Email Services Comparison

Cost, Features and Support

by Matt Hicks

There are many companies that provide email services.

There are companies who are specialized in providing email services and they charge anywhere from $2.00 to $15.00 per email address per month. There are also companies who provide unlimited email for very low cost, but those services are often unreliable with very little support if there are any problems.

With all of the recent email issues such as spam and viruses, it would make sense to sign up with a company whose main focus is email service.

The companies below specialize in email services, you may want to contact them and pick the company with the best support and the most features that you care about for the money (such as iPhone synchronization, etc..)
