Having a custom domain name will help you create your own identity on the internet. If you are serious about establishing your authority and identity, having a customized email address using your domain will let customers know that you mean serious business. Receiving an email from service@business.com has a higher chance of yielding expected results than the same content being sent by servicebusiness@gmail.com.

Why use Gmail with a custom domain

• Credibility - Do you know customers are 9 times more likely to choose a business with a professional email address? If you’re running your own business, your customized email address will reflect your identity, just like your business card and letterhead. Email on your own domain name gives you optimum exposure on the internet and allows people to easily reach you.
• Simplicity - When you have a custom domain email address, it is easier for people to contact you. Your audience will find your personalized email address easier to remember when they need it. As long as they know your domain name, they can remember your email address.
• Consistency - With some email addresses like @comcast.net, you can’t take them with you if you switch internet providers. You can maintain consistency and an appearance of reliability when you have a custom email address that you can take with you no matter what.
