Do I really need a domain if my business is small?

A domain costs less than a single month of most subscriptions and gives your business an identity that does not depend on any platform. The smaller the business, the more a clean address helps you look established.

Can I move my email later if I start with a free one?

Yes, but every customer, vendor, and search result that learned the old address has to be updated. Starting with a domain you control avoids that work entirely.

Your Email Is the Front Door
