A custom email is an email address that is created by an individual or business to represent their brand or identity. A custom email address is typically formatted as "[email protected]" and can be used to send and receive emails. Custom emails also provide a more professional look and feel to a business or individual's online presence.
Custom email addresses are typically associated with a domain name, which is the website address for a business or individual. With a custom email address, businesses can create a unique and personalized email address for their customers and clients, as well as for internal communication.
Custom email addresses are also used to create a more professional image for a business, as well as to protect the business from spam and other malicious emails.
