  I have purchased a domain from GoDaddy and I am researching the best service to create/host my website. One of the items I cannot find in WordPress offerings is domain email. Can you direct me to where I can see what options are offered for domain email with your different packages?

  Also, what options are available for domain email? Google Workplace, MS 365…?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi there,

  Nobody goes to college for this stuff, so it’s OK if you don’t have all the answers. We’re happy to address them one at a time. :)

  Can you direct me to where I can see what options are offered for domain email with your different packages?

  We don’t offer free email on WordPress.com (free email is not usually very high quality) but we do offer a Professional Email option that you can add to your account https://wordpress.com/support/add-email/adding-professional-email-to-your-site/

  The pricing for Professional Email is $35/yr (per inbox) and is high quality, offering a similar experience to Gmail.

  Also, what options are available for domain email? Google Workplace, MS 365…?

  If you wish to use Google Workspace you can purchase that through us (we are a reseller) or if you have purchased it already with Google or another vendor, we can connect it to your site so it will work correctly: https://wordpress.com/support/add-email/#google-workspace-formerly-g-suite

  We do not offer MS 365 but if you have that we can also connect it to your site without issue. For all domains there is a connection protocol (using DNS settings) so we can basically connect any email service you are using now, provided they offer a DNS connection option, which is the industry standard. https://wordpress.com/support/add-email/#other-email-providers

  For example, if GoDaddy offers you free email with your domain, there is a way to connect that to your site if you prefer to use that option. :)

  You did not ask a specific question about this but I wanted to point out that as a fully managed host (optimized specifically for the needs of WordPress) We’re tough to beat. We take care of security, brute force login protection, spam filtering, automatic software updates, and user-accessible backups. These are things that you would normally need to manage for yourself with a more budget-oriented host. https://wordpress.com/hosting/

  We also offer in-house support for all your WordPress questions, whereas most hosts only offer “hosting support” but do not support you with your website questions since WordPress is just one of the many platforms they let you install on their service.

  We’re happy to add any questions related to our hosting feel free to let us know. We’re also happy to learn a little more about your site and will be happy to point you in the right direction with that context in mind.

  Thanks for the additional info!
