Email hosting and Web Hosting For Small Businesses

If you have or intend to have a website for your business then you shouldn't forget that it also comes with email services.

Here is a screenshot of 1and1 uk web hosting and email package showing the email part.

The three columns are for different packages, but even the most basic package has 20 email accounts which is enough for most small businesses.

You will find other web hosting accounts offer similar email facilities.

You can see that even the basic package has 20 email addresses (each with 2GByte storage) which is more than enough for most small businesses.

However what if you don't want a website but only email accounts. In this case you have two alternatives:

• Purchase the web hosting package and just use the email accounts
• Purchase an email only hosting.

Email Only Hosting

Generally this is cheaper than website hosting for a small number of mailboxes, and if you purchase the email hosting from a provider that provides both email and web hosting then the features and management interface is the same.

In addition if you decide to get a website at a later date you just add it on and you manage it all from the same control panel.

You should be aware that not all web hosting providers currently provide an email only option, and they do not all provide more advanced business email features like Microsoft Exchange email and collaboration.
