Free functions become paid: Tencent QQ mailbox re-launches domain name binding function but requires membership activation

In January 2020, the Tencent QQ mailbox project team issued a notice announcing that the personalized domain name mailbox function was offline. Users in need can go to Tencent Enterprise WeChat to reopen the personalized mailbox. At that time, Tencent Enterprise QQ mailbox was still providing personalized domain names. Function (later merged into Enterprise WeChat).

Originally, the personalized domain name mailbox was a free function. After the user registered the domain name, he could bind it to the QQ mailbox, so that he could allocate various mailboxes at will, such as (email protected) This kind of thing.

All the assigned mailboxes are collected through QQ mailbox. Overall, the experience is good. I didn't expect that this function would be stopped by the QQ mailbox project team at that time, and I didn't expect that it would be revived now.

A few days ago, some users have noticed that QQ mailbox has re-supported binding one's own domain name to realize personalized domain name, but this function is no longer available for free. Users must open a QQ mailbox membership before they can use it. The current price is 25 yuan/month, 300 yuan Yuan/year.

After becoming a member, you can go to QQ mailbox security and settings to add your own domain name. The mailbox domain name itself does not need to be registered and can be used after registration. During configuration, just add MX related records to the DNS server according to the requirements of QQ mailbox.

However, if there is a charge, the appeal of this function will decrease. After all, there are still many platforms that provide free domain name mailboxes, including but not limited to personalized domain name mailboxes provided by Feishu, personalized domain name mailboxes in Tencent Enterprise WeChat, The free version of enterprise email provided by Alibaba Cloud and the email routing provided by Cloudflare.

Therefore, users who have already opened a QQ mailbox membership are interested in registering a domain name binding to try. Users who have not opened a QQ mailbox and want to use a personalized domain name mailbox should change to another one.
