Everything you need for business email
Proper email on your own domain, with calendars and contacts, run on our own servers. Here’s what you get, in plain English.
Mailboxes on your own domain
Addresses like sarah@yourbusiness.co.uk for everyone on your team. Mailboxes use the standard IMAP and SMTP protocols, so they work with Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird and the mail apps on iPhone and Android.
Webmail
Read and send email from any browser at mail.ztdoffice.com. Useful on a shared computer or when you’re away from your own.
Calendar and contacts
Each mailbox comes with a calendar and an address book. They sync to your phone and computer, and you can send and answer meeting invitations.
Shared inboxes
An inbox such as accounts@ or office@ that several people can open and work from, so nothing gets missed when someone is away. Included with Premium and Business.
Groups and aliases
A group sends one address to several people (sales@ to the whole sales team). An alias is an extra address for one person (info@ landing in your own inbox).
Spam filtering
Incoming mail is checked against blocklists and spam rules before it reaches you. Likely spam goes to your Junk folder, so you can still check it.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC
These are records on your domain that tell other mail servers your email is genuine. We set them up for every domain we host. They help your mail reach inboxes and make it harder for others to send email pretending to be you.
Control panel for your admin
Whoever looks after IT in your business gets a login at admin.ztdoffice.com to add people, reset passwords, and manage groups and aliases. Two-factor sign-in is available.
Guides for moving your email
Bring your existing email, folders, contacts and calendar with you. Our step-by-step guides show how, for Gmail, Microsoft 365, web hosts and other providers.
Online meetings Coming soon
Video calls with a link added to your calendar invitations. We’re still building this and it isn’t available yet. Premium and Business plans will include it.

Moving to ZTD Office
Coming from another provider
Most moves follow the same pattern: copy the old mail with an email app, then point the domain at us. You don’t give anyone your old password.
Gmail and Google Workspace
Copy your mail and folders with Thunderbird, signed in to Google (Gmail labels become folders). Export your contacts and calendar and import them in webmail. Gmail guide
Microsoft 365 and Outlook
Copy your mailbox and folders in Outlook or Thunderbird, bring your contacts and calendar, and keep using Outlook with your new mailbox. Microsoft 365 guide
Website hosts and older providers
Email that came with your web hosting, or from an older provider, can almost always be copied over IMAP with a free email app. Web host guide
Every plan includes the guides. Moving is done with apps you already have, at your own pace, and your old email keeps working until you switch your domain. All guides
