Email Hosting in Durham
Business email that arrives, on your own domain, separate from your website hosting. For Durham businesses this usually means Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace configured properly — with the authentication records, retention and recovery that a mailbox bundled free with web hosting does not provide.
Why this comes up
The problem
Email included with web hosting shares the server's sending reputation with every other site on it. One compromised neighbour and your invoices start landing in spam through no fault of your own.
What you get
What we deliver
- Mailboxes on a dedicated platform, independent of where the website is hosted
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured so mail authenticates and reaches inboxes
- Shared mailboxes and distribution groups set up rather than shared logins
- Retention and litigation hold where your sector requires records kept
- Backup separate from the platform, since providers retain deleted mail only briefly
- Migration from the current provider with mail, calendars and contacts intact

Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what email hosting would actually involve — whether or not you use us.

Email Hosting in Durham — common questions
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
- Microsoft if your business runs on Office documents and Windows, which is most UK small businesses and where the wider licensing benefits also apply. Google if your team already works in its tools and document collaboration matters more than Office compatibility. Both are solid; the wrong one creates daily friction.
- Is the mailbox included with our web hosting not enough?
- It works until deliverability matters. Shared hosting means a shared sending reputation, minimal spam filtering and no meaningful recovery. For a personal side project it is fine; for invoices it is a liability.
- Do we need to back email up separately?
- Yes, and this surprises people. Both major providers keep deleted items for a limited window and are explicit that backup is the customer's responsibility. A mailbox deleted with a leaver, or emptied by ransomware, is not recoverable indefinitely.
- Can you move us without losing mail?
- Yes. Mail, calendars and contacts migrate with a cutover planned so nothing arrives at the old system after the switch. The main risk is DNS timing, which is handled by lowering time-to-live values in advance.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
