Solved before you arrive
The four problems this solves.
Each one costs time or sales on ordinary hosting. Here each one has an owner, and it is not you.
-
Your IP starts with zero reputation
Through the MailChannels relay, outbound mail rides a sending reputation that is professionally maintained. Deliverability stops being your project.
-
Spam floods the inboxes
An enterprise filtering appliance scores every incoming message before delivery. Junk dies at the door, not in folders.
-
DNS records are a minefield
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are set correctly with our help and documented in our guides: authentication that actually authenticates.
-
Mail data is precious
Mailboxes are covered by daily snapshots, and on servers the optional Dual Backups add-on keeps two offsite copies with weekly checks.

FAQ
Managed mail server hosting, answered.
How much does a managed mail server cost?
Managed VPS, the best fit here, starts at $5/mo on 12 months ($6 month to month). Also a fit: Shared Hosting from $1.97/mo and Cloud Hosting from $14.25/mo. All three are fully managed.
Why not just use Google Workspace?
Per-user SaaS pricing grows with every hire; your own mail server costs the same at 10 or 200 mailboxes. With reputation and filtering handled by the platform, you get ownership without the classic operational pain.
Is port 25 open?
Outbound mail can flow through the MailChannels relay (an optional add-on on servers, from $8/mo), which is what makes deliverability reliable. Specific routing needs are handled with support.
Who fixes it if mail breaks at night?
We do. Mail services are part of the monitored platform: queues, services and the filtering path are watched every minute, and engineers respond around the clock.
Can you migrate my existing mailboxes?
Yes, free: mailboxes, aliases and DNS move over while mail keeps flowing, with the cutover timed so nothing bounces.
