Australian dedicated email hosting with all the features that matter

Email hosting is a service offered by hosting providers that store, manage and send and receive your email.

Some providers offer free email hosting services. However, businesses should opt for the customisation and robustness of premium email hosting to ensure a secure, reliable, and professional appearance.

It's possible to host your email on your own servers. But managing an email server is challenging due to the system configuration expertise required, including server maintenance, security protocols, data storage, spam filtering, and backup solutions.

Due to the complexities and ongoing maintenance required, self-hosting of email is only recommended for businesses with specialised IT staff and the resources required to manage and secure their email servers effectively.

Dedicated email hosting is a standalone, built for purpose email service which is billed per user, to store and manage your business email.

This dedicated email service comes with many benefits, including enhanced support, privacy, accessibility and data sovereignty.

Yes, you can upgrade your email hosting at any time.

If you want a personalised domain for your email, for example joan.smith@yourdomain, you need to register the domain yourdomain. You can register a domain when you sign up for email hosting.

If you don't require a personalised domain for your email, we offer an option which allows you to manage an email address with our imail.net.au domain, for example joan.smith@imail.net.au.

Hosting your email data locally offers many benefits for Australian businesses, particularly with regards to data sovereignty. By retaining email data within Australia, businesses can adhere to Australian regulations governing data protection and privacy.

Additionally, local Australian email hosting provides superior performance in terms of speed and latency, engenders customer confidence, and serves as a safeguard for business continuity.

IMAP and POP3 are different email protocols used for retrieving emails from email servers. If you're using an email client like Mac Mail or Microsoft Outlook, you can configure the email client with either IMAP or POP3 to receive emails on a computer or mobile device.

POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) downloads emails from your inbox folder on the email server which makes POP3 not always compatible with multiple connecting devices. Once one of your computers or devices retrieves an email from the email server, the email is removed from the mail server, and the other computer will not be able to retrieve the email.

On the other hand, IMAP (Internet message access protocol) synchronises your email folders and allows you to view your email from multiple devices. For example, if you read an email on one device, the email will automatically be marked as read on your other devices.
