Selecting the right inbox setup method is an important first step in your cold email outreach. Reachkit offers two main options: purchasing domains and inboxes directly through us, or connecting your existing email accounts.

Option 1: Done-For-You Setup (Buy Through Reachkit)

You can purchase domains and set up email inboxes directly through Reachkit. This is the easiest option if you’re starting fresh or want to expand your sending infrastructure without dealing with domain registrars and email providers yourself.

What You Get

Secondary domains (to protect your main domain’s reputation)
Email inboxes on those domains (Google or Microsoft)
Full DNS and email configuration handled by Reachkit
Domain forwarding to your primary website
Inboxes automatically connected and ready to warm up

How It Works

Select Done-For-You when adding inboxes
Enter your primary domain (e.g., yourcompany.com)
Reachkit suggests available secondary domains - select the ones you want
Choose how many inboxes per domain
Pick names for your senders and upload profile pictures
Set up domain forwarding (optional)
Choose Google or Microsoft for each domain’s inboxes
Complete checkout

After checkout, your inboxes appear immediately in the dashboard with a “Pending Setup” status. You can configure inbox settings right away while Reachkit sets up the domains, DNS records, and email accounts in the background. Once setup completes, your inboxes are ready to start warming.

Pricing

Domains are billed annually. Inboxes are billed monthly. You’ll see the exact pricing at checkout based on your selections.

Option 2: Connect Your Own Inboxes

If you already have email accounts or prefer to set them up yourself through a domain registrar or inbox reseller, you can connect them directly to Reachkit.

Which Option Should You Choose?

Choose Done-For-You if:

You’re starting fresh with cold email
You want the fastest, simplest setup
You don’t want to deal with DNS, domain registrars, or email provider configuration
You need to scale up your sending infrastructure quickly

Choose Self-Connection if:

You already have email accounts ready to use

Recommendation for Beginners

If you’re new to cold email, Done-For-You is the easiest path. You’ll have properly configured domains and inboxes without needing to understand DNS records or email authentication setup.

Whichever option you choose, make sure to enable warmup and let your inboxes warm for at least 3 weeks before launching campaigns.
