Shared Email – is it for You?

Shared Email is the most common method for email access, but is it the correct option for you? And what other options are available for your business?
What is Shared Email services? Well, this is an inexpensive way to get your email, through POP, IMAP, SMTP and webmail. The email server that you use is shared with thousands of other clients, and thus is susceptible to many issues. Some of these issues arise because a server with so many email accounts on it is a juicy target for spammers and hackers. Other issues arise when some clients abuse the system, using the majority of the shared resources. Shared Email service is by it’s nature a little unpredictable, and outages and slowdowns are common. Shared Email services are the best solution for most people – but are they for you?
