Efter att ha skapat en website är det första varje företagare behöver en professionell email address med sitt företagsnamn i.
En professionell email address hjälper dig att vinna förtroende när du har att göra med andra företag och customize. Google Workspace (tidigare känt som G Suite) är en produktivitetssvit som allow you att använda Gmail med din egen professionella email address.
I den här artikeln visar vi dig hur du skapar en professionell, customize-anpassad email address med Gmail och Workspace.
Vad är en professionell email address?
En professionell email address är en som innehåller ditt företagsnamn. Till exempel är john@myphotostudio.com en professionell email address.
Email accounts på gratis email tjänster som john.photographer@gmail.com är inte lika bra för affärer eftersom de inte ser professionella ut. Dina customers och andra företag kommer att tycka att en professionell email address är mer pålitlig.
För att få en professionell email address behöver du ett domain name och en website. Vi har Step-by-Step guider om hur du väljer ett domain name och hur du snabbt skapar en website.
Om du redan har ett domain name och en website, då är du redo att skapa din egen professionella email address.
Varför använda Google Workspace för en professionell email address med varumärkesprofil?
Du kanske tänker, varför använda Google Workspace när de flesta webbhotell för WordPress erbjuder obegränsade email accounts med ditt eget domain name?
Email är ett av de viktigaste kommunikationsverktygen för företagare. Om du missar ett viktigt email kan det skada din verksamhet.
Många e-postservrar på webbhotell är opålitliga, begränsande, isolerade och mindre säkra. Du vet inte ens om det email du skickade faktiskt levererades.
Det är här Google Workspace och Gmail kommer in i bilden.
Gmail är branschledande inom email, med över 1,8 miljarder aktiva användare. Google Workspace är Googles app-svit för produktivitet för företagare, som inkluderar Gmail och används av över 6 miljoner företag.
Google Workspace fungerar med ditt eget domain name, vilket allow you att använda Gmail för att skapa din professionella email address.
Här är några av fördelarna med att använda Workspace och Gmail för en professionell email address:
- Professionell email address för företag på din egen domän
- Gmails bergfasta säkerhet och filter mot skräppost
- 30 GB till obegränsat utrymme
- Hantera email även när du är offline med Gmail-appen på mobila enheter
- Fungerar överallt: webb, mobil, surfplatta, you name it
- Fungerar utmärkt med Outlook och kan till och med synkronisera gamla Outlook-konton
- Varje användare kan ha upp till 30 alias för email
- Använd Google Calendar och Google Meet för chatt, videoklipp och röstsamtal med hjälp av din egen email address
- Ingen Advertising och professionell support dygnet runt när du behöver hjälp
- Fungerar sömlöst med din WordPress site
- Viktigast av allt: hög deliverability, inga fördröjningar och ingen skräppost
Nu när du vet varför det är viktigt att använda Google Workspace för professionell e-post ska vi ta en titt på hur du skapar en professionell email address.
Editor’s Note: Vi använder Google Workspace för alla våra professionella email addresses och kan ärligt säga att det är det bästa.
Konfigurera en professionell email address med Gmail (Workspace)
Först måste du registrera dig för ett Google Workspace account.
Det börjar på $ 6 / månad för varje användare, faktureras årligen. Google erbjuder också en gratis 14-dagars provperiod, vilket gör att du kan testköra allt innan du bestämmer dig.
I grund och botten får du alla de kraftfulla funktioner som du är van vid med Gmail, Drive, Calendar och mer, men nu är de för ditt företag.
Besök bara Googles website och klicka på knappen ”Kom igång” för den plan du vill använda.
Därefter måste du enter ditt företagsnamn, välja antal anställda och det land där du är location.
Du kan välja alternativet ”Just you” för ett användarkonto eller välja antalet anställda.
När du är klar klickar du på knappen ”Next” för att fortsätta.
I nästa steg kommer du att bli ombedd att enter din personliga kontaktinformation, inklusive ditt namn och din email address.
Därefter kommer du att bli ombedd att välja ett domain name. Om du redan har ett domain name klickar du på alternativet ”Yes, I have one I can use”.
Annars måste du klicka på ”No, I need one” för att registrera ett domain name.
I den här tutorialen använder vi alternativet ”Yes, I have one I can use” (Ja, jag har en jag kan använda).
Det är viktigt att notera att om du behöver registrera ett new domain name kommer du att debiteras separat för att göra det.
