id=\"What_is_an_email_hosting_service\"><\/span>What is an email hosting service?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Email hosting is a service in which an email hosting provider rents out email servers to its users.<\/p>\n<p>Email hosting is not the same as <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-domain-name-registration\">domain hosting<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-web-hosting\">website hosting.<\/a> You may first check out our article which explains <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/email-hosting-web-hosting-and-domain-hosting-explained\/\">the difference between domain hosting, website hosting and email hosting.<\/a> Some service providers, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/email-security\">MailSafi<\/a>, offer all of these services, and you do not have to worry about signing up for each of these services with different service providers.<\/p>\n<p>While there are some free <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">email services,<\/a> there are downsides to using these for business. We discuss a few of these downsides below.<\/p>\n<section class=\"py-3 subscribers\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto text-center pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-center text-capitalize features-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Downside_of_using_Free_Email_Services_for_Business\"><\/span>The Downside of using Free Email Services for Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12 pt-3\">\n<p>Some of the most common free email services are @gmail, @yahoo, @hotmail, to name a few. The best thing about these services is that they are absolutely free (well, at least in monetary terms!). No commitment. No contract. You can join any time and close your account any time.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these email services are not recommended for business use for several reasons. These include:-<\/p>\n<div class=\"ml-3\">\n<p>\u2022 Because the email is not customized to your business, most visitors will doubt your authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 While they may have sufficient storage space to meet the needs of small businesses, for larger or heavier users, storage becomes limited, making it necessary to delete emails to continue using the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Most have annoying advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Untimely customer support and limited contact options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are email services specifically developed and structured with businesses and professionals in mind \u2013 not for personal use. We discuss the benefits of these below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"py-5 subscribers\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto text-center pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-center text-capitalize features-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Choosing_a_Professional_Email_Hosting_Service\"><\/span>Benefits of Choosing a Professional Email Hosting Service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12 text-center\"><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">While there are free versions of email hosting available, email hosting companies offer <\/span><a style=\"font-size: revert;\" href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">professional email hosting services<\/a><span style=\"font-size: revert;\"> which allow you to have your own custom domain email. Professional email hosting has proven to be more reliable than free versions of email available on the web. They allow you to have your custom domain name, i.e., <\/span><b style=\"font-size: revert;\">peter@kachooks.com<\/b><span style=\"font-size: revert;\">, instead of <\/span><b style=\"font-size: revert;\">peter@gmail.com<\/b><span style=\"font-size: revert;\"> or <\/span><b style=\"font-size: revert;\">peter@yahoo.com.<\/b><span style=\"font-size: revert;\"> These free email services undoubtedly have their place \u2013 they are more appropriate for personal communication than business.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\">Email hosting companies<\/a> host and manage your incoming and outgoing email on a separate shared or dedicated mail server. When done right, email hosting can revolutionize a business by offering a system to manage your emails well. With professional email hosting plans, you can also get additional tools to aid your email marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/15-must-have-features-for-your-spam-filtering-service\/\">benefits of choosing a professional email hosting<\/a> company for an <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">email hosting solution<\/a> for your business over a free email service:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ml-3\">\n<p>1. Yes, first impressions count! A custom email address may seem like a drop in the ocean when it comes to branding your business, but it\u2019s irrefutably essential. You can make a meaningful impact on your clients, shareholders, suppliers or partners in just one glance. A custom domain email address gives your business legitimacy.<\/p>\n<p>2. A custom domain email @yourcompanyname shows more credibility and professionalism than using any other free email service that cannot customize your domain. Most free email companies offer basic email, but you must use their domain (for instance, @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com @freemail.com). Such domain names no longer project a professional tone for businesses and do not inspire confidence in potential clients, shareholders, suppliers or partners. They\u2019re often associated with spammers or fraudsters.<\/p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">Professional email services<\/a> offer more storage space for email, and you don\u2019t have to worry about continuously deleting emails to create more space.