Secure business email for your organization

Frequently asked questions Expand all

• What is email hosting?

  Email hosting is a service that allows you to send and receive emails using your own domain name. Aside from customization and increased storage space, this email service allows you to brand yourself professionally while offering a high level of security and data privacy.

  If you’re looking for a more secure, reliable, and customizable email solution, then email hosting is a great option.

• What are the advantages of using an email hosting service over running personal email servers?

  Managing your own email servers can be daunting, especially when it comes to securing them from spam and DDoS attacks. This is where email hosting comes in.

  By setting up your domain with an email provider, you can offload these complex tasks to a team of experts who specialize in email security. This frees up your time so you can focus on running your business, rather than worrying about your email servers.

• What is a business email?

  Business email is an email address that uses a custom domain-based address (for example, your business email can be you@yourdomain.com). It’s used explicitly for business and professional communications and adds more credibility to your brand. With a business email, you get professional branding, easy scalability, and increased security.

• How is business email different from personal email?

  Personal email works for one-to-one exchanges with friends and family. It can also be used for signing up for personal services and personal social media accounts.

  Business email is best for managing business communications and professional contacts. Business email generally comes with email and group aliases, higher storage, and business-specific features and integrations, including migration support and control panel.

• How do you create a business email address in Zoho?

  If you already own a domain, you can set up your domain with Zoho to create a business email address for your professional communications.

  If you don’t have a domain, you can buy a new domain name for your business through Zoho Mail. You can then host your domain with Zoho and create your business email address.
