One of the major advantage that a paid Email Hosting can give you is a thorough security. As they are charging you some amount for their services, you will be sure that part of that amount will be allotted in enhancing your email’s security.

Next advantage of Paid Email Hosting is it provides the bigger allotment of disk space for mails so that you can be sure to never miss any important mail.

Paid Email Hosting services also keeps you away from all the unnecessary advertisements that keep on popping up when you work in your email accounts.

Free email accounts do not provide the same professionalism, security, and control as paid email.

paid email hosting is always beneficial to your business.

Definitely, PAID Email Hosting is better than FREE Email Hosting!!!

The Unwanted Advertisement for PAID Email Hosting just reduces spam. Also, it saves the time what we could have wasted on looking at the ads on email pages.

Users have privilege for Allocating the Space to Each Email Account with most of the Paid Email hosting providers.

Right and with paid email hosting you also enjoy facilities such as online support and log report for any mail delivery failures , custom filters and most important the backups.

When you have an paid email hosting service, you will find that your service provider offers a numerous things that the free providers won't allow. For example, if you want to change email providers for some reason, you will usually be allowed to retrieve any stored data and transfer it to your new email hosting service provider when you use a paid email service biggest disadvantage of free email hosting is customer service is almost non-existent .So if want Email account for serious business then go for paid email hosting.

Why to go with FREE email hosting for your business website when you would be earning your daily bread from your business email account.
Reliability is more important then saving few bucks for any online business !
No way for FREE Hosting

I have read a lot about the Free hosting stuff and really want to tell you that there is nothing that can be advantageous for you from this kind of hosting, instead you can harm your business, as far the email hosting is concerned,

Email hosting is opted by the online business organization,that means that It is important that they should get good services in order to fulfill your business needs. Free Hosting is no where near to Fulfill you needs. Paid Email hosting is Best choice for you all looking for the Email Hosting

I am bit confusd.

But as i understand you are referring to email hosting being better than free web hosting services. Well, i definitely agree to it.

FYI, email hosting services should be kept away from spammers and as far as i know hosting company like eUKhost keep monitoring their network and throw-off the bad one's.

For business purposes, email accounts on your own domain name do matter a lot. You can create multiple email accounts on your own domain name like name@yourdomain.com with even a basic hosting package. For email accounts other than business, a free email service like gmail or yahoo should be fine.

Paid email hosting services have strong mail filters as compared to free email hosting services, which results in less or no spam mails. So why not pay a few extra bux and have a paid hosting service

One of the best advantages of Paid email hosting is the fact that it is possible for you to increase the size of the disk space to store emails. Hence, you can keep some copies of important emails without worrying about the space of the email account. Also, if you consider Paid email hosting, you will get several benefits with it which includes mail forward, Autoresponders, Capability to block emails etc.

I am going with the general consensus and agree that paid hosting (web and email) has more advantages than free hosting.

Greater control and security and as has been mentioned - especially for businesses - looks more professional

And although it applies to both it most definitely applies a little bit more to web hosting as free services are normally very undermined performance wise or littered with adverts for the latest "enhancement drugs"

Yes, you can consider free email hosting for personal communication.

Paid Email hosting is the best choice for business use, it gives security and not to worry about any Viruses, the other benefit can be a disk space for mails, so that you can be sure that you will never miss any important mail.

**Adrian** · #17 (**permalink**) 16-01-2010, 02:16

Certainly. If emails are required for personal use only and there is no need for hosting plan as well, it is better to go for Free email option rather than the paid one.

Majority of the hosting companies have certain restrictions on their servers as far as outgoing emails are concerned. This is only done to avoid spamming and misuse of the email service.

At eUKhost, we have set limits on the number of outgoing emails per hour which varies depending upon the hosting plan a client chooses.

**Adrian** · #20 (**permalink**) 19-01-2010, 01:13

It is important that every hosting company has these restrictions as if spamming is carried out using any of the domains hosted on the network, this may create problems for other websites and servers hosted on the same network
