Email Hosting in the Cloud

Should companies be looking for business email hosting in the cloud? Google have launched Google Apps Premier Edition which costs only £33 per user per year. This low cost option makes it a very viable choice for business email hosting.

Think about your current email hosting service and how much it costs you every time you need to upgrade, switch and add users. And when you add in the costs of staff, maintenance, storage of servers, email archiving, mobile email, and finance, it can add up.

There are a number of options for business email hosting. These include in house email where most large and medium sized businesses run everything in house this includes the mail server, mailbox storage, archiving and public folders etc. IBM and Microsoft are the dominant suppliers in this area.

Hosted business email, now coming to be known as cloud email hosting is when someone else runs your business email. It is run in someone else’s data centre. Cloud email hosting has always appealed to smaller business as the hassle of all the management is looked after by someone else, but larger businesses are beginning to realise that outsourcing business email can also benefit them.

Alternative options include a hybrid model where some parts of your business email are in the cloud and some are on site. Mailboxes for example would be kept in-house whilst email filtering and archiving would be managed by a cloud computing company.

Hosting in the cloud can benefit your business by providing a pay-as-you-go model which allows you to keep a hold of budgets. You also benefit from always having the most up to date software. You also do not have the hassle of managing it yourself. It’s really quick to add new users to cloud email. New users can be set up very quickly and removed again should they need to be.
