Hosting and Email recommendation

In the new year, setting up a small business and need hosting (about 10 pages) and email for 3 people.

Each person will need to be able to log into their own account, send and receive.

Any suggestions of a good service at a reasonable cost?

    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
  • Office 365 a great product and good investment.

    But if you are looking for cheap hosting/email, then by far your best bet is Unlimited Web Hosting.

    How about one of the Paragon Internet brands - TSOHost or Vidahost? I'm with Vidahost and have found their support to be friendly and responsive.
  • I've been using Fastmail for a year and I have no complaints. They offer Two Factor Authentication with a Yubikey, this means that your users can't sign in without inserting the key in the USB socket of their computer which protects against email hijacking, although it makes it difficult to use any device that doesn't have a USB socket. You can also use your own branding so users can't see that it is Fastmail.

    They recommend GANDI as a domain supplier so I use that for my two domains as well. But I think if I did a website now I would put it up on Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage. You get the first year free.

    Really? £9.20/per user/month? OP asked for "reasonable" cost.

    Get a standard webhosting from any webhosting company for under a tenner or even for less than a fiver which includes already tons of email accounts.

    Or get a VPS and set up as many email accounts as you want, host your website etc. Costs me £11.99/month.
    For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.

    Tax deductible as a business expense.

    Tax deductible as a business expense.

    What reasoning is that? Why stop at ~ £30/month? Go for a £100/month package.

    Paying a third before tax will also be a third after...
