Is an email server provided with ecthosting?
and can new addresses be added to the server?

I want to keep my domain email address which lives on my windows VPS with PLESK control panel that provides an email server. And my Registrar is Godaddy and it's just pointing to my web server.

Will this be the same setup but without email server

Hi Dave

Basically we can set it up any way you wish. By default, transactional email will work but there's no other domain email service provided. Or we can configure DNS here to point to some external service (free), such as Office365 or your own mail server in this case, or we can design some custom mail service to meet your needs at extra cost. Up to you really, it's very flexible.

A curious thought ?

I have been using ECT since 2006 on my own Windows VPS-PLESK with 3rd party FP extensions (Yes a dinosaur, but it works)
I am not and do not want to become an computer geek.
Hence the reason for ECT (Thank You) Love you guy's!!!

It's time to get in the present

So this is why I can't understand, why you guy's wouldn't just set up a simple email server to go with the website hosting for the domain names!

I would prefer my email address match my domain!

I run my own web hosting VPS and know how easy this is to do which is load email program and go thru the same control panel that you are using to configure the server and give limited access to the client to create an email account(s).

(we can design some custom mail service to meet your needs at extra cost)

I understand you can do that but why!

To me, this does not make sense, why not just go ahead and provide email service for the websites you want to host! Included.......

1) Template
2) Hosting
3) Email-Your Domain (The Biggy)
4) Domain Registrar

keep life simple instead of having people deal with MX records and third party email stuff that they probably whether not deal with

again, a curious thought

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave

Thanks for your kind words and support over the years. I'll have a word with Peter about the points raised.

Hi Andy,

Any word from on the Hosted website domain email.

I remember when you had to do this for ASP!

From the Manual

Main Settings
The email address you set in the "Email address:" section is very important. [red]It has to be an address on the same domain as your website as this is a security feature for most hosts to avoid SPAM[/red]. For instance if your website is www.yourwebsite.com then an email address on that domain would be say info@yourwebsite.com

So I take it this not the case anymore,

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave

Sorry, I should have got back to you - I did speak to Peter and we set up a page with hosting details here https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/ectstore/hosting.asp

The hosting comes with transactional email by default. This means that any email triggered by the store will be sent and will work correctly. We can configure your set up so that emails go to an external service such as Office 365 or your own email server. If you prefer we can set up a custom mail service for a fee, please contact us if you require further information.

In regard to SURFEED's question, can I have an outgoing email address with the domain name - eg mail@mydomainname.com? I would think this is very important especially when communicating with customers.

Hi

Yes, that would be possible.
