There are lots of web-based email providers that you can resort to, but using an email address with your very own personal domain name will give you more credibility if you are running a business, for instance, not to mention that with web-based email services there are restrictions on the 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 face such problems and you’ll be able to use any software program on your PC to check your email accounts, including Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can even set up a mailbox on your smartphone. The difference between the two email protocols is that with IMAP, an email message is displayed locally at your end, but remains on the email server, while with POP3, the message is downloaded to your personal computer, unless you set up the program in such a way as to leave a copy on the server.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Cloud Website Hosting

Each and every cloud website hosting plan that we offer will enable you to create mailboxes 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 POP3 and the IMAP email retrieval protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to make use of based on your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may decide to download all emails if you have a personal account and to store the emails on the server – in case you have a business account, for example. The Email Manager, which is part of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel, permits you to download and run a small auto-config file, so as to set up an email account with an email software program – Thunderbird, Outlook or Apple Mail. You can use even your smartphone to view your emails and we’ve got a detailed tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can select between the POP3 and the IMAP email delivery protocols in case you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company. We support both, so you can choose what to do with your emails – to download them onto your home computer or to leave them on the email server and to check them from different devices. The latter option will also allow different individuals to access the exact same email account – in case you’re hosting a corporate web site on our servers, for example. You can find auto-config files in the Email Manager section of our Hepsia Control Panel, which will permit you to automatically set up everything in an email software application of your preference – Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird, so you will not have to fine-tune any settings manually. In case you have a smartphone, you can add any email account just as easily – just check our detailed tutorials for iPhone and Android. To make everything easier, the instructional articles contain step-by-step screen-caps.

POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts in VPS Web Hosting

Our VPS web hosting packages feature a pre-installed email server, so you can host a domain name, then create an email account and set it up in an email app as soon as your Virtual Private Server is completely functional. We support both IMAP and POP3 connections by default, so you will not have to configure anything manually. If your server comes with cPanel or with our Hepsia Control Panel, you will even be able to download auto-configuration files for Thunderbird, Outlook and Apple Mail, which will spare you time and energy when you need to set up an account in any of these apps. You’ll also be able to send as many emails as you wish – the VPSs have their own SMTP server, which takes care of the outbound messages. With our Virtual Private Server packages, you’ll be able to receive and send messages from any location and any device. You can create an email account even on your smartphone.
