Custom email domain is the name of your brand or website domain that you use to generate email addresses for your company, instead of using the email provider's generic name. For example, a custom email domain can be used to create email addresses in the format user@yourdomain.com.

Custom domain email address for your business
When it comes to communication between different organizations or businesses, the most formal and reliable way is to send emails. To make your brand stand out and look authentic, all official communication should come from custom email addresses that contain your business' domain—for instance, user@yourdomain.com. You can get started by creating a domain for your business and then setting up custom email addresses in your domain.
Why is a custom domain email address good for your business?
Besides helping you showcase your own identity in your communications, custom domain email addresses have many other benefits.
Brand visibility
When a prospect looks at your email address, they will quickly be able to find your business by looking up your domain name.
Credibility
An email address that contains your business name sounds more official and trustworthy than an email address that doesn't have a custom domain.
Consistency
As your workforce grows, you can standardize email addresses and create consistent group addresses for roles, like support@yourdomain.com.
Brand marketing
While there are numerous ways to market your business name, a custom email address is the simplest.
