Vultr Setup
Free Gmail Professional Business Email
This tutorial solves a lot of (WordPress) email issues. Using SMTP for WordPress take a little setup, but everyone should learn how to do this! We share a great free solution using the WP Mail SMTP plugin. This is super useful when using a cloud VPS, such as the popular options from Cloudways, Digital Ocean, Vultr and Linode.
This will fix a number of common issues such as:
WordPress WooCommerce emails not sending
WordPress emails going to junk
WordPress password reset email not sending
WordPress contact form email not sending (e.g. WP Forms, Contact Form 7)
Also, If you're looking to set up free business email addresses using your own domain name, check out my previous tutorials:

However, take advantage of the other free trials too, you will learn a lot and build some great experience.
