Email Hosting

Email hosting is a dedicated service that works independently from website hosting. So even while getting everything set up, your business will still be able to operate at full scale.

Most web service providers do offer email hosting and it comes as a standard with may web hosting packages. Alternatively, you can also consider buying a domain name and integrating that with an email service like Gmail. 

Email account setups are usually done in your web hosting control panel. In most cases, setting up an email account is as simple as creating the username in the email control panel, then setting up limitations on account size. 

A mail server is a computer system that receives and sends emails with the help of SMTP, IMAP or POP3 protocol. Mail servers and web servers are combined in a single machine and offered as a package deal. But large internet service providers and public email services make use of dedicated hardware.  

A computer system needs mail server software in order to perform as a mail server. Such software will make it possible for the system administrator to generate and manage email accounts for domains that are hosted on the server. 

Web hosting operates by providing clients with a server on which their website will be housed.  It also provides the resources it needs to stay connected and operational.  

Email is a common service that is often offered both by domain registrars and web hosting companies. Email uses a different kind of software and protocol for being sent and received. Unlike a web host that can host both email and website functions, the servers of an email host and its resources are strictly meant for email purposes.  

The type of email hosting that will work best for you will depend on your current and future needs. In order to determine which will work best for you, take into consideration factors such as cost, speed, storage space, accessibility, uptime, and how much privacy and security you need.
