Web hosting answers
Emails
Do I get to keep my old emails once I switch to you?
Emails that are ie: sales@YourDomainName.com are connected to your domain name not your hosting service provider. So when you switch provider they will stay intact. Plus, with us you will be able to open more than 150 email accounts under your domain for your employees, friends and family! Emails that are: ie. sales@hostingProviderDomain.com are the only ones that are connected to your hosting provider and you can't keep those, unless you make an arrangement with your provider. Emails that are ie. sales@yahoo.com or other free email provider are not related to your hosting, therefore will stay the same once you switch providers.
Do you have webmail? Will I be able to check my emails when I am away from my home/office computer?
Yes, all our accounts have a webmail option. What this means is that you can log on to the internet (to the address we will give you once you sign up - www.yourdomain.com/webmail/ ) and check your mail from any computer that has internet access. You can even check them from your cell phone if you have web capable cell phone. This feature is very handy if you travel alot, work from different computers as your emails don't need to stay tied to the email client on your PC.
What is the size of the email boxes?
You set your own email box size limit as long as the total size of your email box (incl. all other site services) doesn't exceed the total space limits of your plan.
Do you provide secure email access?
Secure email access is only enabled by default on business hosting plan and ecommerce hosting package. If you're choosing a different plan you can secure your email access by simply installing an SSL Certificate on your account. The cost of SSL Certificate is . We will handle the entire installation of the certificate so you won't have to do a thing! To order an SSL just tick 'SSL' add-on service in your order form.

I'm transferring from another host and I'm not sure how to move my emails across?
