1and1 Webmail: How to Login & Set up Business Emails?

After checking out literally every type of Hosting services. I finally decided to go for 1and1 webmail.

Do you know WHY?

Well to be honest.

At the moment I am using DigitalOcean hosting but I am fed up with it.

For some technical reasons, one of my websites was down for like 10 hours.

I would be okay if it was the first occurrence.

But now it has happened twice and Thrice.

So I decided to try some other hosting services.

Even though there are literally thousands of hosting services available.

I chose 1and1 hosting Services only because of their webmail service.

What is 1and1 Webmail?

It is an email service by 1and1 that lets you access and manage the business emails send or receive.

You can access these emails anywhere you want. All you need is a:

✅A smartphone or a PC.

✅An active internet connection.

✅Lastly, a web browser.

That is it.

1&1 Webmail Pricing

Every hosting plan comes with a basic webmail account

That is and that is indeed an affordable option.

You are running a business.

But if you are running a business the BASIC PLAN isn’t enough for you.

So for that, you would need a business plan.

See the difference for yourself.

The 1-dollar per month basic plan comes with a 2GB storage page for one email account whereas the business plan comes with 50GB email account space for an individual user

Along with that, you get a premium spam filter premium virus protection and spam filter. Data syncing feature in real-time

Not only that if you want you can expand the Storage space to more than 50 GB.

That’s great, isn’t it?

And best of all, this plan costs $5 per month for one user.

If you are planning to get it for a team, then it gets even more affordable.

For five users, you will have to pay $3/user. And for a 10 users team, you would have to pay 2.5 USD per user

Final Thoughts

Even though it’s been a few days for me to use 1&1 webmail hosting services, but the thing is, at the moment, I am satisfied.

There are many web service providers who claim to provide 24/7 services.

BUT ON PAPER.

My experience was a complete SHIT with such expensive and reputed brands.

Instead of looking going for any big player in the market, try to keep web hosting costs to the minimum. I would recommend you try 1and1 web-based hosting and webmail service at least once.

That’s all for now. If you got any questions for me, do let me know about them in the comments section given below.
