Apple boosts iCloud+ custom email limit to 10 addresses per domain

The number of personalized email addresses that iCloud+ subscribers can create using custom domains has increased to ten. This update represents a substantial expansion from the previous cap of three addresses per domain, offering greater flexibility for users who own their own web domains.

Expanded capacity for personal and business use

While standard email services typically charge monthly fees for custom domain integration, iCloud+ includes this feature at no additional cost for subscribers who already possess a domain. The service allows users to configure email endings that reflect personal identities or business names, a capability often cited as one of the platform’s most underutilized benefits.

The shift from three to ten addresses per domain is particularly relevant for small business owners and families managing shared digital identities. For households setting up individual accounts under a single family domain, the higher limit accommodates more members without requiring multiple domain purchases or complex workarounds.
