Three Reasons to Choose Managed Email Hosting
Business-Critical Reliability
Email is one of the most important communication tools in your business. Unlike traditional shared email hosting, our Managed Email Hosting is designed specifically for business email, with proactive monitoring, preventative maintenance, and rapid response to potential issues before they affect your users.
Our team continuously monitors the platform to ensure your email remains available when your business needs it most.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Cyber threats targeting email continue to evolve, making security more important than ever.
Every Managed Email service includes industry best practices such as DKIM and SPF configuration to improve email authenticity and deliverability, along with advanced account protection including Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Login access can also be restricted by geographic location, allowing access only from approved countries to significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized logins.
Our goal is not simply to host your email—but to actively protect it.
Managed by Email Experts
Unlike traditional shared hosting where the server is simply provided, our engineers actively manage and maintain the email platform on your behalf.
From security updates and system optimisation to continuous health monitoring and preventative maintenance, we ensure your email environment remains stable, secure, and performing at its best.
You can focus on running your business while we take care of your email infrastructure.

Enterprise Email Features
Our Managed Email platform is powered by SmarterMail Enterprise, delivering a comprehensive business email solution with many of the collaboration features traditionally associated with Microsoft Exchange, without the complexity or licensing costs.
Designed for organisations of all sizes, the platform provides reliable, secure email with advanced collaboration, mobile synchronisation, and compliance capabilities.
Email Archiving & Compliance
For businesses operating in regulated industries or those with internal governance requirements, email retention is often a business necessity rather than an option.
SmarterMail Enterprise includes built-in email archiving, allowing organisations to retain copies of inbound and outbound email communications for auditing, compliance, legal discovery, and historical reference.

Benefits include:
- Automatic archiving of inbound and outbound email
- Improved compliance with corporate and regulatory requirements
- Simplified auditing and eDiscovery
- Long-term preservation of business communications

SmarterMail Enterprise supports both Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) and MAPI, allowing users to enjoy many of the collaboration features commonly associated with Microsoft Exchange.
Synchronise your email, calendars, contacts, notes, and tasks across desktop applications and mobile devices, ensuring your information remains up to date wherever you work.
Enterprise collaboration features include:
- Email, calendar and contact synchronisation
- Shared calendars and contacts
- Task and note synchronisation
