Factors You May Wish To Think About When Deciding On Email Accounts You Require

By Lara Church


One of the things you need to consider when you are organising new managed hosting servers is how many email accounts you need through your managed hosting service. Various aspects may impact your decision regarding how many email accounts you choose to have.

You need to consider how many people will be using email on your uk managed hosting account. There needs to be a sufficient number of email accounts on the managed server to accommodate these people. Perhaps each individual user will need their own email account on the managed server or alternately you may have a few users sharing a single email account and these variables will influence the number of accounts that get set up.

For the majority of hosting plans you can have as many email accounts on managed servers as you want. You can access email on your managed hosting server through a mail client such as Microsoft Outlook or through webmail providers. Different operating systems have different mail clients so if you have a favourite mail client, bear this in mind when choosing an operating system for your managed hosting service. Managed servers should be able to support any webmail provider, irrespective of the operating system that is on the servers. You can choose from a variety of webmail providers who will not charge you for setting up email accounts with them.

It is important to remember that the emails you send and receive are counted as part of your managed hosting disk space quota. You can save the disk space you have on the managed server by using a webmail account, as such accounts are allocated their own large amount of disk space. With webmail you can check your account from any computer that has an internet connection and a browser, which you couldn't do with a mail client. The downside of webmail is that you do not have your emails so to speak but instead only access to them and this access is completely controlled by the webmail provider.

In general you are unable to access and compose or edit emails offline if you use a webmail provider. Some people also worry how secure their personal information on their webmail account may be and who may be receiving it without their knowledge.

In conclusion there are some primary things to consider when it comes to deciding how many email accounts you need with your managed hosting service. Determine how many users on the managed server will require individual accounts, how many may be sharing accounts and how many need multiple accounts for one person. If you're using a mail client on managed servers, the emails on the mail client will take up some of the allocated disk space of the servers. In order to conserve disk space you can utilise webmail instead which has disk space allocated to it by the provider and which can be easily accessed from any computer that is connected to the internet. The drawbacks of webmail however include controlled access by the provider and the necessity of being online to access, edit and compose emails.

By having a managed hosting server with a mail client on the other hand, you are able to compose emails and access your stored emails without having to be online and there is the benefit of knowing you have control over your emails.