Pro tips: Så här registrerar du ett domain name gratis.
Därefter måste du enter ditt företags domain name och klicka på knappen ”Next”.
Efter det kommer Google att bekräfta ditt domain name.
Gå vidare och klicka på knappen ”Nästa”.
På nästa vy kommer Google att fråga you om du gillar att hålla dig uppdaterad med användbara tips, specialerbjudanden och mycket mer.
Du kan klicka på knappen ”Ok” eller ”Nej tack” för att gå vidare.
Efter det kan du också välja att skicka information till användare om Google Workspace och dess funktioner.
Om du gillar att tacka ja till det här alternativet klickar du på knappen ”OK”.
I nästa steg kommer du att bli ombedd att skapa ditt användarkonto för Google Workspace genom att enter ett användarnamn och password.
Detta användarnamn kommer också att vara din första professionella email address. Så du måste välja ett lämpligt och professionellt användarnamn.
När du har enter detaljerna måste du kontrollera reCAPTCHA boxen och clicka på knappen ”Agree and continue”.
You har nu utan problem skapat ditt Workspace account. You can now click on the ”Continue to setup” button.
På nästa vy kommer du att bli ombedd att logga in på ditt nyskapade account.
När du har loggat in måste du godkänna Googles tjänster. Klicka bara på knappen ”Jag förstår” för att fortsätta.
Du kan nu följa instruktionerna på skärmen för att completed installationen.
När det är gjort kommer du att se Admin-konsolen.
Nästa steg är att kontrollera din domän.
Verifiera din domän i Google Workspace
Om du registrerade ditt domain name någon annanstans kommer du nu att bli ombedd att kontrollera att du äger det.
Från adminpanelen i Google Workspace klickar du bara på alternativet ”Verify domain”.
Alternativt kan du också gå till Account ” Domäner ” Hantera domäner från menyn till vänster.
Härifrån klickar du helt enkelt på alternativet ”Verify domain”.
På nästa vy kommer du att bli ombedd att hitta DNS-posterna eller inställningarna för din domän server.
För denna tutorial kommer vi att använda Bluehost. Google kommer dock automatiskt att upptäcka din domän server.
Du kan klicka på länken för att öppna inställningarna för webbhotellet och sedan klicka på ”Nästa: Gå till steg 2” längst ner.
Därefter måste du logga in på din hosting provider.
I Bluehost kan du heada till Domäner från den vänstra panelen och sedan rulla ner till alternativet ”Advanced Tools”.
Detta förstorar tools och visar namnservrar och DNS-poster.
Efter det klickar du bara på länken ”Hantera” framför avancerade DNS-poster.
Härifrån hittar du DNS-posterna för din website.
Gå vidare och klicka på knappen ”+ Add Record”.
Efter det måste du enter TXT details.
Här är de details du behöver enter:
- Webbhotellets registrerade post: @
- TXT-värde: Googles verifieringskod för site
- TTL: 4 timmar (min)
Du hittar detaljerna för TXT-posten i inställningarna för Google Workspace.
Byt bara till fönstret eller tabben där inställningarna är öppna, så ser du alla detaljer under steget ”Add verification post”.
Glöm inte att clicka på knappen ”Save” när du är klar.
När du har sparat TXT-posten i Bluehost klickar du bara på alternativet ”Skydda domän”.
Att kontrollera detaljerna kommer att ta några sekunder. När det är gjort kommer du att se ett message om att din domän är skyddad.
Gå vidare och klicka på knappen ”Fortsätt”.
Du kommer till inställningarna för ”Hantera domäner” i adminkonsolen i Google Workspace. You should see the status for your domain change to ”Verified”.
Använda din professionella email med Workspace och Gmail
Ditt email account fungerar som alla andra Gmail-konton. Du kan komma åt det genom att besöka Gmail och logga in med din email address, gillar john@yourdomain.com.
You can also manage your Google Workspace account by visiting the Admin console.
I section ”Users” klickar du bara på ”Manage”. Det är här du kan lägga till/ta bort nya användare till ditt domain name.
Alla dina användare kommer att ha minst 30 GB lagring eller den lagring som definieras i din price plan, tillsammans med all samma funktioner. De kommer dock ej att ha tillgång till adminkonsolen. You can also remove those users at any time.
Felsökning av domän för Google Workspace
Din server kanske inte använder en dashboard som den vi har visat i screenshots ovan.
Google Workspace har detaljerad dokumentation för många av de populära leverantörerna av webbhotell och domänregistreringstjänster. Besök bara sidan activate Gmail for Google Workspace och leta sedan upp din domänregistrator eller ditt webbhotell från listan.
Om du ej hittar din tjänst provider i listan kan du fråga dem direkt om de kan hjälpa dig att konfigurera Google Workspace för ditt domain name.

