Other Email/Domain Hosting

I have my personal domain on 1and1 on a legacy package (domain mail plus) for £8.39 pa for hosting and three mailboxes of 2GB.

This is great but I need more space and 1and1 is a lot more now. What's good value? I don't use and webspace, just want a few mailboxes (at least 5) for IMAP access.

 

Office 365 or gsuite for email?

 

I use tsohost.co.uk for 5.99 a month on the cpanel hosting. 10GB storage all of which can be given to mailboxes. Six domains. 25 accounts. Haven't gone down for me ever.

 

I suppose I do have a Office 365 subscription, but that's linked to the hotmail account already.

 

He most likely means the business office 365 subscriptions most likely exchange online plan 1 (cheapest for just hosted email)

 

For the incoming mail do we have to configure our domain? i can send mail but not receive it lol

 

Do you already own the domain or did you just buy a brand new package with them with included domain? You gotta raise a support ticket to get them to register the free one.

 

Already own the domain which is directed to my website

 

I found TSO's email hosting to be a bit flaky... fallen foul of the bad neighbour effect too [where someone else on the server you share is a spambot so GMail/Hotmail's reject everything you send] several times.

Office 365 and Google for Business or whatever it's called this week are solid, but it can get very pricey very quickly.

...just don;t use either for your account login for [personal] windows/xbox or android/google play/youtube accounts respectively, know a few people who did and had no end of grief as a result.

 

If you're a techie bloke, nothing is "safer" than running your own VPS on an hosting company. That is, it's as safe as you make it.
