What is Email Hosting?
Email Hosting is a service that lets you set up and manage email addresses using your own domain name, like “info@domain.com”. It gives you a way to send and receive professional emails without needing a generic or provider-branded email address, along with disk storage, security, Webmail access, forwarding, autoresponders, and support.
Generic free accounts can work for personal use, but a custom domain email helps you appear more credible for business. An email address tied to your domain helps customers recognize and remember your brand while building and maintaining trust.
Which Email Hosting Plan is Right for You?
Choosing the right Email Hosting plan is all about understanding your needs, whether it's just a few email addresses for a startup or multiple mailboxes for a growing business. As your business expands, having separate email addresses for different departments and team members can make communication much smoother and more organized.
A strong option for growing teams that need more mailboxes and storage.
NOTE:This plan is currently marked as the most popular option.
What’s Included with Every Email Hosting Plan?
Every Email Hosting plan from Hosted.com® includes all the tools you need to create, manage, and protect your accounts. Each one is there to help you easily manage mailboxes from a single control panel, protect your data, and communicate safely from day one.
Can I Access My Email on Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, or Mobile Devices?
Hosted.com® Email Hosting supports POP3 and IMAP4, which means you can connect your email to supported email clients and devices, including Outlook, Apple Mail, iPad, iPhone, and Android. POP and IMAP help you access your mailbox the way you want. IMAP is commonly used when you want your email to stay synced across multiple devices. POP can be used when messages are downloaded to one device, depending on your setup.
You can also access your email through Webmail from a browser. This is useful when you are away from your usual computer or do not want to install extra software. Need help configuring yours? We have a range of step-by-step tutorials and tips in our Knowledgebase to walk you through the process.
Secure Email Hosting with Spam, Malware, and Virus Protection
Business email needs protection from unwanted and harmful messages. Hosted.com® Email Hosting includes SpamExperts spam, malware, and virus protection to help filter and block suspicious messages before they reach your inbox.
Combined with an Email SSL and secure access, this helps you communicate without worrying about data breaches or theft. It also reduces the risk of inbox clutter from spam, malicious attachments and links, and unwanted messages that may slow down business communications.
Email Hosting vs Web Hosting: What’s the Difference?
Email Hosting lets you create and manage domain-based email accounts, while Web Hosting stores and serves your website files. They are related, but they aren’t the same service. You can use Email Hosting if you’ve registered a domain name, for example, “hello@yourdomain.com”, even before you launch your website. You can also use it if your website is hosted somewhere else, but you still want to use a branded email address.
When you are ready to build or migrate your site, you can sign up for Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting without needing to move your mailboxes. This makes it easier to manage your domains, email accounts, and website under one roof.
Who Is Email Hosting Best For?
Hosted.com® Email Hosting is built for anyone who wants email addresses using their own domain. It works for businesses, teams, individuals, families, and temporary projects that need reliable, secure communication.
SMEs & Startups
Create branded email addresses that make your business look professional and credible from day one. Addresses such as info@, sales@, and support@ are easier for customers to recognize and trust.
Freelancers

Domain Owners
Once you register a domain name, you can use custom email addresses before your website is live and start communicating professionally while your site is still being built.
Individuals
Use a more private, ad-free email option linked to your personal domain name. This gives you more control over your professional email identity and keeps your address consistent over time.
Families
Create domain-based family email accounts for more organized communication and privacy. Each family member can have a dedicated address under the same domain.
Ad-Hoc Needs
Set up unique email addresses for events, marketing campaigns, product launches, or temporary projects quickly and affordably.
