Spam und Viren gestoppt, bevor sie Sie erreichen

Switching mail providers is riskier than switching web hosts, because a mistimed MX record change can bounce mail for hours while the old and new servers argue over who owns your domain's inbox. Free managed migration covers the mailbox contents, folder structure and DNS records together, and MX cutover is timed so incoming mail keeps arriving throughout the switch instead of disappearing into a gap between providers.

Any whitelist and blacklist entries, autoresponders and forwarders you'd already configured on a previous host are rebuilt on the new account rather than left behind, so filtering starts with your existing preferences intact rather than a blank slate you have to reconfigure from memory. Our team confirms mail is flowing correctly on the new setup before your domain's DNS is pointed across for good.

Default filter settings work well out of the box, but a business that regularly emails the same suppliers, sends bulk order confirmations, or relies on a specific SaaS tool's notifications benefits from adjusting the rules rather than accepting them as fixed. Whitelisting trusted senders keeps their mail out of quarantine entirely, while blacklisting a repeat nuisance sender stops it before it's even scored.

The cPanel-style panel gives you that control directly, alongside autoresponders and forwarders that keep working normally alongside the filter rather than being bypassed by it. Quarantine review is self-serve too, so releasing a wrongly-flagged message takes a couple of clicks instead of a support ticket and a wait.

A filtered inbox still needs a safety net for the ordinary mistake of deleting the wrong email or a folder getting corrupted, which is why daily backups cover mailbox content as well as your site's files and databases. That gives you a same-day recovery point rather than relying on whatever's still sitting in a client's trash folder.

When delivery genuinely breaks — a client says your invoices aren't arriving, or a new sending domain needs its authentication checked — 24/7 human support means someone can look at mail logs and DNS records directly rather than asking you to keep resending test messages. The 30-day money-back guarantee gives a new business account enough time to run real send volume through filtering and outbound delivery before deciding it's the right fit.

Mail filtering and MailChannels outbound delivery are bundled into hosting plans starting at $2.42/mo, with managed WordPress from $4.19/mo for CMS sites that also need mailboxes on the same domain — there's no separate spam-filtering add-on to buy. Pricing displays in your local currency through geo-currency detection, while billing is settled in USD by Bohzo Ltd, the UK-registered company behind Hosting Cheap.

Businesses sending high volumes of transactional or marketing email — order confirmations, newsletters, appointment reminders — sometimes want a mail server with a dedicated reputation separate from shared infrastructure. VPS plans from $9.99/mo and dedicated servers from $149.99/mo give that level of control, while still keeping the same filtering and authentication approach in place.
