Professional Email Hosting FAQs
What is email hosting in South Africa?
Email hosting is when a provider (like Truehost) gives you space on their servers to create and manage custom email accounts using your domain name (e.g. [email protected]).
You don’t rely on Gmail or Yahoo — you own it, control it, and brand it.
What about free email hosting?
Free email hosting is limited. You don’t get branding. You don’t control spam filters or security. And you’re often stuck with ads or limited storage.
It’s fine for personal use. But for business? It kills your credibility and limits growth.
Why does email hosting matter?
Because email is your first and most frequent business touchpoint.
If you send invoices or proposals from a @gmail.com account, you’re less likely to be taken seriously.
Hosting your email shows you’re legit—and keeps your communications secure, reliable, and professional.
What’s the difference between domain, email hosting, and web hosting?
Domain: Your online name / address (yourbiz.co.za)
Email Hosting: Service that powers email ([email protected])
Web Hosting: Space to upload your website files
Each serves a different purpose. Domains point to your hosting. Email is handled separately — even if you have no website.
Which should I choose: free or paid email hosting?
Paid, always — if you’re running a business. Free email hosting gives you zero branding, little storage, and weak spam control.
Paid email hosting gives you full control, more space, domain-level branding, and professional-grade tools. It’s not expensive, and it makes a big difference.
xplain these terms: ISP, POP3, IMAP, and Cloud
-
ISP: Your internet service provider (like Safaricom or Zuku). They just give you access—not hosting.
-
POP3: Downloads emails to one device and deletes them from the server. Not ideal for modern teams.
-
IMAP: Syncs emails across all your devices. Way better than POP3.
-
Cloud Email: Your email and data are stored online (on secure servers), accessible anytime, anywhere. This is what Truehost offers.
How do I choose the best email hosting provider?
Ask these:
- Is it reliable? – Uptime, deliverability, and support.
- Does it support my domain? – Can I connect
@mycompany.co.za? - Is the pricing reasonable? – Truehost starts at ZAR 8/mo. (Paid Annually)
- Do I get security features? – Look for spam filters, antivirus, 2FA, and encryption.
- Is it scalable? – Can I add more inboxes or storage later?
Truehost ticks all these boxes.
