Convenience: Cloud-base email hosting gives you access to your messages via any connected device. As long as you have internet access and a connected device, you can take care of business.

Cost: An in-house email server might seem like a cost-effective way to get the services you need, but when you take a step back, you’ll realize just how expensive it can be. Not only do you have to account for the cost of the server itself, but you’ll also have to purchase an operating system and email platform, as well as the rack, and pay for the electricity, cooling, and staff to support it.

Up-to-date security: Most large email providers have made cloud computing security their number one priority. With the most modern tools available, a team of security experts and far-reaching protocols in place to protect their clients, you’re likely far more protected with a cloud-based email hosting service than you would be if you had to rely on one of your staffers to keep your email server up to date.

Scalability: When your company begins growing fast, a cloud email service means you won’t have to worry about scaling your data center appropriately. All of the onus will be on your provider. That gives your team more time to focus on maintaining quality during your growth spurt.

Easier disaster recovery: If your email server becomes infected with a virus or dies outright, recovering lost data can be difficult. Sometimes, it’s impossible to recover. An email cloud platform has redundancy built-in. That means you can recover your messages, contacts and any data stored within your email system quickly and easily.
