Website Hosting and Maintenance Services for Small Bussiness Montgomery, AL

Cloud Email Hosting

There are plenty of good reasons to move to cloud-based email, but the main reasons for most small businesses are obvious. Cloud eMail is great for schools, churches, non-profits and businesses that need an eMail solution that has comparable lower costs, improved reliability, easy accessible security features, is scalable based on business growth and has backup and recover measures in place.

Lower costs: Perhaps you think the old server sitting in the corner doesn’t cost you anything, but it will cost you money to maintain and money to replace, with further costs for software updates or client access licenses, not to mention network infrastructure.

Improved reliability: Email servers are, to put it mildly, not always reliable. When they fail, business comes to a screeching halt. Even when they are reliable, they still require a lot of time to manage, patch and secure, and in small businesses with no permanent IT staff, that time is hard to come by. With cloud-based email, most of this burden simply goes away.

Accessibility: Generally speaking, on-premises email servers are designed to work with an email client on a single PC, and getting them to do more takes a certain amount of work. What’s more, as the mail in each mailbox is either stored on the server or passed on to PC clients, it may only be available where and when the server can be accessed, which might not be everywhere or at every time. Cloud-based email services are designed to work across a wide range of devices. Desktops, laptops, tablets and phones will all connect, and you can often use practically anything that will run a browser to view and send mail. And while 100% uptime can’t be guaranteed, the best cloud email services come incredibly close.
