Cloud Hosting and Email Hosting

More and more webmasters choose to switch to cloud hosting due to the fact that this type of web hosting plan offers more benefits compared to conventional shared hosting. However, the architecture used by cloud hosting plans from top hosting uk companies is not really designed for email hosting. That is why you will also get a dedicated mail server as a bonus if you purchase a good cloud hosting plan.

Since email is hosted on a separate dedicated server, you can maintain your online business’s smooth operations easily. Even when the site is down for maintenance – which doesn’t normally happen if you are using cloud hosting – you can still send and receive emails conveniently.

You will get averagely 1GB of storage space for every email address or user. The storage space is large enough even for large attachments and thousands of email messages. POP and IMAP can be used to retrieve email messages to popular mail clients.

If there are some attachments you want to store permanently, you can easily send the file to your site’s cloud server. The file will then be stored properly inside the cloud and can be accessed anytime you want using FTP or web-based file manager.
