Email Hosting FAQs: Answers to Common Questions, Part 2

a) Do I need email hosting ?

email

Email services from providers like Yahoo or Google don’t require separate email hosting. However, for domain name-related email addresses and full control, a hosting provider is required to manage the inbox. For any questions, please contact us online or by phone.

b) What is the difference between web hosting and email hosting ?

Web hosts often offer website and email hosting solutions, with some plans designed specifically for email hosting. These plans are usually cheaper and come with a control panel for managing your inbox.

c) If my domain registration expires, will the email still be valid ?

Email functionality is disrupted when a message is sent to an expired domain, resulting in a bounce notification. To use email, active domain registration and updated DNS records are required.

d) Where are emails stored ?

Emails are stored on a separate mail server from the web server and are only accessible through mail clients.

e) Can I create an alias for my email address?

Smatermail email accounts enable email address aliasing, allowing users to generate a unique email address based on their existing mailbox.
