It can forward email sent to custom addresses on your domain to a verified destination inbox, and can also route messages to Email Workers for workflow-based handling. This is ideal for forwarding, alias, and proxy-style business email use cases.

Business Emails Frequently Asked Questions
-
What business email solutions does HostKing support?
We support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for full mailbox-based business email, and Cloudflare Email Routing for forwarding, alias, and proxy-style business email workflows. We help clients choose the right option based on whether they need full user mailboxes, simple forwarding, or both.
-
Do you offer IMAP or POP3 mailbox hosting?
No. HostKing no longer offers standalone IMAP or POP3 mailbox hosting. Instead, we help businesses move to current business-email solutions such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Cloudflare Email Routing where forwarding is the better fit.
-
When should I choose Microsoft 365?
Microsoft 365 is usually the best fit if your team works heavily in Outlook, Teams, shared calendars, and the Microsoft ecosystem. It is a strong option for businesses that want full user mailboxes, Microsoft admin controls, and standardised collaboration tools across the team.
-
When should I choose Google Workspace?
Google Workspace is a strong choice if your team prefers Gmail, browser-based work, Google Meet, and collaboration in Docs, Sheets, and Drive. It is often a natural fit for teams that want simple administration and a Google-first workflow.
-
When should I use Cloudflare Email Routing?
Cloudflare Email Routing is useful when you need branded addresses that forward to an existing inbox instead of separate hosted mailboxes. Common use cases include role addresses like hello@yourbusiness.com.au, shielding a personal inbox behind a public business address, or simple forwarding workflows that do not justify a full mailbox subscription.
-
Can I use my existing business domain name?
Yes. We can connect your existing domain to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Cloudflare Email Routing. HostKing handles the DNS work, domain verification, and email configuration needed to get your business addresses working properly.
