A new domain is a brand promise. The first email a customer gets from it should look like it came from a company that has its act together: your name, your domain, signed and verified.

Two kinds of "business email"

Your inbox. you@yourdomain for one-to-one mail. Your domain registrar or a mailbox host covers this.
Your list. Launch notes, newsletters and product updates sent to many people at once. This is where MailCheap fits.
