What you need first

To set up a business email like hello@yourdomain.com, you need:

1A domain connected to your EasyWebie account (either bought through EasyWebie or connected via nameservers) with an Active DNS status — not "DNS Issue" or "Pending DNS"

2An account with either Zoho Mail or Google Workspace

If your domain shows a "DNS Issue" badge, the email button will be blocked until our support team resolves the nameserver routing. Open a support ticket from the domain card. If you have not connected a domain yet, see the Custom Domain guide first.

Opening the email setup guide

1Go to Domains in your dashboard sidebar

2Find your domain card

3Click the ✉ Email button on the domain card

4Choose your email provider (Zoho Mail India, Zoho Mail Global, or Google Workspace)

5A confirmation panel appears — review the details and click Confirm Setup to add the DNS records

EasyWebie shows you a step-by-step guide specific to your chosen provider after the records are added.

What EasyWebie does automatically

After you confirm, EasyWebie adds all the required DNS records to your domain:

●MX records — tell the world which server handles your email

●SPF record — prevents your emails from being marked as spam

●DKIM record — adds a digital signature to your outgoing emails (Zoho: added immediately; Google: you paste the key in step 4)

DNS records typically propagate globally in 5–30 minutes. If your email provider's verification check fails immediately after setup, wait 5–15 minutes and try again.

Completing setup with your email provider

After EasyWebie adds the DNS records:

1Go to your email provider's website (zoho.com/mail or workspace.google.com)

2Start their domain verification process

3They will give you a verification code — EasyWebie's guide shows exactly where to add it

4Once verified, create your mailbox (e.g. hello@yourdomain.com)

The full process usually takes 10–30 minutes. If verification fails, wait 5–15 minutes for DNS propagation and try again — the records are already in your DNS.

Google Workspace — DKIM selector name

When setting up Google Workspace DKIM (step 4), Google Admin Console lets you choose a "selector name" before generating your key. Leave this as the default (google) — do not change it.

EasyWebie adds your DKIM key at the DNS name google._domainkey.yourdomain.com. If you use a different selector name in Google Admin, the DNS name will not match and email authentication will fail. If you have already set a custom selector, generate a new key using the default selector and paste that value instead.

Changing email provider later

If you picked the wrong provider or want to switch to a different one, you can reset and start again:

1Go to Domains in your dashboard

2Click ✉ Email on the domain card

3At the bottom of the email guide, click "Change email provider — remove current setup"

4EasyWebie removes all the existing MX, SPF, DKIM, and verification TXT records for the current provider

5You can then pick a new provider and go through the setup again

⚠️ Removing the current setup will disconnect your existing email if it is already working — make sure your new provider is ready before switching.

Which provider should I choose?

Zoho Mail (India) — Indian servers, good for Indian businesses. Free plan available with basic storage. Easy to set up.

Zoho Mail (Global) — International servers, better if your customers are in multiple countries.

Google Workspace — Gmail interface with your own domain. Includes Google Meet, Drive, and Docs. Visit workspace.google.com for current pricing. Best if your team already uses Google.
