What are the ways to host your Business Emails
Mainly there are 5 ways people host Business Emails. Two are legit & recommended. And two are just the tweaks to get things running.These are as follows:
- Hosting it with your Website Host: Creation emails from your cPanel
This Generally works well if you only want to receive emails. Receiving too, depends on Server Resource Consumption & Right Configuration. This option is ok when you wouldn’t mind sending emails directly in Spam Folders. - Email Forwarders
Email forwarders are virtual email addresses, that forward the incoming emails to your actual email addresses. There are two ways to do it. One is setting forwarding in cPanel, second is using third party services. Using this you can create alias email address, and forwarding all emails to your own email address.Overall this option is a tweak, I wouldn’t recommend it as it is just extra pain in the neck to manage. - FREE Email Hosting via Business Email Providers
When you are just starting & are low on Marketing Budget, it is a must try. Benefit of this type of hosting is that Delivering rate of emails is like any other normal Email clients you use e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Naver, QQ etc. So, you don’t need to worry about whether your email is Delivered or not. Plus, you have features like Security, Native Email Apps & many more. Free Email hosting might come with some limitation depending on Provider e.g. on number of users, server space etc. But when you would reach the point of needing more resources, you would be at a point where you can upgrade without worries. Overall when starting, either Paid or Free Version is to go for. - Email hosting with Paid Email Hosting Providers
As the name suggests, it is the paid version of above with extra features. In other words, it’s for Organizations / Businesses who have bigger team or people who have more needs than in Free Versions.Features & Price depends on Service Provider. This type of Email service providers give more control to Administrators & have more features e.g. Team call Conferencing Software, Additional Management Tools, Upgraded Space etc.Overall, when you get to point B in Business where you can spend some bucks to give your team a bit of more comfort of use Email Software, that would be the time to go for this option. - Your Own Email Server
Having your own email server although is a rough task as it takes constant resources, but it does have its perks. These perks are Data Privacy, your own choice of Server, Underlying OS, Software, Antivirus, Level of Encryption, Policies and much more. If you have custom requirements with Data Privacy in mind, then may be having your own Server isn’t that bad of a Idea. This would come into picture for a Larger organization, unless you want to have some Fun with Email Hosting as well
