Email Hosting

Email – the story so far

Without question email is now a critical tool for business. Historically for smaller businesses, email services were provided by whichever Internet service provider (ISP) the company were using, this meant changing ISP required a change to the company email address. Companies with their own domain name (the bit after the @ sign, e.g. hjsessentia.co.uk) saved themselves this pain but required their own email server to cater for all their users. Losing your established company email address will directly affect ongoing trading when it comes to legacy customers trying to contact you. Equally paying for and maintaining your own email server is a cost liability and a direct responsibility of your company.

Fully mobile and device independent email

Email hosting provides you with business quality email (Microsoft Exchange mailboxes that provide the technical backbone for Microsoft Outlook) but without any responsibility for running the hardware required to provide it. You keep your company email addresses and can add new users to your system with the ease of just making one call to HJS Essentia. Accessing your email also becomes far easier with email hosting. Without the requirement of a complex office-based system supported by a reliable information technology (IT) support resource, email hosting enables you to read your emails from a web browser, your mobile phone, or your desktop or laptop computer - your email is unchained. The advantage of hosted email is that you are using one resource so that wherever you make a change (for instance read, reply, or send an email) the changes are instantly shown on all devices.

More than just an email service

Of course Outlook does not only provide email, what about the calendar, shared calendars, contact details and tasks? All of these functions are handled seamlessly by your hosted email service.

Full protection from spam and virus infection

Do you have spam and antivirus protection on your existing email system? You’ll know that these fundamental services require constant updates (and if you don’t continue subscribing then the protection becomes less and less effective). Our hosted email accounts have maintained antivirus protection and controllable spam filtering as standard.

The right solution for you

If your company’s staff size is more than 10 employees owning an email server will be a more cost effective option. Email hosting or email server? Call HJS Essentia, your essential IT and Communications resource, on 023 8038 6586 for guidance on the right solution for you.