I think having email in our own personal domain is crucial for a professional look. It is dirt cheap, but it really looks way better.
I also suggest having many mail accounts on your own domain for different purposes. One casual for everyday use, one professional with your full name, and one or two for additional things related to our business like newsletters and accounts or subscriptions. It really helps separate all of those things, and I personally prefer that over folders and such organization.
Moinuddin waheed says
Having a professional email address increases the branding value in visitors mind. I have not used professional email because I thought we can’t receive emails from professional email I’d to our Gmail account.
if we don’t purchase gsuit and want to add our domain email to Gmail so that we can receive emails directly in our Gmail account, is there a way to do so?
WPBeginner Support says
You could try checking if Gmail’s check mail from another account works with your domain’s email for what it sounds like you are wanting to do.

If you’ve configured the MX records through Gsuite and added them to your webhosts DNS editor, do you also need to then configure Gsuite through a plugin such as WP Mail SMTP on your actual website?
WPBeginner Support says
If you wanted to send your mail on your WordPress site then we would recommend using an SMTP plugin.

I am a little confused (I am not tech savvy). You say ”Setup a Professional Email Address with Gmail and G Suite”, I have a Gmail account but I only see instructions for G Suite. So am I to assume this can only be done with just the G Suite and NOT a Gmail account?
WPBeginner Support says
Correct, you would use G Suite to have a Gmail account for your branded email address.
Administratör
Michael Shaw says
Gmail and G-suit are both are effective for business. But when it comes to business it’s email ID matters a lot. So, using a professional mail ID that could more trustable to persons in business matters as that ID contains a business name.
WPBeginner Support says
Correct, and G Suite allows you to create an email address with your business name
Administratör
Brendan Ryan says
I use G-suite for my Domain mail routing in exactly this way. I set it up a couple of years ago when I was looking to give a more professional appearance but primarily to increase deliverability. Less warnings to recipients about ”Sever could not verify your-domain.com was the actual sender”
I have a G-suite account where I am the only user. But it does allow you to add any other Domains you happen to own. When you do this , you then get to set up MX records for each of those additional domains and Google then serves the mail. At this point you add the extra domains as part of the primary G-suite Domain Organization. I have google routed mail addresses for each one of those dot coms and Google verifies the secure layer. And yes i do Use WP MAIL SMTP plugin on each of those sites also. All of this and 30GB storage on Drive for AU$5 a month. I am about to up the ante and go the next level at $10 per month which gives me additional function but primarily the 1TB – Unlimited storage on Drive.
WPBeginner Support says
Thanks for sharing your reasons for using G-suite for your domain for others looking

Are there any places that do business emails for say, 16 total different dot com business domains that I already have? Who would those be if so, please? Also, do any of these paid services have monthly billing options, or are they all annual subscription billing only? I’d really be interested if anyone knew of any free sites that allow you a business email dot com for your current domain names, again, I need about 16 different email dot coms on it and am on a fixed income searching for the lowest price or at least a low monthly fee rather than having to pay a whole year up front. Thank you!
WPBeginner Support says
You may want to check with your hosting/domain provider if they offer something like that where you could forward the emails without the concern with billing.

