Do you have questions about ALC Hosting's services?
We have the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about our customers below.
Just like with web hosting, email hosting is a service provided by a hosting or email company to manage custom domain-based email accounts. Most companies basically rent out space on an email server to customers, then handle email sending and receiving.
Our professional email is, however, more than just a storage space and delivery service. It’s a wide variety of integrations and collaboration features available to boost productivity and team effectiveness.
Email hosting company is usually defined by MX records that point incoming emails to a particular provider — who then processes those messages. In order to find the MX records, it’s necessary to perform an MX lookup. For example, if your email address is yourname@yourdomain.com you need to look up MX records for yourdomain.com.
Free online services such as MXtoolbox will give you a list of MX records that usually offer a provider’s name and corresponding IP addresses records. Sometimes, though, a domain can have a custom domain-based email MX record (e.g. mail.yourdomain.com). If that’s the case, you should also perform a Whois search on one of the IP addresses. That will give you the name of the email provider. Using free online services such as Network Tools is great for this.
Private Email supports TOTP methods of second-factor authentication, which is among the toughest technologies in the world today.
TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) is a standardized method that generates a changing temporary code that is unique each time, and expires as soon as the new one has been generated.
A business email account uses a custom domain name of the company, such as example@businessname.com. This is different from a personal email, where you usually use the service’s domain – like example@gmail.com.
With a business email, your brand will look professional and credible – which is crucial if you’re running a small business online. Customers are generally more suspicious of companies who use personal emails as anyone can easily create one for free.
Using professional email addresses can separate your business from disreputable companies, strengthen your brand authenticity, and inspire trust within your customers.
If you are using a third-party email service hosted elsewhere, and would like to switch to premium Private Email, you can easily migrate your old emails to our servers using the Webmail interface. Important messages from your Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and other folders can all be moved to your ALC Hosting new servers. Whether you are using Outlook, Thunderbird, MacMail, or a web-based email service, we provide helpful instructions to assist with the process.
If you purchase a website hosting plan from ALC Hosting and get a free email account, you can use the service right away.
That said, the resources are more limited. You can upgrade to the Starter or Pro plan to increase them.
