Get free, business-class 10GB mailboxes with all K & K Hosting plans. We aren’t a hosting provider that advertises low prices, but makes up for the shortfall with expensive ‘add-ons’.
Whether you go with Shared Web Hosting, Managed WordPress Hosting, premium Managed Cloud Hosting or Buisness class email is part of the package. All email is stored away from your hosting on optimized servers for additional security and performance.
If you’re looking for secure and ad-free email that won’t let you down, we’ve got you covered. Our email works with all mail clients, including those from Microsoft, Google, Apple and Mozilla.
Our email includes webmail, so you can view your messages anywhere, at any time. It uses IMAP, so you can synchronize your mailboxes across desktop, tablet and mobile.
We understand how important email is to business, so all our email is hosted away from our web hosting on rock-solid servers in our US and UK data centers. All email is encrypted in transit using TLS for security and privacy.
First impressions matter. Whether your online business is a major concern or a home-based sideline, it’s important to look professional. So, you should have an email address that matches the domain of your website. It helps to make you appear established and credible.
You can set up email forwarding and autoresponders, so that you can reply when you’re not around. Everything can be managed quickly and easily from our modern control panel.
Like our secure web hosting, our email uses the latest techniques to protect you and your recipient.
All emails and forwarders sent and received are subject to advanced antivirus and anti-spam protection.
We use 3 layers of inbound spam and virus scanning:
Commercial anti-spam blacklists from Spamhaus, Invaluement and Barracuda Networks are used to reject mail from known spam networks.
Any known malware signatures are rejected.
Messages are scanned for spam-like characteristics and filtered into the ‘junk mail’ folder.
These filters are controlled easily via the webmail control panel. So certain senders, domains and TLDs can be allow-listed to bypass the content filter entirely. The same goes with deny lists: you can create your own from our control panel.
If you’re using the email accounts included with our shared hosting, you don’t want people to harm your reputation (and ours) by sending out masses of ‘spam’ email.
So we monitor outgoing emails to ensure this doesn’t happen and operate a zero-tolerance spam policy.
Being certain that an email will arrive at its destination is essential, especially in business. So we work hard to keep our excellent reputation with email service providers - like Microsoft, Google, AOL and BT.
We also improve deliverability using the Domain Name System (DNS). They work to protect you and your email contacts against spam, impersonation, phishing and spoofing.
SPF Is the Sender Policy Framework helps to prevent spammers sending messages that appear to come from your domain. We maintain an SPF record in the DNS that’s kept up to date with all IP addresses used to transmit email from our network.
DKIM Is the DomainKeys Identified Mail system will apply a digital signature to outgoing email. The recipient’s spam filter can check that the email is authentic by querying the domain in the DNS, and verifying that digital signature.
Each free email account has 10 GB storage. That’s more than enough for most use cases. For example, it would be enough for more than 133,000 average-sized (75 kb) emails!
However, if you’re regularly receiving very large files - that you never download and delete - you may want to increase the size of your mailbox. You can do this in 10 GB increments, to any size, for $19.99/year for each extra 10 GB storage.
Our email services are stored on separate servers to our web hosting. So you won’t ever be affected by slow-down from a website server being busy.
For those with set limits on their storage and compute – like on our Managed Hosting – the amount of email you have stored won’t impinge on your allowances.
Setting-up email may have been quite technical in the past, but now it’s largely painless. K & K email migration tool makes it simple.
Even so, we have a friendly support team on hand 24/7 to answer your questions and an extensive database of FAQs.
Our business class email has a great spam-free reputation and we want to keep it that way.
It is not intended for mass commercial emails to hundreds of thousands of recipients. We’d recommend that you use a commercial email provider for that.
A limit of 500 messages per day is imposed on all e-mail sent by our web servers. E-mails sent by the web servers should be no larger than 5 MB in size. This applies to all messages sent via the PHP mail() function.
Not at all. Your email is kept separate from your web hosting. If your email is busy, it won’t affect your website, and if your website is busy, it won’t affect your email. See the diagram above.
This applies even if you’re using Managed Hosting on K & K Cloud, Amazon Web Services or the Google Cloud Platform - where you have limits on web hosting resources. Those dedicated resources will used exclusively by your web hosting, not your business class email service.
