I’ve used several domain restriction tools in the past, but the Advanced Email Domain Restriction plugin stands out because of its simplicity and integration. What I love most is the ‘Bulk Upload’ feature—importing a long list of corporate domains via CSV saved me hours of manual entry. It’s lightweight, doesn’t slow down the site, and the custom error messages allow me to stay on-brand. Highly recommended for anyone running a membership site or a private corporate portal.
