Email hosting is a service in which an email service provider hosts an organization’s emails on its behalf hence eliminating the need of having a server. This service is usually a premium service which differs from the typical free webmail sites such as Yahoo and Google. A typical email hosting service handles incoming and outgoing emails by managing them on either a shared separate or dedicated server

Pepea Email Hosting is a solution to common challenges experienced by organizations that depend on free email service providers or are on a shared cloud hosting platform where email and web hosting services are offered as a bundle. They include;

• Security risks; when email and web hosting services are offered as a bundle, this threatens the security of your emails because in the event your website is hacked, hackers can easily access your email as well

• Limited mailbox space; most email service providers tend to cap their users’ mailbox space forcing users to pay extra in order to acquire additional space

• Increased influx of spam/junk emails especially where the organization’s email address is on the internet

• Mailbox compromise due to phishing attacks and other business email compromise exploits

• Blacklisting; this is where your mail server’s IP or domain is blacklisted due to your domain being compromised and used to send spam emails from your network and domain

• Unreliable support; this is especially true for organizations

• Challenges when synchronizing emails on other devices

• Frequent bounce backs and unexplained undelivered emails

• Slow mailbox and email delays

• Negative impact on employee productivity; the amount of time wasted on deleting spam emails and searching for genuine emails can be utilized on more important tasks

• Today, many organization’s servers and/or domain can be compromised and used to send phish and other malicious emails to their end-users
