Worth knowing: Custom domain included on every iCloud+ tier. Cheapest is 50GB at $0.99/mo, 200GB is $2.99/mo. Only sensible if the whole business is already on Apple devices.
Custom-domain business email. The cheap end is genuinely cheap, and the gap between $1 and $12 per user buys far less than the pricing pages imply.
