Cloud email solution

[francdore]

Hi,

Let's say I'm running a small hosting company. My basic package offers 5 email accounts and they have 750MB disk space for files, database and emails.

How can I offer my clients a separate product like Microsoft Exchange/Cloud Email so that all emails routes through to an Exchange service or cloud service?

So basically when they sign up for this extra product, I just change their MX records so that all email goes to the cloud/exchange server.

Basically I would like my clients to be able to host their email in the cloud so that if their computer somehow gets stolen, they can just connect to the cloud again and no emails went missing.

Is there such a solution?

Thank you in advance....

There is only one solution that is cost effective with a 50GB Mailbox from R45/mailbox/month is Microsoft Office365 and webmail only access in the R20's.

If your clients are looking for a free solution they could use Zoho Mail free tier

Hi. Where can I sign up for this solution? I just had a chat with Rackspace and they charge £6.75/mailbox/month for Hosted Exchange.

Thanks!

Wow. I just created a test account on Zoho and that is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

I will test it and see how it works.

Do you know if it's reliable? (Because the basic account is free, you have to wonder.)

I did have some problems a while back with imap authentication failing, but a retry would always work. Besides that I've had no issues.

And do you want the client only to see your name when they connect? Or when the check/read mail, should it look like mail.yourdomain.com ?

Hi.

I won't mind if it says exchange.outlook.com or something like that.

But I can always setup cnames on my domain that points to those nameservers.

If you don't want to go the exchange route you can opt to increase the size of your allocated disk space on your hosting package and use IMAP to store emails on the server instead of POP while still having a online backup of emails.
