GMAIL Services

Recently Webdes has moved the hosted email services to GMAIL. This Google based service provides an excellent level of service, spam filtering etc for hosted domains for up to 100 users per domain. They allow up to 6GB of mail storage space per user account and the best part of this is that it's absolutely free.

They allow POP and IMAP checking of your accounts, along with SMTP service for sending email, so you can run your email through your favourite email client, not just through their Webmail interface.

We tried for years to provide a good email service, but the issues with SPAM soon meant that we were faced with a real challenge when asked to provide commercial grade email hosting services for customers who didn't want to pay full normal commercial prices.

Being a small, boutique hosting firm, the obvious answer was to turn to a larger partner who specialise in this. The results with GMAIL to date have been fantastic. I've had less than 1% of my inbound spam make it's way through into my inbox.

Another benefit of this service is that you're setup as a mail administrator for your domain, so if you want to add or change the accounts hosted on your domain - you're in control! Talk to us about your requirements and we'll tell you if it's easily achieved. :)

Quick cheat sheet:
- Enable POP in your GMAIL account.
- Setup your client:
POP - Port 995, SSL - pop.gmail.com
SMTP - Port 587, TLS - smtp.gmail.com
