What email providers are you using for your small business?

I have Gmail with a custom domain (bonus: they’ll let you have like 25 aliases per inbox. So I pay for two inboxes but use 20 names (nurse1@example, nurse2@example….).


Options will have perks/minuses based on the number of inboxes, aliases you want.


I also own a synology box but haven’t gone through the hassle of self hosting because I’m a wimp, and for my use hosting is cheap.

I use Google Workspace which does more than just provide email, but that's included.

Is the only way to do that with Google Workspace? Currently I have companyname@gmail.com but would like to have first&lastname@companyname.com.

Yes. The cheapest plan is $6/m which seems quite reasonable.

Roughly speaking web host provided email is going to provide you with unlimited email addresses and aliases. It won't have company wide calendars and contact lists. It wont have instantaneous new mail notification. There will be a company wide space limitation.

Office 365 and Google Workspaces charge per user. They have compnay wide calendars and contact lists. They have instantaneous new mail notifications. There will be a per user space limitation. You have access to web based office suite. Office 365 has additional tiers that give you access to desktop applications.

Woah!!!!

I never knew about this with the aliases!

That’s amazing to find out and thanks for posting!

GoDaddy only. Not the cheapest, but great tech support. The issue I've had with Google Workspace is that when you have an issue, you are on your own. GoDaddy will stick with you until everything is back up.
