Web Based Email Access / Webmail   What is it? Webmail is an email service that allows you to access your email through your browser, when you're away from your home or office PC. You can access your email from any browser or cell phone, as long as they're connected to the internet. It's same as accessing your yahoo or gmail account. Why it's useful? It's a perfect soluton for checking your email when you don't have your computer with you (your Outlook, Feudora).   How it works? Webmail is automatically setup on your account upon activation. To access it simply go to www.yourdomain.com/webmail and login to your email from any computer in the world!

There are thousands of email borne viruses circulating the web daily. Our virus filters stop on average 10 viruses per email user every single day!   Most viruses auto-attach themselves to an email without the sender even knowing he's sending them out. You can accidentally get them from people you trust. Worse yet, you can unknowingly send them to your business associates and clients and infect their computers! Viruses can crash your entire computer system and cause irreparable damage to your business. This is why virus protection is a must have for every business email.   Our virus scanners checks all incoming attachments and stops the virus before it hits your email box.

Mail Gateway Typical server can receive ~500,000 emails per day. Each of those 500,000 emails has to be checked twice (by both spam and virus filter). Server has to run 1milion processes per day JUST to complete email filtering. Spam and virus filters are the key perpetrators for increased server loads, unstable servers and ultimately slow and inaccessible websites.   To solve this issue we've now setup a Mail Gateway. That's a seperate server dedicated to only checking emails for spam and viruses. In other words, the server where your website is hosted is relieved of having to run 1million processed a day. This in result makes your website alot faster and significantly more stable and reliable. All hosted accounts have access to this feature.   Truth about spam filters There's no such thing as the 100% effective spam filter that won't lose valid emails in the process. No matter how the host calls their spam filter "state-of-the-art" or the "newest technology" the truth is, 99 out of 100 spam filters work on the exact same principle. The only difference is how high/low is the spam TOLERANCE level set to. High tolerance = no spam + loss of valid emals. Low tolerance = higher spam + no loss of valid emails. It's about striking the balance between reducing spam and getting valid emails.   Our spam filter By consistently monitoring and readjusting the tolerance level we struck the optimal balance. With our spam filters you will not completely eliminate spam. You will reduce it to the bare minimum needed to insure those valid emails are not filtered out in the process.   'Possible Spam' Feature Another great feature is that the filter will mark all suspicious emails 'POSSIBLE SPAM'. 98% of the time those emails will turn out to be spam. You can setup a "Possible Spam" folder in your emails client so that all the leftover spam is being collected in that seperate folder. Similar to Yahoo, gmail TRASH folder. This way you still get to keep your inbox clean AND make sure all valid emails are all delivered.

Email Forwarding   What is it? Message forwarding is a service that redirects/forwards email sent to your email address to any other email address you specify. For example you can forward all mail sent to mark@yoursite.com to mark@hotmail.com instead. Once you set up message forwarding all messages are automatically forwarded to another email address that you specify. Why is it useful? If you don't receive large number of emails or you just wish to keep all your emails arriving at the same place. How to set it up? Massage forwarding is a breeze to setup. Everything is done from your control panel.. Full instructions are given in our customer' help desk but It's all self explanatory from there anyway!

Email Autoresponders   What is it? It's a very handy email service free with all hosting accounts. It allows you to send pre-set automated email responses to anyone sending a message to a particular email address. Why is it useful? It's great for after-hour replies, when you're away from home/computer and unable to respond immediately. It's a great little convenient tool that will let your customer/friend know that you're not available to respond right now. Scenario: Customer sends a query and eagerly awaits your urgent response. They don't hear back from you in days (because you're away on a holiday unable to respond). Instead of your customer wondering why he hasn't received a response, thinking you don't value his business and making all kinds of conclusions wouldn't it be great if you let him know in advance "I'm away in Tahiti unable to attend to your query but if you need help you can try contacting my assistant Dave on dave@yourdomain.com" - immediate automated reply to his email, How handy!   How do I set it up? Extremely easy. Everything is setup from your control panel.

Catch-All Service   What is it? catch-all is an email feature that'll pick up all emails sent to non-existant email addresses on yourdomain and still deliver them to your inbox.   Why is it usefull? If someone mistypes your email address, thanks to catch-all feature, the email will still be delivered   What's the downside? Spammers can misuse this feature because they don't need to know your correct email address for their spam to be delivered. They can send it to ie. xyzw4343@yourdomain.com and still get the message through. However, your account comes with state-of-the-art spam filtering system so spam emails will get filtered out anyway. Also note: this feature CAN be disabled at any time.   How do I set it up? It's setup on your account by default and can be disabled if needed.
