Using a free web-based email service for business communication can negatively affect your online presence.<\/p>\n<p>First things first: this article is not intended to say that free web-based email is bad! Not at all. Free email definitely has its appropriate use \u2013 for communication with friends and family. Free email can also be used to sign up for applications, websites, online shopping and personal social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the free web-based email referred to this article does not refer to the one-month free trial periods offered by third-party subscription-based email service providers. We are referring to free email accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail.<\/p>\n<p>Many business owners and employees use free email services (such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL) as their primary or secondary email address when their main business email is not working and list it on their business cards or even their website. Despite its many attractive features, using @gmail.com, @yahoo.com etc for business purposes can have real negative drawbacks.<\/p>\n<p>The business email domain is best for managing business communications and professional contacts. Business email generally comes with group aliases, higher storage, email security and business-specific features and integrations, including migration support and control panel.<\/p>\n<p>So why are free web based email services not recommended for business use? Here are 6 reasons why:<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_49 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"ez-toc-toggle-icon-1\"><label for=\"item-69e341271527b\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><span style=\"display: flex;align-items: center;width: 35px;height: 30px;justify-content: center;direction:ltr;\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/label><input  type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item-69e341271527b\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/6-reasons-not-to-use-free-web-based-email-for-your-business\/#1_No_privacy_Free_is_not_%E2%80%98free%E2%80%99_If_you_are_not_paying_any_form_of_monetary_subscription_to_use_the_service_you_pay_in_another_way\" title=\"1.

It\u2019s not just Google, Facebook or your mobile service provider. Even your phone app or online store tries to get access to your data. Yet, we have to exchange messages all the time with family, friends, colleagues or the government.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same with free email. To use most of these free email services, you need to give up one key aspect: online privacy. Most well-known free email services scan your emails via an algorithm to determine certain things about you and build your profile. It could be about your interests \u2013 food, shopping, business, travel, etc. It does not stop there. They can scan other emails that contain more private subjects, including your health or relationships.<\/p>\n<p>These free email service providers then sell your data to advertisers and marketers.

Even if the recipients of your emails don\u2019t read your emails, they will see your email address. A custom domain email address is an invaluable tool in winning business. If you aren\u2019t top of their minds constantly, your competitor is.<\/p>\n<p>When people look at your email address, they see someone else\u2019s business name\/website address, not yours. Especially if you do email marketing of your business or are trying to grow your business by reaching out to new prospects, why not promote your business and potentially get more visits to your site?<\/p>\n<p>A custom business email address is a very low-cost and easy-to-set-up marketing strategy that would help to elevate the perception of your company. You do not need a website to set up a custom email address. You only need to <a style=\"font-size: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-domain-name-registration\">register for a domain<\/a> first, and then once it is active, you can <a style=\"font-size: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/email-hosting#hosting-price\">sign up for a professional business email address<\/a> @yourdomain.com<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of using a custom email address is that if your business email has the same domain as your website, it\u2019s easy for people to use the domain name to find your website and get more information about your business without having to ask you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Looks_unprofessional_Free_emails_can_give_the_wrong_impression_about_you\"><\/span>3. Looks unprofessional: Free emails can give the wrong impression about you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, image is everything in business, and first impressions count!<\/p>\n<p>As a business or professional, you only get one chance to make a first impression, and you need to make it count. Let your image be one of professionalism and consistency. If you have a beautiful store and\/or a business website, why use an email address like iamthebestest@yahoo.com to communicate with your potential clients?<\/p>\n<p>As a business or professional, when you communicate using a free email account such as Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo, your clients or other business associates may not take you as seriously. Such free email addresses give the recipient the impression that you are either:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">\n<li style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Not a well-established company or brand.

This means fewer responses to your product\/service marketing and potentially lost business for all your marketing efforts and resources.You will be taken more seriously by your clients, potential clients, and business associates if you communicate with a <a style=\"font-size: 18px; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/email-hosting#hosting-price\">custom domain email address<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Security_Your_customerssupplierspartners_can_be_easily_deceived\"><\/span>4. Security: Your customers\/suppliers\/partners can be easily deceived<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Today, the internet is awash with myriad malicious individuals trying to defraud others, masquerade as others, or steal sensitive information. Because they are widely available, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and other free email services can be easily spoofed and used to trick your customers and suppliers that the email is coming from you when it really isn\u2019t. Your customers could be deceived into making payments or divulging their personal information to cybercriminals.<\/p>\n<\/nav>\n<section>For instance, say you have a successful personal training business called Peter Kachooks Training, and your email address is peterkachookstrainer@gmail.com. There are unscrupulous people out there than can write companies or individuals impersonating your Gmail account used for business and ask for money or free stuff from companies in exchange for promoting products.<\/p>\n<p>Cybercriminals could create and use an email address very similar to yours, such as peterkachoookstrainer@gmail.com, to deceive your customers and other business contacts. This would be much harder to occur with custom domain email addresses.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Reduced_productivity_and_higher_likelihood_that_you_will_miss_important_emails\"><\/span>5. Reduced productivity and higher likelihood that you will miss important emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are using your personal free email account for business, there is a higher likelihood that you will miss important business communication. Most personal free email accounts are usually flooded with email forwards, social media updates, and a host of other spam email messages.<\/p>\n<p>Having a separate business email account will make you less likely to miss out on an important email.<\/p>\n<p>It will also improve your work productivity because your attention will not be divided between reading personal emails and business emails if they are in the same account. Just as you have separate bank accounts, business and personal, it is recommended that you have a separate business domain email account that will be used to send\/receive business-related communication only.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Risk_of_Reputational_Damage_by_Disgruntled_Employees\"><\/span>6. Risk of Reputational Damage by Disgruntled Employees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When your staff or contractors use free email accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail for communicating on behalf of the organization, you have no control over their accounts and contacts list. You cannot lock them out of their email accounts if you have to let them go for whatever reason.<\/p>\n<p>Disgruntled employees may use this opportunity to send out damaging email messages about your organization, or they may remain with confidential company information in these \u2018private\u2019 email accounts that they can use in their next job (perhaps at your competitor\u2019s company).<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, with professional custom domain email accounts, you can freeze their email accounts or contact your business email service provider for assistance in freezing their email accounts once they leave the organization.<\/p>\n<p>So what is the Best Business Email Solution?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MailSafi_Email_Collaboration_A_Secure_Email_Alternative_for_Business\"><\/span>MailSafi Email &amp; Collaboration: A Secure Email Alternative for Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: black;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, some free email services, such as Gmail, undoubtedly have many useful features. <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-best-email-security-solution-for-your-business\/\">Choosing a secure email provider<\/a> does not mean you have to give up anything regarding features.<\/p>\n<p>MailSafi Email allows you to send emails securely and share your calendar and contacts with others within your organization.
