Pricing

All mailboxes are included in the bundle price. No additional per-mailbox charges.

Why do top lead generation agencies prefer Azure although it's expensive from a sending volume perspective?

Top agencies prioritize total cost of ownership over per-email costs. Azure delivers 80-90% reduction in domain management overhead, complete client isolation preventing cross-contamination, superior longterm deliverability, and professional positioning with enterprise clients. These benefits that far outweigh higher sending costs.

How to Purchase InboxKit Azure Domains & Email Accounts

Step 1: Navigate to Buy Domains + Emails

• Go to Settings > Buy Domains + Emails to open the domain and email purchase page.

Step 2: Choose Azure as Your Email Service Provider

• You will see a modal titled “Choose your preferred Email Service Provider” with multiple provider cards. Select the Azure card which shows:
  • Managed by: InboxKit
  • Domain + 50 Mailboxes: $35/month
• Click “Continue with Azure” to proceed.

Step 3: Acknowledge the Warmup Notice

• Before proceeding, you will see an important “Azure Mailbox Warmup Notice” modal:

  • All purchased Azure mailboxes undergo a mandatory 14-day warmup period during which they will only send warmup emails to build domain reputation before becoming available for cold email sending.

    Note: After the 14-day warmup period, each mailbox can send a maximum of 2 cold emails per day, with a combined limit of 100 cold emails per day across all 50 mailboxes in an Azure tenant.

• Click “I understand, continue” to proceed.

Step 4: Search for Available Domains

• On the “Find your domain” screen:
  • Enter a keyword related to your brand (e.g., yourbrand) in the search field.
  • Click “Find Professional Domains”.
  • Wait while the system checks domain availability (this may take 30-60 seconds).
• The results will show a list of available domains with:
  • Domain name(e.g., yourbrand.com, yourbrand.co, yourbrand.net)
  • Availability status (Available / Unavailable)
  • Premium badge (if the domain is a premium domain)
• Select one domain by clicking the checkbox next to it, then click “Next: Configure your domain settings”.

Step 5: Set Your Domain Redirect URL

• On the “Connect Selected Domains to Your Website” screen:
  • Enter your Main Website URL (e.g., https://your-main-website.com)
  • This URL is where visitors will be redirected if they type your purchased domain directly into a browser
  • The URL must include the protocol (http:// or https://)
• Click “Continue to Email Setup” to proceed.

Step 6: Create Email Accounts

• On the “Create Email Accounts” screen, you can add mailboxes in two ways:

Option A: Add Manually

For each mailbox, fill in:

• First Name- The sender’s first name
• Last Name- The sender’s last name
• Email Username - The part before the @ sign (e.g., john.doe for [email protected])

Click “Add another mailbox” to add more mailboxes (up to 50 per domain).

Option B: Upload CSV

• Click the “Upload CSV” tab
• Download the sample CSV template using the “Download sample CSV” link
• Fill in the CSV with columns: first_name, last_name, username
• Drag & drop or click to upload your CSV file

Username rules:

• Lowercase only, no spaces
• Only letters, numbers, dots, hyphens, and underscores allowed
• Cannot start or end with special characters
• Cannot have consecutive special characters

The right panel will show all your added mailboxes under “Your New Email Accounts” with a count (e.g., “10 emails selected”).

Click “Review and Purchase” when you’re done adding mailboxes.

Step 7: Review & Buy

• On the “Review & Buy” screen:
  • Verify your selected domain name
  • Review the list of mailboxes to be created
  • Confirm the pricing ($35/month for domain + mailboxes bundle)
• Click “Purchase” to complete the transaction.

Step 8: Wait for Provisioning

• After purchase, you will see a “Registration in Progress” screen:
  • Do not close this page to avoid interruptions
  • Domain activation typically takes 30-45 minutes
  • Mailbox provisioning can take up to 2 hours
• Once complete, you will see a “Registration Complete!” confirmation with a summary of your purchased domain and mailboxes.
