All our packages let you access your e-mail in any way you choose - from your PC, mobile device or via a powerful Webmail interface which gives you the choice of 3 leading programs to suit simple needs to power users.

Our Shared Hosting lets you use upto 100 e-mail accounts in the format address@yourdomain.com. These can all be setup through our online control panel - cPanel. You can also setup forwarders, which allow you to redirect all emails from one email address to another.

Webmail

We offer three webmail programs which you can access online at www.yourdomain.co.uk/webmail. You can access your emails from anywhere - all you need is your password! Take a look at the three programs below:

Squirrelmail - Lightweight and professional.
Horde - Powerful and Feature-packed.
Roundcube - Aesthetic and Smart

To demo all of these, please login here with the email demo@demo.com and the password demo (please note that sending/recieving emails will not work).

Edit MX Entry

MX records are DNS settings which point your email services to a certain location.

There is no need to use us for your emails - you can easily customise your MX record from within cPanel to point elsewhere. This could be to an exchange server, another hosting company, or even Google Apps

MX records are in the following format:


Autoresponders

Sometimes you may be away from the office, or you may have particular emails that require instant responses. We let you setup unlimited autoresponders for all of your email accounts.

Mailing Lists

Do you have a number of clients you want to email out to in one mailshot? You can now do this automatically using our mailing lists!
