Business email
Business email belongs beside your WordPress site.
Your site and your inbox share DNS, reputation, and the same small team when something breaks. This page is for owners who are tired of duct-taping Gmail forwards and want [email protected] to work the first time, not after a week of forum threads.
What you get on a Host Little plan
- Mailboxes at your domain (Starter: 5 accounts; Business and Agency: unlimited)
- Same support team as your WordPress stack
- Guidance on SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for inbound delivery
- SSL for web; encrypted mail transport where supported by clients

Email, DNS, and your domain
Why email still matters next to Instagram and SMS
Social accounts get locked. SMS threads disappear. A customer who needs a receipt, a contract, or a booking confirmation expects it from an address that matches your domain. That signal is not vanity. It is how people decide whether you are a weekend project or a business they can pay.
The hidden cost of split vendors
Buying premium WordPress hosting and then bolting on Google Workspace or another inbox provider works for some teams. It also means two bills, two admin consoles, and two support lines when DNS for mail and web disagree. Host Little bundles business email on every plan so the people who know your DNS also answer when Outlook suddenly stops sending.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in plain language
SPF lists which servers may send mail for your domain. DKIM adds a cryptographic signature so recipients know the message was not tampered with in transit. DMARC tells receiving providers what to do when something fails those checks. Skipping them is how legitimate invoices land in spam. We help configure the records as part of onboarding.
Starter vs Business when you are hiring
Starter covers one WordPress site and five mailboxes. That fits a lot of solo shops. When you add staff or separate roles (bookkeeping@, studio@, press@), Business removes the mailbox cap and adds room for more WordPress installs if you spin up a second brand or staging workflow.
How this ties to WooCommerce receipts
Order confirmations and password resets ride the same reputation as your normal mail. If your domain sends mixed signals (old forwarding rules, a forgotten marketing tool blasting from the wrong IP), customers miss receipts and you get chargeback noise. Keeping web and mail under one disciplined setup reduces those surprises.
One team for web and mail
Plans start at $49/month with five mailboxes included. Business and Agency add unlimited addresses and more WordPress installs when you grow.
