Web Hosting email accounts |
Email Accounts comes as a part of any hosting plan. With this one can have email accounts linked with the domain name. If I have a domain name www.mysite.com then I can create email accounts like myname@mysite.com. This is one of the main advantage of having own domain name as we need not use the email address of free service providers like hotmail, yahoo etc. If you are a small business owner then you can create email address like support@mysite.com , webmaster@mysite.com , sells@mysite.com, marketing@mysite.com to handle different areas and assign mailboxes to your employees. Even you can forward all the mails to one account. This way you can win the confidence of your customers. Your hosting plan should include email options with different facilities. From the hosting control panel different accounts can be created. We will discuss more on this here.
Number of email accounts: With the hosting plan number of email accounts is to be specified. Many hosts offer unlimited email accounts to create. But most of the time we may not need so many accounts unless the organization is too big in number and areas. For such type or requirements it is advisable to go for dedicated hosting. So number of email accounts required is to be accessed while going for a hosting plan. The space requirement against each account can be managed from the control panel so total space requirement is to be seen before hand the requirement comes up.
Web mail: We can manage our mails of our hosting accounts by using outlook exp or other mail management software. Web mail is a facility to manage mails from different locations with out having such software. With this we can connect to our email account from any part of the world with an internet connected PC by using any web browser. For this we can use free services like www.mail2web.com to access pop3 or imap4 accounts.
Spam Control: As obvious this is a big advantage in using email accounts of any hosting provider.
Auto responder: This is required to post some vacation messages with urgent contact numbers etc.
We can host our email accounts separately in other servers than hosting along with our web hosting account. For this MMX record of your hosting account has to be edited. Pointing to different server helps if your email server is reliable. Google offers this server through its google applications. You can use the gmail interface while handling your domain emails. This is a powerful service backed by google reliability.
