See our email hosting plans, or read on for what to check before you commit to any provider.

What is Unlimited Email Hosting?
Unlimited email hosting generally means you aren’t restricted by the number of email accounts (mailboxes) you can create on your domain. Each mailbox typically still has a storage allowance, so “unlimited” refers to the number of accounts rather than infinite storage across the board. Unlike basic email hosting services that cap you at a handful of mailboxes, unlimited hosting gives a growing business the flexibility to set up an address for every member of staff without paying per mailbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is unlimited email hosting really unlimited?
The “unlimited” applies to the number of mailboxes you can create, not to storage. Each mailbox has its own storage allowance (up to 10GB with Switchweb), which is generous enough for most users. If you need more space for a specific mailbox, it’s worth checking with your provider whether higher-storage options are available rather than assuming every mailbox can grow indefinitely.
Can I migrate my existing emails to Switchweb?
Absolutely. Switchweb provides a free migration tool that allows you to transfer email accounts quickly and effortlessly from your current hosting provider without data loss or downtime.
What devices and email apps work with Switchweb email hosting?
Switchweb’s email hosting works across all major devices and apps, including Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Android and iOS native mail apps. You can access your emails easily using IMAP, POP or Webmail.
Does Switchweb provide spam protection?
Yes. Switchweb includes built-in enterprise-grade spam and virus filtering, ensuring that unwanted emails are blocked before they reach your inbox.

Can I use Switchweb for email only if my website is hosted elsewhere?
Yes.
