Impressions count in business. Even a detail as small as your email address influences how people view your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a small business or a start-up, perhaps you\u2019ve tried using a personal email account for business. It\u2019s easy, right? Gmail is the biggest free email service in the world. Most people already have a Gmail address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of a domain as a \u2018space\u2019 you buy on the internet. Or, more accurately, the address of that space so people can find it. We\u2019re all familiar with this idea through websites. A website domain is the address you type into a browser to find that site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 main options for replacing a standard Gmail address with a custom domain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
