The name after the @ symbol must be registered and under your control.

Email at your own domain, without the guesswork.
Business email ideahello@yourbusiness.ca
A professional address keeps every conversation clear and consistent — on your phone, computer and every message you send.
How the setup fits together
The address may look simple — hello@yourbusiness.ca — but four pieces need to work together.
Current setup
Review the website, domain and provider before deciding where the mailbox should live.
Mailbox plan
Choose the number of inboxes, storage, aliases and security features you need.
Connection
Set up DNS records, test delivery and connect phones, computers or webmail.
The first question: is email included?
The answer changes the ongoing cost and sometimes the best setup.
Included with hosting
Some website plans include one or more mailboxes, occasionally for a limited introductory period.
- Check how many mailboxes are included
- Check storage and sending limits
- Check the renewal terms
- Confirm backup and spam protection
Purchased separately
A dedicated email plan can be used even when the website is hosted elsewhere.
- Price is usually per mailbox
- More storage or collaboration tools cost more
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace may suit teams
- Existing email may need to be migrated
What affects the cost?
Number of mailboxes
hello@, name@ and accounting@ may be separate paid inboxes or simple aliases.
Storage and tools
Larger storage, calendars, Office apps, archiving and advanced security can raise the price.
Migration
Moving historical messages, contacts and calendars adds work when an inbox already exists.
Devices and access
Setup may include webmail, phones, desktop email apps and shared access for a team.
A useful planning figure
A basic paid mailbox often works out to roughly CA$60–$70 per year. The exact provider fee, inclusions and renewal terms are checked before setup begins.
Provider examples: Hostinger Mail, GoDaddy Professional Email, and SiteGround email guidance. Prices and inclusions can change.

I can review the plan first, explain the options and quote only the setup you actually need.
