Web Host Mail Services
 This
service was designed for web hosting companies who are
starting out and want to offer high-quality email services
and features to their customers as an incentive to sign
up for their service. As soon as your ISP reaches a
certain size, you can move over to one of our dedicated
Mail Servers, where you can have many more mailboxes
(1,000's) for a flat monthly cost (i.e., no charge for
additional mailboxes or additional domains).
Enhanced Features
All Able Mail Services email accounts come with the
following features:
| Webmail |
With Webmail, you can access your
email from any computer that has Internet access.
You simply open a web browser (like Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator) and you can get your email
from home or the office or on the road. Excellent
new features have been built into your webmail that
lets you have an address book online, an online
calendar, a to-do-list online, and even to keep
notes and other files online. (More

| Anti-Virus Filtering |
We use state-of-the-art software
to review all email that comes or goes through your
accounts. It currently contains over 100,000 virus
definitions and is updated every 3 hours. (More

| Anti-SPAM Filtering |
We use state-of-the-art software
to filter out the SPAM and other junkmail you receive.
Even if the spammers have you on their lists, this
will help to reduce the problem. (More
info.) |
| POP Mail |
You also have full access to the
normal POP3 email used by most people. You will
be able to access it through all of the popular
email programs, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook
Express, and Netscape. |
| Alias and Forwarding Accounts |
You can create aliases and forwarding
accounts to help manage your email routing requirements.
You can even create an alias like allstaff@yourcompany.com
and add mailboxes to it; then when you sent email
to that address, a copy goes into each of the mailboxes
in the alias list. You can even forward email to
other addresses that are located somewhere else,
like AOL. |
| Auto Responders |
You can create messages that are
automatically sent whenever email is received in
a designated mailbox. This is a nice way of acknowledging
the sender and letting them know you will be with
them soon. You can even create vacation messages
that are automatically sent to tell people you are
on vacation and when you will be back. |
| Large Storage |
Mailboxes are set to hold up to 100
MB of storage, which allows you to receive email
with large file attachments. |
| Large Attachments |
You can send attachments up to 100
MB in size. This is a major increase over what is
typically allowed by ISPs and web hosting companies. |
| Customer Control Panel |
You have full access to a control
panel where you can add/delete/modify mailboxes,
aliases and forwarding accounts. |
| Easy Expansions |
As your needs grow, we can easily
add to the number of mailboxes and domains that
you have. And when your needs grow to the point
where you need your own mail server, we can easily
move you over to a dedicated Mail Server where you
can have thousands of mailboxes and domain names. |
Why You Need these Mail Services
As a web hosting company, you know you must be able
to differentiate yourself from the rest of the web hosting
companies. You must be able to offer both better services
and high reliability. One great way to do this is by
offering email services that put you far above any of
your competitors. A Mail Services account will help
you in the following ways:
- Value Added Service: Webmail. Your subscribers
will be able to access their from anywhere they have
an Internet connection with Webmail. This is ideal
for people who want to access their email from office
and home. They can even upload their Outlook Address
Book and Calendars into the Webmail program so they
can access this information at more convenient times.
- Value Added Service: Anti-Virus Filtering.
The kind of damage caused by any one of the thousands
of viruses that are active on the Internet can cost
both you and your customers real dollars. By protecting
your customers, you will cut down on your tech support
problems. You will also find more customers who want
to sign up with you so they can receive this value-added
service.
- Value Added Service: SPAM Filtering. Every
time someone gets SPAM, it reflects on you. We know
there is little you can do about it. However, by getting
your customers set up with our service, you will find
the best in SPAM filtering options are available and
fighting to keep their mailboxes clean. Your customers
will thank you for this great service.
- Customer Administered. Let your customers
manage their own mailboxes for their domains. You
get to define everything from the number of mailboxes,
the size of the mailboxes, etc. They get to manage
their own mailboxes and aliases.
- Revenue Option. The mail services being offered
have a significant value over what people can find
with their ISP or other hosting companies. Many people
are willing to pay extra for these services. If you
offer mail services now, you may wish to offer these
as Premium Mail, and charge an extra fee for them.
This will help you to close additional accounts who
want the service and give you a way of up-selling
to your existing customers.
- Save Dollars. The cost of setting up your
own mail server can be considerable. By outsourcing
this service, you get features and services and reliability
that you could not match on your own. And as a bonus,
you save a lot of money that you might have spent
on hardware, software, IT time, as well as ongoing
administrative costs. (More

Temporary Solution?
Yes, this probably is a temporary solution. Especially
since you plan to have hundreds or thousands of mailboxes
for your customers as your web hosting business grows.
The great thing about this temporary solution is that
it lets you offer a great service for a fraction of
the cost of doing it yourself. This savings in dollars
and time lets you concentrate on building your business
and finding new customers instead of fiddling with with
your mail server to try to get it to support these higher
quality mail functions.
Growing to the Next Level
As your web hosting customers grow in numbers, you
will find we can easily upgrade you to larger and more
robust solutions. Depending on how many mailboxes you
need and the features you require, it will be cost-effective
to move you to your own dedicated mail server when you
have 100 or more mailboxes. If you are thinking about
buying and building your own mail server with these
same features, you will find that you will save money
by outsourcing this to us with as few as 50 mailboxes.
