Using Webmail Through Your Web Hosting Company

As a business owner, your work is never really finished. Forget 9-to-5 schedules or workdays spent at a desk – your schedule is always changing. And of all the tasks you accomplish each day, one is a constant -- checking your email. In fact, email’s ability to keep you connected to your customers and your staff makes it an indispensible component of your online business plan. However, it’s not realistic for you to check your email from the same computer throughout the day.

Your web hosting company should understand your unique needs for email access and provide you with webmail as part of your hosting package. If you’re wondering how webmail could help you manage your online business, keep in mind that:

It’s simple
Your web hosting company will maintain the webmail software that provides a user-friendly "interface" and enables you to perform common functions like reading, writing and sending email messages. If you’re familiar with widely-used email services like Gmail, then you already know the basics of using webmail through your web host.

It’s convenient
Webmail is stored on your hosting company’s server and made available online from any computer that is connected to the Internet. You won’t have to install or configure any software on your personal computer, which frees you to access webmail from just about anywhere your day takes you.

It’s easy to access
Ask your hosting provider to make your webmail access easy by providing you with a unique URL, which will typically be ‘www.yourdomainname.com/webmail.’ Once you have this URL, you can type it into your browser and follow the log-in instructions to begin using webmail through your web hosting company.

As part of a customized web site hosting package, webmail access can help you make your online business experience as seamless – and successful – as possible. Read more on web hosting.