Beware of using google for your business. Someone hacked our account and google shut us down for “violating google policies”….
We can’t access any of our emails or any history or communication for our company. Everything we built is destroyed. THERE NOT EVEN AN EMAIL AT GOOGLE TO CONTACT… worst company we ever dealt with. Beware… this can happen to you!

’Scroll down and you will find MX Records. There would be one or more entries there. You need to delete all of them.’
I done this and now my website is down for 24-48 hours until the dns records propagate through the web. This deletes pointers to where your domain is held!
Derek says
This isn’t true. MS records only effect your email and during the time it takes to propagate the original value still holds. So your email may continue to go wherever it had gone before for up to 2 days. (Almost all modern systems will update in a few hours.)

I’ve had my gmail account since 2011. I didn’t sign up for (Google Apps at the time) G Suite back then. Can I be grandfathered into getting a free business email domain since I had a gmail account before the 2012 price implementation to upgrade?

Hi Cory,
Nope, we don’t think that would work. You can still ask on GSuite support forums for more information.

How can i maintain my email address
Ragnhild Margreth Nordlund says
Why on earth do you hide yourself? Why make it so difficult to get in touch with you?
And, why do I not get my e-mails? And why do I get så many ”failures” (mislykket)?
Why do you send me failure messages when I send to correct e-mail addresses?
I am fed up with you.
Perhaps time to find myself some other e-mail company?

Hi, thank for your this detailed walk-through; only thing, (maybe I’m just slow/dunce; I did read through the entire article btw), but I’m unsure about this: if I sign up for business email with GSuite/Google apps and I respond to an email sent to the business email, the client will see the business email, right?
You see, I’m new to this owning your website business. I have a subdomain.wordpress.com website (I plan on upgrading to my own domain soon) and I know the upgraded WP offers business emails, but when I read the info. on the WP site, no where does it say that when I respond to a client’s message, that the client will see the business email; it looks like the client will see my own/non-business email.
Eg. Let’s say my business is wpbeginner and I upgraded to WP’s business plan and I selected the email: hello (at) wpbeginner to forward emails to my actual/non-business email: justanexample (a) gmail.
If a client hits the ’contact’ button on my site and/or sends an email to hello (at) wpbeginner, when I reply, will the client see hello (at) wpbeginner or will the client see prettylady (a) gmail? That’s what I don’t understand.
I have this same question for Google apps.
I want to make sure I do the correct thing; if it is that the client will see my non-business email when I respond, then getting a WP business email doesn’t make sense.
But on Google apps, the client *will* see my *business* email when I respond, correct?
Thank you for clarifying.
WPBeginner Support says
Clients will see your business address when you reply to them.

I have purchased an 30 days trial.
Now when I am trying for billing, it is automatically showing me this on
(HOW YOU PAY:
Automatic payments: Pay after your ads run. Your ads typically start running almost right after you submit billing details. You pay only after you accrue costs, via an automatic charge when you reach your billing threshold or 30 days after your last automatic payment, whichever comes first. Learn more
Manual payments: Pay before your ads run. Your ads typically start running after we process your first payment. We deduct charges from your prepaid balance each time your account accrues a cost. If your account runs out of funds, your ads stop running until you make another payment. Learn more)
Now, I just wanna purchase an Professional email not this Ad service account what should I do
WPBeginner Support says
Contact Google customer support from your account dashboard.

I believe you were routed to the AdWords page. As for the Apps payment, or Email payment, basic is like $3/user and also the payment can be automatic if you put a card. You can also deposit an amount minimum of $10.

Hi thanks for the tutorial! I ran into 1 hiccup though at the ”verify your domain” step. Once I click the button to do so, I get a small gray popup that says ”Server error”. What does that mean?
No explanation. I can’t click on it to get more details. when I click on the listed ”help center” link under the google setup steps, I got a 403 error.
Is it because bluehost only lets us set min. TTL at 14400 and google asks for it to be 3600?

if i use 5 emails on my domain, which is used by 5 other people, then is it necessary that i have to take all the emails to google work email.

