The email has become a favorite mode of communication these days. Not just for personal purposes, even most business communication is through emails now. Some businesses desire an identity that’s different from the others in the crowd. These businesses go for email hosting services where they receive email hosting on their own domain name. 

There are several types of email hosting providers in the market. There are free services too but these offer extremely basic solutions and are typically sub-par as compared to professional email hosting services. Most of these are also ad-supported, which makes them quite a pain to work with. It is, in the long run, better to work with professional providers than risk your emails with the poor security features offered by these free services.



A bouquet of features

Most cheap email hosting services offers a wide array of email features. These are:

  1. Autoresponders

  2. Unlimited aliases and forwarders

  3. Mail rules

  4. Large attachments

  5. Contacts management

  6. Archiving

  7. Blacklists

  8. Whitelists

  9. Folder management

  10. Calendars

  11. Online storage

  12. Backups

  13. IMAP/POP3

  14. Mailing lists

Apart from these, the spam/virus protection features that these services provide are quite robust in nature. That puts the client’s mind to rest since many emails might contain sensitive information that they wouldn’t want falling in the hands of the wrong person/s. 

The best feature of these all is the ability to access the mail via webmail from anywhere in the world at any time of the day or night. All one has to do is use their smartphone or similar device. They can use Outlook too to access their emails.

Affordability is a major benefit of these services. They offer the added advantage that the client does not have to hire and train an in-house IT team to manage the email server. This helps them saves on effort, cost, and time. 

The business email requirements of one client may be dramatically different from another. Keeping this factor in mind, many email service providers offer free email trial periods where the client can try out the service for a specific period of time and take a call on whether they want to continue with it or not. Some providers go the extra mile and offer customized services where the client can tweak the service to match the needs of their business.

Some businesses might want to send bulk emails to their customers. There are several Bulk Email Providers that offer this service to their clients. There are many self-hosted bulk email hosting providers too. Most providers have the feature that tweaks the mail in such a way that it is not labeled as spam, as is mostly the case with bulk mails. When users utilize one server to send emails in bulk, the delivery time is reduced, which is seen as a drawback by some.
