What is the best format for a business email address?

Your first name, or first name dot last name, at your own domain: jane@yourbusiness.com or jane.doe@yourbusiness.com. Both are easy to say and spell. First name dot last name keeps working when you hire someone with the same first name.

Can I get a professional email address for free?

You need a domain, which costs a yearly fee at a registrar, and a mailbox provider. Some providers have free tiers and some registrars include email forwarding; check each provider's current plans. This generator only suggests addresses, it doesn't sell or create them.

Is info@ or hello@ better?

Either works for inbound mail. hello@ reads friendlier; info@ is more traditional. Both are role addresses, so send outreach from a personal address rather than from a shared inbox.

Do I need a separate mailbox for each address?

No. Shared inboxes such as hello@, support@ and billing@ can be aliases or groups that deliver to a person's mailbox, which most providers support without an extra paid seat.

Does this tool create the email address?

No. It suggests addresses in your browser and sends nothing. To create them, add the domain to a mailbox provider such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho and publish the MX records it gives you.

Professional email address generator: what should your business email be?

In short: Enter your name and your new domain to get professional address ideas (first@, first.last@, hello@, support@) with the reason to pick each, plus the postmaster@ and DMARC aliases worth creating. Limit: It suggests addresses; it doesn't create mailboxes, and an address only works once the domain has a mail provider and MX records.

A professional email address generator turns your name and domain into address ideas for a new business. Enter a first name, an optional last name and the domain you own, and get first@, first.last@ and initial formats, shared inboxes such as hello@ and support@, and the postmaster@ and DMARC aliases mail standards expect. It runs in your browser.

How do I choose a professional email address for my business?

Enter your first name, your last name if you want name-based formats, and the domain you own or plan to buy.
Press Suggest addresses. Accents are folded (Zoë becomes zoe) and anything a mail server won't take is dropped, in your browser.
Pick one personal format and keep it for everyone you add later; create the shared inboxes as aliases that forward to a person.
Check the domain's email setup next, so mail to the new address arrives and mail from it lands in the inbox.

Example

You enter: First name Jane, last name Doe, domain yournewbusiness.example.
You get: Personal formats jane@, jane.doe@, jdoe@ and janed@yournewbusiness.example, each with the reason to pick it; shared inboxes hello@, contact@, support@ and billing@, labelled role addresses; and the postmaster@ and dmarc@ aliases, with a link to check the domain's email setup.
Limits: Runs in your browser with no limit; nothing is sent or looked up.

What is a good professional email address?

One built on your own domain, with your name before the @, that someone can spell after hearing it once. jane@yourbusiness.com and jane.doe@yourbusiness.com are the usual choices: the first is shortest, the second still works when you hire another Jane. Avoid numbers, underscores and nicknames; they get misheard on calls and mistyped in forms.

Whatever you pick, use the same format for everyone you add later, so people can guess a colleague's address. That consistency is also what tools like our email format finder look for when someone works out how a company's addresses are built.

Should I use hello@ or my own name?

Both, for different jobs. Put hello@ or contact@ on the website and social profiles, so the address survives staff changes, and send your own mail, especially outreach, from your personal address. Shared inboxes like hello@, support@ and billing@ are role addresses: many list tools and verifiers label them as role, and some email platforms, Mailchimp among them, refuse to import them.

Shared inboxes don't need their own paid mailbox. Most providers let you add them as aliases or groups that deliver to a person, which keeps the per-user bill down while you are small.

Which email addresses does every domain need?

Two are worth creating on day one. RFC 5321 asks every system that receives mail to accept mail for postmaster, so make postmaster@ an alias to your own inbox. And DMARC reports need somewhere to go: the rua= tag of your DMARC record names an address such as dmarc@yourbusiness.com, which can be an alias filtered into a folder.

None of these addresses work until the domain has a mailbox provider and its MX records point there. The domain email setup checker shows whether MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC are in place and gives the exact records for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho.

Who uses this tool, and for what?

New founders: Just bought a domain for the business? Pick the address format once, set up the shared inboxes as aliases, then check the domain's email records.
Freelancers: Move client mail off a personal Gmail to you@yourname.com without losing the convenience of one inbox.
Small teams: Agree on one format before the second hire, so every address can be guessed and nobody ends up as jane2@.

What can’t this tool tell you?

It suggests addresses; it doesn't create mailboxes, and an address only works once the domain has a mail provider and MX records.
It doesn't check whether an address is already taken on your domain or whether the domain is registered.
Names are reduced to a-z, 0-9 and hyphens; names in other scripts need a romanised spelling.

Authentication and capacity are half of deliverability.

The other half is who you send to. Every hard bounce counts against the domain and inboxes you are sending from, and nothing in DNS can tell you which addresses on your list are dead.
