How does email work exactly
Great News - Host Monster are now offering Unlimited Pop/Imap Email Accounts
The email address associated with your domain name goes through your website host. The host will store the emails and you need a way to manage them.
Host Monster uses Cpanel and I find it so simple to manage all the email accounts and filter out the dreaded spam.
Web hosting companies will sometimes offer a choice between POP3 and IMAP email accounts.
The main difference between the two is that a POP3 email account removes email from the server after it has been downloaded by your email client, whereas an IMAP email account keeps the email stored on the web server.
Most website operators will prefer a POP3 email account because it’s faster to read email from your own computer than from online.
The difference between an email acount and an email address.
An email account has a name@somewhere.com and a username and password with which to use that account.
An email address may just be an address that is forwarded to another account.
name2@somewhere.com points to the account name@somewhere.com and all the emails are collected through name@somewhere.com
A web host will often provide a set number of email accounts, Host Monster are now offering Unlimited Pop/Imap Email Accounts.
Also with Host Monster you can attach unlimited domain names so the possibilities are endless.