<\/p>\n<p>4. Unlike with free email services, with professional email hosting, you have access to your email service provider to call\/email for help if anything goes wrong.<\/p>\n<p>5. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">email hosting services<\/a> will maintain and support our email for you. This is not only cheaper in the long run but will free up your IT teams to focus on other core business matters.<\/p>\n<p>Continuously monitoring, maintaining and supporting the company\u2019s email yourself or in-house will add to your expenses and increase the likelihood of computer infections resulting from viruses, malware, and increased risks of blacklisting, ransomware, phishing and spoofing attacks. Such problems may cause email downtime lasting several hours or days.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/best-5-email-hosting-providers-2023\/\">best email hosting providers<\/a> invest in infrastructure and resources to ensure redundancy should the primary mail server go down. They have tools to monitor systems and IT experts responsible for regularly updating email security systems (spam filtering).<\/p>\n<p>6. Some of the best professional email hosting providers in the market today (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">MailSafi<\/a>, Google, Microsoft) will also offer <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/file-sync-and-sharing\">team collaboration tools.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>7. Unlike ad-endorsed free email, domain email is free of ads and includes advanced email management solutions and creation features.<\/p>\n<p>8. Having your domain email (@yourdomain) tends to be safer and a lesser target for cybercriminals compared to, for instance, @gmail.com or @yahoo.com<\/p>\n<p>9. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">business email hosting<\/a> services come with additional features such as calendar, address book, tasks, notes, larger attachments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text-danger\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Hosted_Email\"><\/span><b>What is Hosted Email?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As an example, MailSafi offers free email hosting with our <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/mailsafi-web-hosting\">web hosting packages.<\/a> This is called shared hosting. However, this is an entry-level (shared hosting) service and does not offer the same benefits as our <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">professional email service,<\/a> a fully-managed email service. Read <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/email-hosting-on-a-shared-website-server\/\">more reasons<\/a> why hosting your email on a shared website server isn\u2019t such a great idea if you rely heavily on email for your business.

Free and shared email hosting platforms don\u2019t always deliver the kind of quality that professional users need. Professional <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">business email hosting services<\/a> are most likely to fit the needs of a growing business better.<\/p>\n<p>To deliver the best possible email experience, <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/15-must-have-features-for-your-spam-filtering-service\/\">professional email services include additional features such as<\/a>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ml-3\">\n<p>\u2022 A customized domain name that helps in building your business\u2019 brand.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 More storage space.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Easier to scalable.

This means you will only pay for what you need.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 More robust antivirus and email spam filters reducing the chances that your organization will be blacklisted on the internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Email uptime guarantee is higher with professional email hosting than shared website hosting which suffers more likelihood of downtime.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 No advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Some of the best business email hosting service providers have the added advantage of (optional) <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/file-sync-and-sharing\">team collaboration tools.<\/a> Collaboration tools make team work in organizations easier \u2013 read our article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/blog\/benefits-of-digital-collaboration\/\">benefits of digital collaboration in the workplace<\/a> to get a better understanding of how they can improve communication in your business.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Email synchronization across multiple devices, through webmail, smartphone and your favorite email client (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Using a third-party <a href=\"https:\/\/mailsafi.com\/business-email-hosting\">email hosting company<\/a> allows you to reduce your email management costs. Because maintenance and other updates are handled by your email service provider, you\u2019ll need fewer internal management resources (time, personnel, hardware, software, etc.). There is no need to hire a range of specialized IT staff dedicated to managing and maintaining internal email servers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Larger attachments.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 IMAP\/POP3\/Exchange active sync services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"py-5 subscribers\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-12 mx-auto text-center pb-3\">\n<h2 class=\"pb-3 text-center text-capitalize features-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MailSafi_First-Class_Email_Hosting_for_Business\"><\/span>MailSafi: First-Class Email Hosting for Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p>Today, many businesses rely heavily on email for communication between staff, with clients, suppliers, shareholders and partners.
