Out of all of the business tools in the world, email is easily one of the most common and most often used. But were you aware that some email options are better than others? That’s why we’re going to discuss hosted email options in today’s blog.
A business email should have more to offer than an average private email account.
Here are a few of the typical qualities of a standard private email address:
- Free use
- Limited storage features and space
- Generic Domain, like gmail.com or outlook.com
These are great qualities for a private email, but for a business, these options are not enough. Even just the storage space limitations would cause issues for any business. While a price tag that says “free” is sometimes hard to argue with, the costs that you’re trading might make you want to adjust your email plan.
You might want to own your own Exchange servers, but this might come with a few technological issues like:
- Greater technical skill and experience needed
- Time investment for set up and maintenance may be large
- Increased chance of significant downtime might be true
- Spam filtering will cost extra in finances and time
- For upkeep and updates, all responsibilities are the business’
These issues are costly, especially if they are combined. Thankfully, we have a better option that has the benefits of a local email server but the advantages and ease of a cloud email.
