  • Get a free custom domain business email - using your own domain name. With Zoho.com this is pretty easy! This is a great option if you are using a VPS like Cloudways, Vultr, Linode, Digital Ocean and don't want to pay extra for dedicated email boxes.
    If you’d like to use a free Cloudflare account to manage your dns I show how to set that up here:

    Hey Mr. Alex! Your thorough tutorial highly encouraged me to pick Zoho for my business needs! Not to mention that there were automatic setups to import technical data from Go Daddy to Zoho so the whole process took me barely under two minutes to get the mail set! I appreciate you so much! Much love

    This was very informative, but if I have to delete Cloudflare's MX records, it'll only limit me to 5 emails in total free. Also 5GB/user means a total of 5GB which can be stored at once or total of 5GB is available? So if I delete older emails I can send more.

  • @Wishwader
    @Wishwader Před 3 lety

    I setup a zoho account a while back and i'm considering a second account to handle a second inbox. One thing which bugged me with the first zoho account is it automatically setup inbox folders like “notifications” with a filter to automatically place some emails into it. For me this just means i miss emails because there were never in my main inbox. Is this still default behaviour now when setting up a zoho account? Any way to avoid all that? Cheers for the video it's nicely explained.

    • @IdeaSpot

      No it works fine for sending - that limit just means you’re limited to using zoho web client, you couldn’t link it up to something like outlook or other 3rd party clients

    • @IdeaSpot

      I saw Zoho has a plugin which could do this (but I haven't tested): wordpress.org/plugins/zoho-mail/
      Though I like to use sendinblue & WP mail SMPT plugin when I need a free option for WordPress transactional emails - I show this in my Cloudways tutorial video, but it would work wherever you are hosted.

I am having an administrative mail sending issues from wordpress backend, it cannot send e-mail messages to wordpress users, for example sending confirmation and reset password e-mails. I am a digital ocean user before and this wasn't an issue until I switch to Oracle Free TIer cloud. I hope there is still a workaround for this problem. But I would try sendinblue again, it was our email relay service in one of our wordpress sites.

    Zoho makes decent products for they money you pay (or not pay), but let's face it: the UI is horrible, the aps are buggy, the emails end quite often in spam even if you do everything right, the support is bad (there's tones of reviews on that). But that's what you get for the lower price I guess. All their aps seem slightly unpolished.

    Problem being, when I created a new email with Zoho under the same name (support@...), the emails from wordpress are not coming through anymore although it is the same email name. What should I do?
