This question already has an answer here:
What should a professional email address look like?
5 answers
When starting a new company with a website, is it more professional to use an email in the format email@mydomain.com rather than email@gmail.com?
Why would it make a difference?
I took a look at the post found here so now I know what to put before the @ sign, but I'd like to know which domain to use.

You can use gmail as your domain email source. But, I think your company should have a distinct company email name. Going with Google risks (1) looking rinky-dink (small time), and (2) what do you do when (ok, if) you become successful - do you still use Gmail for everyone?

If you have a business using email on your own domain is basically a requirement. No one is going to take you seriously if you're using a free email account to run your business.
If you like the ease-of-use of Gmail, and want their spam protection and other features, you can get Google Apps and use your domain in Gmail: https://apps.google.com
Don't setup forwarders or anything like that, because when you reply it's going to show as coming from your Gmail account. It's $5/user/month to do it right.

Other people have answered this question, but not in a broad enough sense.
If you purchase a domain from a domain registrar, you can host it and have email associated with that domain name. For example, you purchase mydomain.com. You can have a website at www.mydomain.com and have email addresses like me@mydomain.com.
Most domain registrars are hosting provider can set this up for you. Your hosting provider can be Google, or just about any other ISP/hosting provider out there. You dont even have to have the website and the email hosted by the same provider. However, having one provider does make life a little easier.
I do agree having an email associated with your domain is more professional. While there is nothing inherently wrong with mycompany@gmail.com, some people will think you are a very small company.
