What is Email Hosting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Email hosting is a service where your email content is stored on a server. The email host hires out a server designed to handle all your email communication needs. It can either be the same server that\u2019s hosting your website content or a server managed by another host. It can also be two different servers managed by the same hosting company.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Please note that common and free webmail sites such as Yahoo and Google are not examples of email hosting.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The key difference between email and web hosting is that with email hosting, you are hiring a server that does nothing more than <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/email-hosting-web-hosting-and-domain-hosting-explained\/\">host emails<\/a>. <em>Yes, nothing else! Just email!<\/em> A business using this method for their emails must set up email addresses via a domain name. This way, it sends emails directly via the server itself rather than going through free webmail sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With email hosting, businesses will need to connect a registered domain name to their email servers. They can then use this to generate unique usernames for each user accessing the said server. For example, an employee of Kachooks Limited, may receive a unique address like <em>peter.simba@kachooks.com, <\/em>and the server will host all of the emails going to and coming from this email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike free webmail sites that cater to different users at a time, the email host usually provides a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">dedicated server<\/span>. This means it operates solely for a set number of accounts.&nbsp;The resources within that server will only be <em>reserved for a certain number of accounts<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that a businesses\u2019 requirements exceed the capacity of their current server, they can always scale up and have their emails stored on other servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sign up for MailSafi email hosting for your business <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/email-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">here<\/span><\/a><\/strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_What_is_Web_Hosting\"><\/span>2. What is Web Hosting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Web hosting <\/strong>is&nbsp;a service that enables your website to live on the internet and be accessible via web browsers. Your website or web content is hosted on a server or computer for others to access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as a house where you store all your belongings, but instead of storing your TV, beds, furniture, and clothes, you store computer files &#8211; HTML, documents, images, and\/or videos &#8211; in&nbsp;a web host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web hosting providers rent out their servers to store your website. They offer connectivity to their servers so that other users can access the files on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web hosting publishes a website online via a server. This differs fundamentally from email hosting in that <em>it hosts media that can be accessed even by viewers who neither own the domain nor are they part of the domain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on their servers&#8217; capabilities, a web hosting provider can cater to several sites at a time and multiple requests. Although some servers can manage only a certain number of requests due to their bandwidth limitations, this can often be scaled up depending on the service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>With web hosting, several websites can be hosted on a single server. These shared servers are the most basic units of web hosting.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a business\u2019s traffic and the number of requests grows, the business can choose to upgrade to servers that offer more bandwidth or to dedicated servers that host only their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click to <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-web-hosting\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">host your website with MailSafi<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_What_is_Domain_Hosting\"><\/span>3. What is Domain Hosting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domain hosting<\/strong> is a term that is loosely related to email and web hosting and therefore worth discussing for clarity. Your domain is the memorable name given to your website. For instance, a company <em>Kachooks<\/em>, may have a domain, <em>kachooks.com<\/em>. You register that name with a domain registrar, but you need domain hosting for that domain to be online. More often than not, you\u2019ll get domain and web hosting in at the same time. Likewise, many businesses also choose to have their domain, email and web hosting to be met by one service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to register your domain, you can do so on our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-domain-name-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">domain registration page<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Summary\"><\/span>4. Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In a nutshell: <\/strong>web hosting involves s<em>toring website files (and sometimes emails) on one or more servers<\/em>. Email hosting <em>refers solely to email data storage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In web hosting, the web host serves up webpages when someone types yourdomain.com&nbsp;into a web browser. In email hosting, the email host owns the server from which content is fetched when an email is sent to yourname@yourdomain.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They differ at the fundamental level that the former is about hosting your emails, while the latter your website. That said, both your emails and website can be hosted in one server or in two separate servers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens behind the scenes is actually pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>A website, domain, and related email accounts are three separate entities that can live in different places.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\">Visit our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">website <\/span><\/a><\/strong>or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">contact us<\/span><\/a><\/strong> today for all your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/email-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">email hosting<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-domain-name-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">domain hosting<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-web-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">web hosting<\/span><\/a><\/strong> needs. <\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_2506\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"2506\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon large\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Email hosting, web hosting, and domain hosting are essential constituents of conducting business in today\u2019s increasingly digital and mobile world.
