Just like web hosting, email hosting is a service provided by hosting or email providers to manage custom domain-based email accounts (e.g., you@yourcompany.com).
In most cases, companies rent out space on dedicated email servers to customers and manage the sending, receiving, and storage of emails. This service replaces the need to run your own email infrastructure.
More Than Just Mail Delivery
Professional email hosting offers much more than just basic storage and message delivery. A quality email hosting service often includes:
-
Collaboration tools (shared calendars, contacts, and tasks)
-
Productivity features (integrations with apps like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365)
-
Security enhancements (spam filtering, virus scanning, two-factor authentication)
-
Centralized administration (user management, custom policies, and backups)
These additional features help boost productivity, reliability, and team communication, making email hosting a valuable business solution—not just a technical necessity.
