Email Hosting
Professional email with your domain — IMAP/POP3/SMTP, webmail, spam protection, and calendar.
What is Email Hosting?
Email Hosting provides professional email accounts using your own domain name (you@yourbusiness.com) instead of a generic Gmail or Yahoo address. Every plan includes IMAP/POP3/SMTP access, webmail, spam and virus protection, calendar, and contacts sync.
Our email infrastructure runs on a clustered mail platform with redundant mail servers, spam scanning (SpamAssassin + Rspamd), virus scanning (ClamAV), and outbound rate limiting to ensure deliverability. Every email is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.
Choose between standard email hosting (included free with shared hosting plans) or premium business email with 30 GB+ storage per mailbox, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration, and advanced features like shared calendars, distribution lists, and email archiving.

Use Cases & Examples
Real-world scenarios where Email Hosting delivers value.
Small Business Email
Set up professional email for your team — info@, sales@, support@, and individual mailboxes — all using your domain.
Example: A 5-person business creates 5 mailboxes (john@, jane@, info@, sales@, support@) with 10 GB each, sets up info@ as a distribution list forwarding to all team members, and configures SPF/DKIM/DMARC for deliverability.
Startup Team Email
A growing startup needs email for new hires as they join. Add mailboxes on demand, with shared calendars for team meetings.
Example: A startup starts with 3 mailboxes, grows to 20 over a year. Each new hire gets a mailbox with calendar access, and the team uses a shared calendar for sprint planning.
Newsletter / Marketing Email
Send newsletters and marketing emails from a branded address (newsletter@yourdomain.com) with proper authentication to ensure inbox delivery.
Example: A blog sends a weekly newsletter from newsletter@blog.com. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured, ensuring the newsletter lands in subscribers' inboxes — not spam folders.

Auto-Provision cPanel Hosting
Email hosting is provisioned through the cPanel API. The cpanelIntegration function creates email accounts, configures spam filtering, sets up DKIM/SPF/DMARC records, and provisions mailbox storage. The HostingAccount entity tracks email account allocations and usage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is email hosting included with shared hosting?
Yes. All shared hosting plans include email hosting with unlimited mailboxes. Standalone email hosting is available for domains hosted elsewhere.
Can I use Gmail or Outlook to check my email?
Yes. Configure IMAP in Gmail (Gmailify) or Outlook to read and send email from your custom domain address.
What's the difference between email hosting and Google Workspace / Microsoft 365?
Email hosting provides standard IMAP/SMTP email. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 add productivity suites (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Teams, etc.) — see those services for details.
How do I ensure my email doesn't go to spam?
We automatically configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on your domain. These authentication protocols tell receiving servers your email is legitimate, dramatically improving deliverability.
