Add Email

Want to use a custom email address with your domain, such as info@yourgroovydomain.com?

WordPress.com offers an affordable, robust, hosted email solution called Professional Email, which gives you the ease of managing email from your WordPress.com account.

We also offer other solutions to meet your email needs described below. At any time, only one of the email options mentioned in this guide should be active on your domain. Multiple email services on the same domain will not work.

To add email to your domain, ensure you have a custom domain. Then go to Upgrades → Emails to view and select an email solution. The price for each email solution will be shown in your currency.
