Why Use Zoho Mail?

Many entrepreneurs want a professional email address that matches their domain. Traditionally, people use services like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, but these platforms can be expensive and often include many tools you may not need.

Zoho Mail is a great alternative because:

• It allows you to create professional email addresses using your domain
• It is typically more affordable than Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
• It is focused specifically on email hosting
• It works perfectly alongside your FEA Create website and funnels

If you simply want a reliable inbox for emails like [email protected], Zoho Mail is a simple and effective solution.


What You Need Before You Start

Before setting up Zoho Mail, make sure you have the following:

1. A domain purchased inside FEA Create
For example: yourdomain.com

2. Access to your FEA Create DNS settings
You will need this to add a few records that connect your domain to Zoho Mail.

3. A Zoho Mail account
You will create this during setup.

4. The email address you want to create
Examples include:


How Long Does Setup Take?

Most users complete this setup in 10–20 minutes.

In some cases, DNS updates may take a little time to propagate across the Internet. If that happens, it can take up to 30–60 minutes before everything is fully active.


Step-by-Step: Setting Up Zoho Mail

Follow the steps below to connect Zoho Mail to your FEA Create domain.


Step 1: Create Your Zoho Mail Account

  1. Click Sign Up

  2. Choose the option to use your existing domain

  3. Enter your domain name
    Example: yourdomain.com

  4. Create your Zoho admin account

This will become the administrator account for managing your email.


Step 2: Add Your Domain

After signing up, Zoho will guide you through adding your domain.

Enter your domain name again when prompted.

Example:

yourdomain.com

Step 3: Verify Domain Ownership

Zoho needs to confirm that you own the domain.

They will provide a TXT verification record.

It will look something like this:

Type: TXT   Name/Host: @   Value: zoho-verification=zb12345678

Step 4: Add the Verification Record in FEA Create

Now you will add this record to your domain inside FEA Create.

  1. Log in to FEA Create

  2. Go to Settings

  3. Click Domains

  4. Select your domain

  5. Open DNS Records

  6. Click Add Record

Add the following:

Type: TXT
Host: @
Value: (paste the Zoho verification code)

Save the record.

Return to Zoho and click Verify.


Step 5: Create Your Email Address

Once your domain is verified, Zoho will prompt you to create your first mailbox.

Example:

This will be your primary inbox.


Step 6: Connect Your Domain to Zoho (MX Records)

To receive email, you need to point your domain’s mail servers to Zoho.

Inside Zoho, you will see instructions with MX records.

They will look similar to this:

MX Record 1 Host: @ Value: mx.zoho.com Priority: 10  MX Record 2 Host: @ Value: mx2.zoho.com Priority: 20  MX Record 3 Host: @ Value: mx3.zoho.com Priority: 50

Now go back to FEA Create DNS Settings.

  1. Open your domain

  2. Go to DNS Records

  3. Delete any existing MX records

  4. Add the Zoho MX records above

  5. Save your changes

This step tells the internet that Zoho will handle your email.


Step 7: Add SPF Record (Recommended)

SPF helps prevent spam and improves deliverability.

Add a new DNS record in FEA Create:

Type: TXT
Host: @
Value:

v=spf1 include:zoho.com ~all

Save the record.


Step 8: Add DKIM (Recommended)

DKIM helps email providers trust messages sent from your domain.

Inside Zoho:

  1. Go to Admin Console

  2. Open Domains

  3. Select your domain

  4. Click DKIM

  5. Generate a DKIM record

Zoho will provide another TXT record to add to your DNS inside FEA Create.

Once added, return to Zoho and click Verify.


Step 9: Test Your Email

Once everything is connected:

  1. Send an email from your personal email to
    [email protected]

  2. Reply from your Zoho inbox.

If both messages are sent and received correctly, your setup is complete.
