After purchase, Icemail shows the options for which mailbox type to assign to the domain. Continue with Buy mailboxes through Icemail (Google, Microsoft, IMAP/SMTP, Azure).

Choosing a good cold-email domain

  • Use a variation of your main brand, not the brand domain itself: getacme.com, acmehq.com, tryacme.com, acme-team.com. Never send cold email from your primary company domain.
  • Prefer .com, then .net, .org, .live. Icemail supports these TLDs; avoid cheap TLDs (.xyz, .info, .biz) that spam filters distrust.
  • Keep it short, readable and free of numbers or hyphen chains.
  • Check the domain's history before you buy. A previously used domain may be on a blocklist; Icemail runs a blacklist check before ordering and skips domains that fail.
  • Buy several domains at once and spread mailboxes across them (2–3 per domain).

Connecting a domain you already own instead

From Add Domain you can also connect an existing domain. Icemail gives you its nameservers; change the nameservers at your registrar, wait for propagation, then complete the order. Mailboxes only are charged. Until the nameservers point at Icemail, mailbox provisioning cannot complete.

Tips

  • Set the domain to forward to your main website so prospects who type it in land somewhere real. See Domain forwarding and MX records for cold-email domains.
  • Domains bought here appear under Domain in OutreachFox once mailboxes are imported. That is where you add a custom tracking domain.
  • Turn on wallet auto top-up if you buy domains regularly, so orders never fail on balance.

Troubleshooting

  • Domain shows as unavailable. Try a different variation or TLD. Icemail shows suggestions.
  • Order skipped a domain. The domain failed the pre-order blacklist check. Pick another name; a blacklisted domain will hurt deliverability from day one.
  • Insufficient balance. Top up the wallet, then retry the order.
