It allows you to add a logo to the emails you send. If you’re interested I recommend reading this article about it.
