Not tied to one person’s Apple ID
With iCloud+, the custom domain belongs to the subscriber’s Apple account. If that person leaves or their account has a problem, the business email goes with it. HavitoMail mailboxes belong to your business account.

Business controls
Add or remove mailboxes, create aliases, set a per-domain catch-all and vacation replies from one admin dashboard.
Still perfect on Apple devices
Add HavitoMail to the iPhone and Mac Mail apps over standard IMAP/SMTP — you keep the Apple experience without the Apple ID lock-in.
Proper authentication per domain
Per-domain DKIM keys plus SPF and DMARC guidance with live checks, so your business domain is set up for good deliverability.
Several business domains
Run up to 5 domains under one account for one flat price of $19/year (₹1,499 in India).
FAQ
iCloud+ Custom Email Domain alternative — FAQs
Can I use iCloud custom email domain for my business?
You can, but it is designed for personal and family use. The domain is linked to the iCloud+ subscriber’s Apple ID, only Family Sharing members can get addresses on it, and there is no business admin console. For staff mailboxes, a business email service is a better fit.
Will HavitoMail work in Apple Mail on my iPhone?
Yes. Add it as an IMAP account in Settings → Mail → Accounts, or on a Mac in Mail → Add Account → Other Mail Account, using the server details shown in your dashboard.
How do I move my domain from iCloud to HavitoMail?
Copy your existing messages over IMAP (iCloud Mail supports IMAP with an app-specific password), then remove the domain in iCloud settings and replace its MX, SPF and DKIM records with the values from the HavitoMail DNS wizard.
Is there a free plan?
There is no free-forever plan, but every new account gets a 14-day free trial with 1 domain and 1 mailbox — no credit card needed to start. After that, Pro is $19/year (₹1,499/year in India) for 5 domains, 20 mailboxes, and 10 GB of storage.
