Email has become the main communication tool of both work and personal life and almost everyone has one or more free email accounts. But there are actually unforeseen costs and disadvantages to this.

If you are just starting a brand new business, sometimes the easiest and most cost-effective choice is to utilize free services. Email has become the main communication tool of both work and personal life and almost everyone has one or more free email accounts.  But there are actually unforeseen costs and disadvantages to this. Here are some of the reasons why strategically stepping it up with email hosting will benefit your business.

Email Hosting Makes Your Business Look More Professional

Appearances are everything in business, and a generic email, hotmail, or yahoo address does not cast the right professional image as everyone has one or more of these. Using one of these types of accounts will make a lot of people wonder if your business is genuine and you run the risk of emails from your business being treated as spam and ignored.  

Email Hosting Cuts Through Spam and Other Security Threats

Many people with free email accounts complain about all of the spam they constantly receive, and with hacking, phishing scams, and a number of security threats on the rise, your business can do without. Going through and deleting mass amounts of spam every day is also an annoying waste of time which no business owner needs. Make sure your important messages are not lost in a sea of spam.  

Email Hosting Comes With Customer Service      

There is no customer service for free email services. If you have a problem with Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo, there is no one you can turn to to fix it. In some cases you may be able to fill out an online form, but you are not guaranteed any kind of response. When it comes to email hosting, your provider will have multiple places where you can contact them to ask for help in case of any issues with their service.