Hi – I appreciate the article and decided to give Google Apps for Work a try because I’ve had many issues with the current email service I currently use for my business mail and also for my clients business mail as well as their website service provider.
FYI: The only issue I have at this point is that the coupon code provided in this article was only valid for a single user (which I guess was first come firs served). I contacted Google who would not honor the 20% off offer.
Christine Tabor says
Excellent step by step… I’m going to definitely save this…
So, to confirm… if I am the only one accessing the email… then other alias’ I set up, e.g. info@, sales@, etc., do not incur a charge as another user… correct?
How difficult to sync with Outlook… especially if you want updates to be global… and and Outlook uses folders and Google apps/gmail does not… any issues?
Finally… I’m building out my next site on a subdomain.domain.com right now… would I be able to go ahead and set up the email or should I wait until I migrate the site and turn on the search engine, etc.?
Christine
WPBeginner Support says
Christine, yes that is correct aliases do not incur charges as separate user. For Outlook you can use Google Apps Sync tool for Microsoft Outlook. You can also add your Google Apps account as an IMAP or POP account to your Outlook mail. If you have access to domain’s DNS records, then you can set it up.

Great tutorial as usual! You guys truly do the heavy lifting and it’s all very helpful. Thanks!
Jay Castillo says
As always, thanks for the awesome tutorial. Always wanted to do this to use our own domain for emails, but never had the time to research. Now i don’t have to research, you already have the info i need here for new email addresses, thanks!
I just have one question, what happens to my old/existing email addresses using my domain? How do i migrate them?
WPBeginner Support says
If you are the only person using those email addresses then you can add them as email aliases. If other users use those email addresses, then you will need to add them as users in Google Apps Admin Console.

Jay Castillo says
Got it, thanks!

Thank you for this tutorial. When I add aliases, do they have to be al @yourdomain.com or can they be totally different? I have a few different websites and would rather not have a separate Google Apps for Work account (& fee) for each. Thanks again!
Katherine says
They have added multiple domain support to Google Apps, but there are A LOT of restrictions and issues associated with it.
And what really sucks is those of us with legacy accounts can’t add multiple domains. So much for the early adoption bonus.
Kim says
I have created a Google Apps Work account (example.com) and have 5 users … one is my son shane@example.com … he has a youtube business and has used a free gmail account for this business for a few years username@gmail.com … I thought that I could simply add username@gmail.com as a send from and send to account so that Shane can stay logged into his shane@example.com email and view ALL emails coming in from shane@example.com and username@gmail.com …. this seems like it would be a VERY common requirement but I cannot get it to work!! Ironically, I have no problem adding a NON gmail account as a send from and send to account. Does ANYONE know how to set this up using a Google Apps Work account and adding a free gmail account?
WPBeginner Support says
Instead of change Send From and Reply to fields, you can also setup forwarding. Open the Google Apps email account and go to Settings -> Forwarding and add the gmail address. Similarly you can setup forwarding on free gmail account to forward all mail to the Google Apps account.
Aziz says
amazing Guide and rich info, just wondering if you can suggest a free one until i can afford to buy from google thanks said
subha says
I agree
Radu says
Yes, thank you for the article… However a very important aspect has been left out I think.
Setting up the MX record in the actual domain handler.. This is a crucial piece of the puzzle, this way you can have complete control over the email and there is no connection to the webhost.
They way to do it is to temporarily park the domain so you can access the DNS manager inside:
1. Park domain – i.e. with godaddy just put the default NS records or ”set to default”
2. Go to the DNS file zone editor and post the host to your webhost IP
3. And now add the mail exchanger info
So this way I think your email address with google aps is 100% independent.
Or this is not the way to do this? Please confirm.
WPBeginner Support says
Yes, this is correct and we have mentioned it in the article above. You need to delete existing MX entries from your domain and add Google MX records.
