Email Hosting

Email hosting on a domain you own, no matter who hosts the website

Perhaps the website lives with another company. Maybe nothing has been built yet. In both cases the thing you actually need is mail running on a domain held in your name, and this plan was drawn up for exactly that. Ten mailboxes at 10 GB, webmail, IMAP on every device you own, spam filtering, and a migration that costs you nothing, from $2.99/mo.

Already hosting your website with us? You can skip past this.

Buy any hosting plan from us and mailboxes on your own name are included, with nothing added to the bill. Create them in cPanel and that is that. So the standalone plan on this page answers to a different buyer: the person whose site runs with another provider, or sits on a platform with no mail function at all, or who wants a working address settled before a single page goes live.

Unsure which camp you're in? Message us — and if that would have you paying for the same thing twice, we will say so.

Why Bother

An address that reads as a going concern

A free inbox reads as a hobby. An address at your own name says you are serious and staying — and it needs almost no upkeep.

Every message carries your name

Send from you@yourbusiness.com rather than some generic account handed out by a provider. Small change. Readers take the business as settled from the first line.

Threats filtered before they land

Every message arriving for you passes a spam and malware check first, so an attachment carrying something nasty never reaches the people who work for you.

Storage that survives a clear-out

Each inbox carries 10 GB behind it. Years of threads, files and shared folders can accumulate there and nothing needs deleting.

Reachable from anything

Webmail ships with the plan and will do the job on its own. Connect over IMAP, POP and SMTP instead, and Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail and your phone stay in step.

Inboxes for the whole team

Create up to ten mailboxes, add aliases for staff, departments or projects, and manage the whole set from one unfussy panel.

A free move, encrypted access

Bringing across the mail you already hold is free of charge. An SSL certificate guards webmail and renews itself when the time comes.

Your Name Throughout

Every inbox carries the name you already hold

For the money involved, almost nothing changes how a customer reads a business as much as an address matching the name over the door. Hand every person on the team an inbox on that name. Behind each one sits room to store what arrives, a webmail app kept up to date, and full access from Outlook, Apple Mail or a phone.

Spam and malware get caught by the filter as soon as a message arrives, an SSL certificate protects webmail at no extra charge, and moving the mail you hold now costs you nothing when our team does it.

  • Send and receive as you@yourdomain.com
  • Ten inboxes, 10 GB behind each
  • Up to 500 aliases and forwarders
  • Webmail beside IMAP, POP and SMTP

FAQ

Mail hosting, answered without spin

Does this run at my own name?

Yes, and that is the whole point of it. Mail sits on your own name, so anything you send or receive shows up as you@yourdomain.com. Is the domain parked with another registrar? Change its MX records to ours and it works from there. Own nothing yet? Buy one at checkout.

Do I need website hosting alongside it?

No. This is mail on its own account: inboxes on your domain, with no web hosting bundled underneath them. There is a caveat, and here it is. Mail already comes free with every hosting plan on our price list, which means the standalone product here is meant for someone whose website sits with a different provider, or for someone who wants an address and nothing else at all.

How many mailboxes, and how much room?

Ten mailboxes is the ceiling, with 10 GB on each, which will hold years of correspondence and attachments, and up to 500 aliases and forwarders alongside them. Push past that and moving onto one of our hosting plans lifts the limits again.

Will it work in Outlook and on a phone?

Yes. Full IMAP, POP and SMTP access runs alongside the webmail interface, which is what keeps Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail, Thunderbird and your phone showing the same thing. We hand over the exact server settings. Should anything stick, support will walk you through the connection instead of leaving you to guess.

Will you move my existing mail for me?

We do, at no cost to you. Once the plan is live, raise a support ticket and give us access to whatever mailboxes you are using today. Our team lifts the messages and the folder structure over together, in most cases without any break in service, and leaves nothing stranded on the old server.

What keeps a mailbox safe?

Anything arriving is screened for spam and malware. Webmail runs behind an SSL certificate that reissues itself, and encryption covers every connection, IMAP, POP and SMTP included. Adverts appear nowhere in the interface. Your correspondence is not read by us, and no detail about you goes to a third party, ever.

Working inboxes on a domain in your name, from $2.99/mo — we move your existing mail across for free, and a 30-day refund window applies.

Launch Email Hosting

A free webmail address at the foot of an invoice costs more in credibility than a real mailbox ever costs in cash. Mail on your own name looks professional because it is. Hosting & Domains runs a single specification for everybody: NVMe storage, LiteSpeed caching, our London datacentre, and no quiet throttling of the cheaper tiers.

Aimed at companies that want mail running on their own name. Pay for hosting and hosting is what turns up — a certificate, the move, nightly backups and engineers you can actually reach.

Email that wears your own domain

Create mailboxes, aliases and forwarders in the panel, then read the mail in webmail or connect Outlook, Apple Mail or a phone over IMAP with the settings written out for you. Spam and virus scanning happen before delivery, and SPF and DKIM sit on the same DNS screen as everything else.

Speed is engineered in rather than bolted on with a plugin: NVMe arrays keep reads immediate, LiteSpeed answers over HTTP/2, and the server caches before your application does anything at all.

Mailbox pricing, spelled out

The oldest move in hosting is a cheap first year and a quiet rise at renewal. Hosting & Domains works the other way about: the number you join at is the number that renews, and anything promotional is flagged on the page before you pay. Every hosting plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee, so trying it risks nothing more than an afternoon.

Mailboxes come with the hosting rather than as a per-seat subscription that swells with every hire. Add addresses as the team grows; the plan price stays the plan price.

Mail landing at an address that carries the domain rather than a free provider

How mail gets delivered and stored

Mail sits on NVMe arrays with nightly backups, delivered through filtered relays in our London datacentre. Authentication records stay in your hands, and our desk goes through them with you whenever a message will not land.

Support runs every hour of the day, staffed by the people who administer these servers, with a first reply aimed at 2 hours and 1 hour when a site is down. No tier hands you to a bot.

  • Every mailbox does IMAP, POP and webmail
  • Panel-level control of SPF and DKIM
  • We own, service and replace the hardware
  • a 99.9% uptime SLA backed by service credits

Good to Know

More that's built in

New hires, no new invoice

Somebody joins and a mailbox appears, built in the panel with no per-seat licence to buy.

99.9% uptime, under SLA

The figure is in the SLA rather than only the marketing, and our monitoring desk answers for it.

A panel that stays out of the way

Everyday tools are two clicks deep at most, and none of them is held back for a bigger tier.

Scale up without relocating

A larger plan is one confirmation away, and you pay only the difference from the day you switch.

Free to leave any time

Standard panels and standard backups make leaving simple whenever you choose. Most customers never do.

Fast from the first byte

Your mailbox runs on NVMe storage with LiteSpeed caching in front, quick before you touch a setting.

Still Curious

Questions that keep coming up

Do existing mailboxes migrate without message loss?

They do. Our migration team mirrors the mail over IMAP with the folder structure intact, then changes the MX records once the copy checks out. Messages sent during the changeover queue and deliver straight afterwards, so nothing disappears, and the whole job is free.

How soon is my mailbox online?

The account provisions itself at checkout, so minutes rather than days. If an existing mailbox needs bringing over, our migration team usually finishes inside 24 hours and times the cutover so nothing goes offline.

Does the renewal price differ from the joining price?

It renews at the price you joined on. Where a first-term promotion applied, its renewal figure was printed beside it before you ordered, so nothing appears later.

What if business email hosting turns out not to suit me?

The plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Say so inside the month and the refund is processed, with no exit interview and no hand-off to a retention team paid to argue.
