Is Outlook email free for business?
Microsoft Outlook offers a free plan, but it doesn’t come with a custom domain (only an @outlook.com one), which may not be suitable for business use. It also only accommodates one user. Microsoft 365’s business plans start at $6 a month and let you use a custom email domain (e.g., [email protected]) and add multiple users to your organization. It also comes with the Microsoft Office productivity suite, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Should I use Outlook or Gmail for business email?
Use Outlook for your business email if you need a lot of email and cloud storage. Microsoft provides up to 50GB of mail storage and 1TB of cloud storage on all its Business plans. It’s also a good option for more productivity tools like a collaborative workspace or online video editor. Choose Gmail if you want an easier setup process and beginner-friendly interface or are more familiar with the Google Workspace productivity suite.
How do I create a professional email in Outlook?
To create a professional email in Outlook, you’ll first need to subscribe to a Microsoft 365 Business plan, which lets you add a custom domain to your email account to get a branded email address and not a generic “@outlook.com” one. After subscribing to a Microsoft 365 plan, create your new email address and finish setting up your account by adding a custom domain, inviting your team members, and installing the Microsoft 365 platform on your computer.
Factsheet
Hello!
When I want to get a business plan started it seems that the only option is that it forces the onmicrosoft domain to you. But for example if a create and a personal account I can create it with a custom email straight away.
I can see that it reccomends using the DNS-server to get using your own domain... but is there a way to bypass all that and just create a business acount with your own email ?
Hi,
I recently lost access to a work account that I've had for over 5 years. It gave me a business email and access to Word, Excel, etc.
Now I have to get it on my own to continue working the way I do.
I don't need a website at this time, but I know I need find a place and register a domain? It has to be professional one not Gmail because I won't be able to register for webinars/conferences in my field without a professional email.
Then I have to go to Microsoft and get the business basic plan correct?
I want to use Outlook for this new business email account.
I don't need any consultants or paid services, I would like to set it up on my own.
Thank you.
