  • What is Zoho Mail? - Zoho Mail is a popular email hosting service that offers a free plan for businesses with up to 5 users. It provides a professional email address using your own domain name, along with features like email forwarding, filters, and mobile access.
    • Setup Guidelines
    1. Sign up for a free account on Zoho Mail.
    2. Ensure you have a registered domain name and access to its DNS settings. Refer to the guide on how to host a website for free for domain registration and DNS settings.
    3. In Zoho Mail, go to the "Domains" section and click on "Add Domain". Enter your domain name and follow the prompts to verify ownership.
    4. After verification, you will need to configure your domain's DNS settings to point to Zoho Mail's servers. This typically involves adding MX records provided by Zoho Mail to your domain's DNS configuration.
    5. Once the DNS changes have propagated (which can take up to 48 hours), you can start creating email accounts for your business using your custom domain.
    6. Goto Zoho admin and create your email accounts. You can create up to 5 users with the free plan.
    7. Access your business email through Zoho Mail's web interface or set it up in your preferred email client using the provided IMAP/POP settings.
