What is Premium Inboxes?

Premium Inboxes is a managed Google Workspace inbox provider built specifically for cold email operators who need reliable, pre-configured mailbox infrastructure without the overhead of manual DNS configuration and account setup. The service delivers verified, campaign-ready inboxes within 12 to 24 hours, handling complete technical buildout—including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX records, and custom domain tracking—based on best practices refined across more than 70,000 cold email deployments. By eliminating the complexity of workspace provisioning and authentication setup, Premium Inboxes allows outbound teams to scale inbox capacity rapidly while maintaining deliverability standards.

Unlike commodity resellers that simply provide login credentials and DNS instructions, Premium Inboxes positions itself as a white-glove managed service. The team handles end-to-end DNS personalization, validates authentication alignment, and integrates finished inboxes directly into customers’ preferred sending platforms (Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist). This turnkey approach reduces setup friction from days to minutes and ensures inboxes enter campaigns with properly configured authentication and tracking infrastructure.

Premium Inboxes also includes operational safeguards like free inbox replacement for blacklisted accounts and 24/7 support for technical troubleshooting. While the service does not bundle native warmup automation, it provides structured warmup guides and deliverability checklists that help operators manage reputation buildup through third-party tools. The offering is optimized for teams that value speed, reliability, and hands-off infrastructure management over bare-bones commodity pricing.

Core Services

Google Workspace Inbox Provisioning

Premium Inboxes creates official Google Workspace mailboxes on custom domains provided by customers. Each inbox is a fully functional Gmail account with standard storage, collaboration features, and access to Google’s deliverability infrastructure. Accounts are provisioned through reseller channels that allow volume pricing and rapid deployment.

Complete DNS Configuration and Testing

The service handles full DNS setup for each inbox, including MX records for mail routing, SPF and DKIM records for sender authentication, DMARC policies for domain protection, and CNAME records for custom domain tracking. All records are validated against a test suite informed by 70,000+ prior deployments to ensure proper alignment before inboxes enter production campaigns. Customers receive a complete, working configuration rather than instructions to implement themselves.

Authentication Framework Setup

Every inbox ships with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC pre-configured and tested. This ensures outbound mail passes industry-standard authentication checks and avoids common misalignment issues that trigger spam filtering. Premium Inboxes validates authentication end-to-end before marking accounts as campaign-ready, reducing the risk of early reputation damage due to configuration errors.

Platform Integration and Upload

The team integrates finished inboxes directly into customers’ sending platforms, including Instantly, Smartlead, and other popular cold email tools. This includes SMTP credential configuration, inbox connection validation, and initial account organization. Operators receive inboxes that are already connected to their workflows rather than requiring manual integration.

Inbox Health Safeguards

Premium Inboxes offers free replacement inboxes if an account becomes blacklisted or suffers reputation damage during campaigns. This policy protects outbound operations from prolonged downtime when individual inboxes encounter deliverability issues. Replacement turnaround follows the same 12–24 hour provisioning standard.

Warmup and Deliverability Guidance

While Premium Inboxes does not provide native inbox warmup automation, customers receive a structured Inbox Warm-Up Guide and Deliverability Checklist covering ramp schedules, volume pacing, content best practices, and monitoring metrics. Operators are expected to execute warmup sequences using third-party tools (Instantly Warmup, Warmup Inbox, Mailreach) but benefit from proven playbooks refined across thousands of account launches.

White-Glove Support

The service includes 24/7 access to support specialists who handle SPF/DKIM troubleshooting, platform integration issues, DNS validation questions, and inbox replacement requests. Support is delivered via email and chat with emphasis on rapid resolution to minimize campaign disruption.

Pricing & Engagement Models

Premium Inboxes uses a per-inbox monthly subscription model with pricing tiers based on volume and delivery speed:

  • Entry-Level Pricing: $3.50 per inbox per month for standard 12-hour delivery. This tier includes complete DNS setup, authentication configuration, platform integration, and access to replacement inboxes and support.
  • Expedited Delivery Upgrade: Optional 6-hour delivery available for operators requiring faster turnaround on new inbox orders. Pricing for this upgrade tier is custom-quoted based on order size.
  • Volume and Enterprise Pricing: Customers purchasing larger inbox quantities or requiring dedicated account management should contact Premium Inboxes for custom quotes. Pricing structure beyond entry-level is not publicly listed, requiring direct engagement with the sales team.
  • No Setup Fees: All DNS configuration, testing, authentication setup, and platform integration are included in the monthly subscription. There are no separate onboarding or provisioning charges.
  • Billing Cycle: Monthly recurring charges with flexibility to scale inbox count up or down as campaign needs evolve.

Customers are responsible for sourcing and owning their own domains; Premium Inboxes does not provide domain procurement services but can offer guidance on registrars and domain selection strategies.

Best Fit For

Premium Inboxes is designed for cold outreach operators who prioritize speed, reliability, and hands-off technical management over bare-minimum commodity pricing. Ideal customer profiles include:

  • Outbound Teams Scaling Rapidly that need 10–100+ inboxes deployed weekly without dedicating internal resources to DNS configuration and authentication troubleshooting.
  • Agencies Managing Multi-Client Campaigns where white-glove setup and reliable deliverability reduce client-facing risk and onboarding friction across diverse domain portfolios.
  • Revenue Teams Without Deep Technical Expertise who lack in-house DNS or email infrastructure skills and benefit from turnkey provisioning with validation and testing included.
  • Operators Prioritizing Deliverability Over Cost who are willing to pay a premium above commodity resellers in exchange for pre-tested configurations, free replacements, and responsive support.
  • Teams Using Instantly, Smartlead, or Similar Platforms who value direct platform integration and inbox uploads as part of the provisioning workflow.

Premium Inboxes is less suitable for operators who already have robust internal DNS and infrastructure capabilities and can execute configuration independently at lower cost through commodity resellers. Teams requiring Microsoft 365 or custom SMTP infrastructure will also find the Google Workspace-exclusive offering limiting. Additionally, operators seeking fully automated warmup sequences bundled into the service will need to integrate third-party tools separately.

  • Replacement Requests: If an inbox becomes blacklisted or experiences reputation issues, customer submits a replacement request and receives a new inbox within the standard delivery window at no additional charge.
  • Support Access: 24/7 support available for DNS troubleshooting, platform integration issues, authentication validation, and operational questions.

Continuous Improvement

Premium Inboxes incorporates performance data from each deployment into its DNS configuration and testing templates, refining best practices over time. Customers benefit from evolving standards without needing to research or implement deliverability updates independently.

Evaluating Premium Inboxes

Premium Inboxes offers a compelling balance of speed, service quality, and operational simplicity for teams that value turnkey infrastructure over absolute minimum cost. The 12–24 hour provisioning window, complete DNS buildout, and free replacement policy reduce technical overhead and campaign risk, while white-glove support ensures responsive troubleshooting. Before committing, confirm your team is comfortable with Google Workspace as the exclusive mailbox platform and is prepared to integrate third-party warmup tools independently. Request a pilot order of 5–10 inboxes to validate provisioning timelines, DNS accuracy, platform integration quality, and support responsiveness before scaling to production volumes. For teams requiring Microsoft 365, custom SMTP infrastructure, or fully bundled warmup automation, evaluate alternative providers alongside Premium Inboxes to ensure service scope aligns with technical requirements and budget.
