Email hosting for a Small Business
|
|
Touting for the wisdom of WHO here, ladies and gentleman furnish me with your knowledge please.
I want to buy a domain for my contracting business to host emails and possibly a couple of web pages. I'm looking for a low cost reliable solution, storage will be fairly minimal circa 500mb I would guess. Need to connect by IMAP to outlook and mobile for two accounts.
Someone recommended easily.co.uk? Any opinions on this?
Thanks all..

If you have a small website then you will get a few email accounts with your hosting package.
You can then sync the accounts to Gmail rather than bother with webmail.

Try and stay off the cloud unless you've got stuff you want nobody else to find out about.

MS is both more expensive and its products are less seamless than Google's.
Going for MS is just wasting 2£ a month per subscription.

Move to MS Office 365, email, intranet, office licensing, mobile apps, data storage, everything for a very low monthly fee. I've just moved a 500 user organisation to it and it has been brilliant.

Fasthosts does me a treat. £60 a year. Five web pages, the full monty, email alerts, notifications and a furious handjob on Shrove Tuesday.
Banging.

Vidahost - about 3.50 a month inc VAT.
Plus an ayrton or so per year for your domain name.
"Dot com" gives the impression of "a proper" history on the net insofar as domain name identity is concerned but, if you are not going beyond the UK, then .co.uk should be your preferred choice. ".net" at a push.
Be careful about domain name registration as a recent set of "TLDs" such as ".london", ".essex" or likewise have been released (with the sole intention of getting people to spend money they don't need to).
Try to stick with an all letter name unless a number is a clear part of your identity, and best to avoid punctuation characters like hyphens: many people don't really know how to effectively deal with them phonetically.

I use Goggle for my company email. It's cheap and effective.
Takes about 5 minutes to set up.
Just registered some domains with 123-reg and had no problems at all, changed the A/MX records and sorted the forwarding with no hassle.

Branded, bluehost or bluehosts? They both exist!
We use Google for our email hosting, easy, cheap and no problems.

Scan for commercial reasons rather than for spam/av?
