Business email on your own domain for $5 a year — an affordable alternative to free email

Professional Email for Almost Nothing

EtechMail believes every business deserves a professional email address, regardless of budget. Our Starter plan gives you a fully functional custom domain mailbox for $5 a year — about 42 cents a month — with the same reliability and security features as our bigger plans. There are no feature gating tricks and no surprise charges after sign-up.

Your business email includes webmail access, IMAP and POP3 support for connecting desktop and mobile clients, and built-in spam and virus filtering to keep your inbox clean. You get a real business email address like yourname@yourcompany.com that projects professionalism and trustworthiness to everyone you communicate with.

When your business grows and you need more mailboxes or domains, moving to a bigger plan is seamless, and the price per mailbox falls as you grow. Your email and settings stay as they are. Many freelancers find that the $5 Starter plan is everything they need. Learn more about setting up your professional email address with a custom domain.
