Email Hosting

Simon D · 24 Aug 2010 at 19:41

I am thinking about moving to virgin cable, currently I am with PlusNet which host my Domain name and e-mail for me.

I am looking for a company that can do UK Email Hosting which is reliable for my Domain, which is cheap up to £15.

Only need to use the Email Hosting side within outlook 2010 (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) and if I could use Webmail access as well that would be great.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Simon

What's wrong with just using Google apps for free to host your mail?

Google Apps for you Domain is free and uses GMail but with your own domain name.

MS do a similar thing with Hotmail but they don't offer IMAP only POP3, which is a deal break for me.

Hosting my Domain and E-mail has been free with my ISP.

How do you use Google apps to host mail?

Most registrars offer a nameserver service, so you have the domain setup to use that.

You go to http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html and signup

You then create the records that Google needs to function (just an MX record for email)

I use Google Apps for my rypt.net domain

I host mine with Tsohost. It's silly cheap, like £12 a year or something. Also has some webspace but I don't use it.

Google apps for sure. The web interface blows everything else out of the water including desktop clients like outlook. Also it supports exchange active sync to push mail to your mobile device.

I gone with Tsohost, very easily to setup.

Thanks for the help
