Replaced Apollo overnight. Reply rate went from 2% to 14% in week one. Wish I found this sooner.

I sent 300 emails on day one. By week 2 I had a closed deal. The verification alone is worth it.
Carlos V.Sales Lead, Series B · Verified on Trustpilot★★★★★
47 demos booked in 30 days. The unlimited sending is a game changer, I used to pay $300/mo for half this.

Answer
What is a cold email domain?
A cold email domain is a separate domain, usually a close lookalike of your brand such as getacme.com, that you send cold outreach from instead of your main domain. It carries its own SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and forwards visitors to your real site, so any reputation damage stays off your main domain.
The rule
Never send cold email from your main domain
Mailbox providers score reputation per domain. Give cold email its own.
Invoices and support stay safe
A flagged domain is swapped, not fixed
Volume spread across several domains
Prospects still land on your site
acme.com
Main domain: never sends cold
Invoices and receipts
Support replies
Team mail
Password resets

A cold email domain is a separate domain you send cold outreach from, usually a close lookalike of your brand such as getacme.com for acme.com. It has its own SPF, DKIM and DMARC records and forwards visitors to your real website, so the reputation risk of cold email stays off your main domain.
Why should I not send cold email from my main domain?
Your main domain also carries invoices, support replies, password resets and everyday team mail. If cold outreach triggers spam complaints, mailbox providers judge the whole domain, and that mail starts landing in spam too. Separate sending domains can be rested or replaced. Your main domain cannot.
Are these aged domains or pre warmed domains?
Neither. They are fresh lookalike .com registrations with DNS done, which is why they cost a fraction of aged or pre-warmed domains. Add inboxes and warm them for 2 to 3 weeks before real campaigns. If you need to send on day one, buy pre-warmed mailboxes instead: those come with domains that already have sending history.
Which DNS records do you configure?
SPF, DKIM and DMARC on every domain, plus forwarding of the domain and www to your main website. The MX record points to your mailbox provider and is set when inboxes are added, either by you or through our Google Workspace or Outlook inbox orders.
Do I own the domains?
Yes. Each domain is registered for 12 months in a registrar account that is transferred to you on request, at any time. You are never locked in to Getlead to keep using them.
How many cold email domains do I need?
A common setup is 3 inboxes per domain and about 25 cold emails per inbox a day once warm, which is roughly 75 a day per domain. For 500 cold emails a day that means 7 domains with 21 inboxes. Keep one or two spare domains so a resting domain never stalls a campaign.
Do the domains come with inboxes?
No, this order is domains and DNS only. Add Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 inboxes on top, or order the full cold email infrastructure setup, where we handle domains, inboxes, warmup and your sequencer in one go.
