Why Having Your Own Domain for Email Is Worth It

Dominic Barker
Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook – free email providers are easy to set up and get the job done.

But if you want to build long-term visibility, trust, and a professional presence – whether you're an association, a hair salon, a restaurant, or a business – using your own domain is a smart move. It gives your communication a clear identity and offers many practical benefits in your day-to-day work.

1. Professional and trustworthy – tight from the start

An address like info@yourname.ch instantly creates a trustworthy and professional impression. In contrast, something like hairsalonxy@gmail.com can feel impersonal. Especially when it comes to booking confirmations, newsletters, or customer support, using your own domain builds credibility and helps you connect with people from the very first message.

2. A consistent brand identity that people remember

Your own domain makes your name visible everywhere – on business cards, flyers, invoices, and of course, your website. This consistency strengthens your brand and helps ensure people remember you in the long run.

A matching domain for your website reinforces trust and consistency.

With our web hosting offer, you get two in one: website and email with your own domain – easy to set up and everything from a single provider.

3. Full control over your communication

With your own domain, you're in control:

  • How many mailboxes you set up (support@, billing@, info@, …)
  • Whether you use automatic forwarding or out-of-office replies
  • How much storage space you need
  • And even if you switch providers, your email address stays the same

 

With free email services, you're subject to their rules – including possible limitations or ads.

4. More data privacy with Swiss hosting

Data privacy matters more than ever today. With Swiss email hosting, your data is stored locally in accordance with Swiss data protection laws. At KreativMedia, we don’t analyze your data or share it with third parties.

You’ll find more details in our privacy policy.

5. For everyone who wants to communicate professionally

Having your own domain isn’t just for large corporations – smaller businesses, associations, and freelancers benefit from it too:

  • Associations
    Uniform addresses like board@yourclub.ch bring structure and clarity
  • Hospitality & Skilled Trades
    Clearly recognizable senders help increase booking rates
  • Freelancers & Startups
    Show professionalism from the very first contact
  • SMEs
    Make their communication more structured and aligned with their brand

6. Get your own domain and email with us
