Domain hosting for email

[yorkiepudd 10]

Ok Some advice please folks

 

I currently have a .co.uk domain which i only use for email accounts (not interested in having any website content). I have less than 10 email accounts active with this domain, using POP/IMAP for mail access.

 

I currently use Krystal hosting but at £36 a year it seems to be getting expensive!

 

Is this expensive for what I want? Any recommendations for something cheaper?

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks - I will go through that. I am getting a little frustrated as some only offer 1 mailbox as standard and I need more, but only low storage. No one seems to cater for the older, less experienced, lighter user (probably not cost effective I assume)

I'm paying about that for hosting (domain names on top) but I get unlimited everything (domains, emails, traffic, data etc.)

 

If you're just using email address then maybe buddy up with someone. I've got about 3 active websites and upwards of 75 email addresses over about 10 different domains. Most of my family / friends just pay for their own domain through paypal and buy me a beer.

Just remember cheap doesn't always mean good service. I think I'm with Krystal when it was previously Ariotek and Fuzioned, but the service and uptime has always been outstanding.

Absolutely agree about that although there has been outages (it went down for an hour yesterday while I was sorting the domain out) but as this is only for personal email, nothing else, the odd bit of downtime is not a major concern.

 

However I have sorted this now, with my son helping.

 

Apparently, Krystal will keep my domain without hosting, just the registration fee every 3 years, and I am now using an email service with 5GB storage and unlimited mailboxes for £3.67 a year

 

Thanks for everyone's advice - really appreciate it.

Are Krystal any good, thinking of moving host. Current hosting co I use are in the US, and I pay around £140 a year, that's only for 2 domains. Expensive I know, but just avoiding the upheaval of moving.

I have my own domain and my email is hosted via Google Apps for Business.

 

I pay NOTHING and will do so until Google collapses or until I die, whichever comes first.

Hi Yorkiepudd, who did you end up going with?
