Per mailbox
Business Mailbox
One mailbox on your domain, authenticated so it arrives.
What this tier is
A mailbox on your own domain is the cheapest credibility a small business can buy, and it stops being credible the moment mail lands in spam. The work is in the DNS: a correct SPF record, a published DKIM key, and a DMARC policy that aligns with both.
We run Stalwart on our own infrastructure. Mailboxes are provisioned with quotas and retention agreed in advance, and we verify authentication end to end before handing over, including sending test mail and reading the results.

- A sole trader or small business moving off a personal address
- Role addresses such as sales, support, or accounts
- A second mailbox for a specific function or contract
- Replacing a mailbox bundled with a hosting account you are leaving
Responsibility split
Written down so there is no argument about it later.
You handle
- Publishing DNS records, or delegating the zone to us
- Your mail client configuration on devices you control
- Keeping your own archive if you need mail beyond the agreed retention
How provisioning works
Operator-provisioned. Mail requires DNS changes on your side, so setup is a short back-and-forth rather than an instant switch. Typical turnaround is one to two business days once records are published, longer if a migration is involved.
