    Question Domain email hosting

    Can anyone recommend a cheap web host, its just to host a domain & email, needs to have 5/10 pop3 accounts & its own secure smtp server for their domain as the users are roaming?

    Thanks

    My own personal choice would probably be www.3dpixelnet.com (as I currently host about 6 sites with them )

    I had a look at some of the sites in the sticky, but at 6 pages long lol, havent got all day.

    1and1 dont seem to offer SMTP server as part of their packages.

    3Dpixelnet looks really good & the price is very good to, might even sign up myself.

    Thanks

    Well, that's the easiest way to get recommendations - if you don't want so many recommendations, just don't read all the pages!

    3Dpixelnet looks really good & the price is very good to, might even sign up myself.
    Recommended by me as well - the customer service (or what I've experienced of it) is excellent.

    Get the hosted exchange 2003 mailboxes from then and you get a lot more than SMTP

    Both guys I've used (we currently have a dedi server with cat2) and they're very helpful, quick and excellent value...

    Thanks for all the suggestions, i do appreciate it.

    Moby, the managed exchange would be ideal, except for the cost to my client.
