There’re lots of web-based email service providers that you can use, but using an email account with your very own personal domain will grant you more credibility if you have a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are restrictions on the maximum size of the attachments that you can send or receive. If you use an email service that offers support for the POP3 and IMAP protocols, you will not run into such problems and you will be able to use any software program on your computer to check your mails, including Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can even set up a mailbox on your smartphone. The difference between the two protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed at your end, but remains on the mail server, whereas with POP3, the message is downloaded to your personal computer, unless you configure the program in such a way as to keep a copy on the server.

Each and every shared web hosting package that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain name hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup procedure, you can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 email protocols, as we support both, so you can decide which one to use according to your preference and the purpose of the email account – you may want to download all email messages in case you’ve got a personal account and to store the messages on the mail server – if you’ve got a business account, for instance. The Email Manager, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, allows you to download and run a small file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email program – Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook. You can even use your phone to view your emails and we have added a detailed tutorial on how to do this on an iPhone or an Android phone.
