Questions about choosing email
Is your question not here?
Call or write. We will explain it in plain words.
Can I start with hosted email and move to Microsoft 365 later?
Yes. Your address stays the same because it belongs to your domain. When you switch, we move your messages to the new account.
Can some mailboxes be in hosting and others in Microsoft 365?
It is possible, but it needs extra setup and can be harder to maintain. One solution for the whole company is usually better.
What does each option cost?
Email in hosting is included in the plan price, with no charge per mailbox. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are billed per user. All prices are shown net of VAT.
Is hosted email enough for a small company?
Usually yes, if you need a few mailboxes to talk to customers. When your team wants shared calendars, cloud files and online meetings, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace is a better fit.
How much email space does each option give?
In hosting, mailboxes share the plan’s space (from 5 GB to 30 GB). In Microsoft 365 each person has a mailbox of at least 50 GB, and in Google Workspace from 30 GB per person on Business Starter.
Can you help me choose?
Yes. Tell us how many people need email and which programs you work in, and we will suggest an option and set everything up.
Not sure what to choose?
Tell us what you need. We will suggest a domain, hosting and email, and quote a website if you want one.
