Whether you’re using Shared Hosting, Cloud Hosting, Reseller Hosting, or VPS, this guide will walk you through every step.
1. Why Use a Business Email Instead of Gmail?

Clients trust support@yourdomain.com
more than yourbusiness@gmail.com

This ensures email is delivered properly.
6. Setting Up Spam Filters (Optional but Recommended)
cPanel → Spam Filters
Recommended settings:
-
Enable SpamAssassin

✔ DMARC
Prevents spoofing and phishing.
AxiomHost automatically adds SPF & DKIM when your domain uses AxiomHost nameservers.
