Email Hosting Options
Shared Email Hosting
A shared hosting service where many websites/domains reside on one server connected to the Internet. This is generally the most economical option for hosting.
However it can be insufficient for Web sites with high traffic, specific requirements or mission critical needs. These sites are best served via a dedicated Web server; physical or cloud based.
A website & email accounts are placed on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Typically, all domains may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU and each account has its own limits to avoid any issues with other accounts on the same server. The features available with this type of service can be quite basic.
Almost all applications intended to be on a standard web server work fine with a shared web hosting service. But on the other hand, shared hosting is cheaper than other types of hosting such as dedicated server hosting.
Shared hosting serves pages for multiple Web sites, each having its own domain name, from a single Web server. Although shared hosting is a less expensive way for businesses to create a Web presence, it is usually not sufficient for Web sites with high traffic, specific requirements or mission critical needs. These sites are best served via need a dedicated Web server; physical or cloud based.
Cloud / Dedicated Email Hosting
Is a new type of hosting platform for websites and email mailboxes that allows customers powerful, scalable and reliable hosting based on clustered load-balanced servers and utility billing. A cloud hosted website may be more reliable than alternatives since other computers in the cloud can compensate when a single piece of hardware goes down.
