Advanced Email Hosting

Email
IMAP -vs- POP3

Many companies are still using antiquated POP3 email services even through the IMAP4 standard has been available since 1999 or earlier. IMAP is widely regarded as being superior to POP3 in every respect. Why haven't most email providers made these new services available to you ? Because IMAP requires storage of the clients email folders - providers save money by not providing this service.

Please read some things your missing by not upgrading to an IMAP email system

 
IMP
Webmail

Webmail on an IMAP based email system is full featured, allowing you to read both new and old (archive) messages. Webmail on POP3 systems is limited to reading new mail only.

Whenever you are traveling without access to your normal computer, just login to your webmail page ( typically https://webmail.yourcompany.com ) and have access to all of your new and old email. Please read more about our email hosting solutions including webmail access.

Server Hardware

HP Servers

For server hardware where reliability and a service contract is desired we prefer HP(Compaq) server solutions. For those on a really tight budget why not let us build you a custom server to your requirements for about half the cost.

 

Backup Solutions

Backup Drives and Software

The first advice we often have for clients is to consolidate their important information onto a single server, as it is nearly impossible to reliably backup individual PC's. Servers today all have redundant disks and are much less prone to sudden failure. We have a multitude of backup solutions for your server from tape, to storage array, along with recommendations for the best value in backup software solutions.
