Email hosting
Mailboxes and aliases on a domain you own, reachable with any IMAP client. Email is switched on per domain, not per mailbox, and every mailbox on that domain draws from one shared pool of storage.
What one domain gets you
| Included per domain | Amount |
|---|---|
| Storage, pooled across every mailbox on the domain | 10 GB |
| Outbound messages per month | 1,000 |
| Mailboxes and aliases | Not metered, see Limits |
| DKIM, SPF and DMARC records | Generated for you |
Storage and outbound messages above those amounts are billed by usage rather than blocked. The current prices are on the Email product page.
Already paying for web hosting?
A domain covered by a web hosting package gets email at no extra charge. The Domain Settings tab shows Included in hosting instead of a price, and there is nothing to activate.
Where it is in the portal
Everything lives under Email in the dashboard, on five tabs:
- Mailboxes lists every address on every domain you own, and is where you create them
- Domain Settings activates email for a domain, and holds the catch-all and the traffic statistics
- Subdomains switches email on for names like
support.example.com - Delegates hands day-to-day mailbox administration to someone who is not a portal customer
- DNS & Setup shows the DNS records and whether each one is in place
Opening a single mailbox from the Mailboxes tab gives you its own page, with Overview, Filters, Vacation, Identities and Login History.
What this is not
It is not a mail client. Read your mail in an IMAP client, not in the customer portal. The portal manages addresses; it does not show messages.
It is not a bulk sender. Sending is rate-limited per mailbox, and mass mailings and newsletters are not permitted under the service terms. See Limits.
