What is Managed Mail Hosting?

A managed email hosting service is an Internet hosting service that runs email servers.

Managed Email Hosting provides all of the advantages of  the larger enterprises that run their own email hosting service without cost of equipment, maintenance, and IT departments. Every aspect of  your mail system is managed for you including DNS, quotas, security, spam and virus protection, redundancy, and protocols.

Email hosting services usually offer premium email at a cost as opposed to advertising supported free email or free web mail. Managed Email hosting services thus differ from typical end-user email providers such as web mail sites. They cater mostly to demanding email users and Small and Mid Size (SME) businesses, while larger enterprises usually run their own email hosting service. Email hosting providers allow for premium email services along with custom configurations and large number of accounts. In addition, hosting providers manage the user’s domain name, including any email authentication scheme that the domain owner wishes to enforce in order to convey the meaning that using a specific domain name identifies and qualifies email senders.

Most email hosting providers offer advanced premium email solutions hosted on dedicated custom email platforms. The technology and offerings of different email hosting providers can therefore vary with different needs. Email offered by most web hosting companies is usually the more basic standardized POP3 based email and web mail based on open source web mail applications like Horde or Squirrel mail. Almost all web hosting providers offer standard basic email while not all email hosting providers offer web hosting.
