How to Create a Business Email for Your WordPress Site 2022

Emails are a reliable, legal, and necessary part of corporate communication. It’s crucial that you only use email to send communications that are necessary for your business. Having a business email account not only offers a reliable means of communication but also assures the security and confidentiality of the vital data being transmitted.

Why Use a Business Email

Good reputation

A personalized business email shows your company immediate respect and gives the impression that you are well-liked in your industry. Customers are more inclined to research a company’s reputation before agreeing to work with it.

Before they accept the company as their partner in providing a service or delivering a product, they must first determine that the company has a good reputation. Use a customized email address if you want to present your company as highly qualified and respectable in your industry.

Building a Brand

Every time you send an email, you are advertising your brand if your email address contains the name of your company. By doing this, you may be certain that they’ll remember you for a long time.

Professionalism

Using an email address that is consistent with your brand communicates your commitment to running a serious, professional operation. Customers are more inclined to choose and trust a firm with a professional email address, therefore doing so will help your company get their respect.

Easy to Remember

A personalized email address is easier for you, your employees, and your clients to remember. Many people are reluctant to open an email from an unknown sender. Emails sent using a free account (like Gmail) could be seen as spam and end up in the trash.

Most WordPress hosting and domain services provide webmail clients with which you can access the messages received on your business email accounts. In this article, we’ll discuss how to set up business emails on cPanel and Bluehost. The popular Webmail clients are Horde and RoundCube, and these two are provided by both cPanel and Bluehost.

WebEmail Clients

Horde

Horde is the most full-featured of the three. Horde has a calendar, task list, event reminders, news feed, notes page, and an address book (which all three clients offer). Additionally, it offers mail filters and a spellchecker.

Roundcube

Roundcube finds a happy medium. The client supports drag-and-drop emails, system administrators can utilize plugins to add more productivity tools, and there is a three-pane view with a spellchecker.
