This article will provide you 3 most important notes when considering choosing email by company domain name, whether you have never used it or are looking to switch to a new provider.
1/ Choosing a domain name for business email
To be able to create an email under your company domain name, you first need to have domain name (domain). (In case you don't know, domain-specific email is made up of two parts: the domain name, and the email addresses belonging to that domain.). Once you have a domain name, you can create email addresses for users according to your wishes.
Eg: Email address nguyenhoa@tencongty.com then The part after the @ sign is called the domain name.
Usually businesses will use this domain name as the website address. For example, Gimasys company will have a website address of: https://gimasys.com/ and the email address will be in the form ho-ten-people-dung@gimasys.com. So, if your company already has a website, you just need to get the administrative information of that domain to register for an email service.
Note: You must know the administrative information of the domain name to verify that the domain name belongs to your company and not someone else's, this also helps your company avoid cases of intentional impersonation, fraud. Island.
Notes when choosing a domain name for your company:
- Brand matching: You can take the company name or the name of the service or product that you provide to make a domain name, or you can also combine both. However, when reading it, it should be relevant and directly reminiscent of your business.
- Easy to read, easy to remember: Since this domain name will be used as both the website address as well as the email address, they should be short and concise, otherwise it will be difficult for customers who need to find you on the internet. If your company has a long brand and product name (or a foreign name) then you may want to consider just choosing the initials (abbreviations).

For example, an email with a domain name containing the "-" sign may be more susceptible to spam.
- Domain name “.com” / “.vn” / “.com.vn” ….: These are the most popular domain extensions in Vietnam today. If you want your address to be easily searched from other countries because the product is aimed at foreign markets, you can choose the domain name ".com".
