What is Email Hosting?¶
Email Hosting is a Blue Nebula Hosting product that gives you professional email on your own domain — without needing a website or a shared-hosting plan. It's for when all you want is a trusted, business-grade mailbox like you@yourbusiness.com.
The short version¶
- You get a real email address on your own domain (
you@yourbusiness.com). - You get webmail — read and send email in any browser, no app needed.
- You can connect your phone and computer (Outlook, Apple Mail, and more).
- No website, no shared hosting is required — this is email on its own.
Email Hosting vs. email that comes with shared hosting¶
If you host a website with us, your hosting plan usually includes email mailboxes. That email is managed in your control panel, alongside your website.
Email Hosting is a separate, standalone product for customers who only need email. It's managed through its own webmail, not the control panel, and it runs on a dedicated mail service.
Here's how to decide:
| You need | Use |
|---|---|
| Website and email | Shared hosting — see the Email section |
| Email only, no website | Email Hosting |
What you get with Email Hosting¶
- A mailbox on your domain
- Webmail (browser-based email)
- IMAP / POP3 and SMTP to sync with devices
- Spam filtering to keep junk out
- A calendar and address book (so you can keep contacts and schedules with your email)
- Two-factor authentication to lock your account down
Do I need Email Hosting?¶
Great fit if you:
- Want a professional address (
you@yourbusiness.com) but your site is hosted elsewhere, or you don't have a site. - Run a business on social media or an online store and want a trusted email for customers and suppliers.
- Prefer your email separate from your website hosting.
