Small Business Email Hosting: StrataMail Shared
Affordable business email for teams of 5 to 25 -- without the M365 lock-in or the cPanel risk.
Small businesses often get squeezed into one of two bad email choices: free Gmail accounts that look unprofessional and have no business recovery path, or Microsoft 365 licenses priced for enterprise budgets. StrataMail Hosting Shared Email is built for the gap in the middle -- real business email hosting with your domain, 5 to 25 mailboxes, professional support, and pricing that fits a small-business budget.
Who StrataMail Hosting Shared is for
- Small businesses with 5 to 25 employees who want professional you@yourdomain.com email
- Teams that find Microsoft 365 too expensive or too complex for what they actually use
- Businesses moving off shared cPanel hosting after deliverability or reputation problems
- Sole proprietors and consultants who need real business email without IT overhead
- Startups that want enterprise-grade infrastructure without enterprise pricing
What is included in every shared mailbox
Standard email protocols
Webmail, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP -- all over SSL/TLS. Use any client you prefer: Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, mobile. No proprietary lock-in.
500MB per mailbox
Storage is fixed at 500MB per mailbox for shared. If your team needs significantly more, the VPS tier offers configurable storage with no per-mailbox cap.
Baseline spam filtering included
Every shared mailbox includes baseline filtering. Upgrade to SpamWeeder Premium, VIPRE, or Proofpoint directly from the configurator for advanced threat protection.
Daily automated backups
Mailbox data is backed up daily so a deleted message or accidental wipe is recoverable. No separate backup product required.
Optional Backup MX continuity
Add Backup MX from the configurator. When primary mail is unreachable, your incoming mail spools at our end and delivers when service returns -- no bounced messages.
No long-term contracts
Pay monthly or annually (with discount). Cancel anytime. No multi-year commitments, no termination fees.
Three sizes -- pick what fits your team today
Shared email comes in 5, 10, and 25 mailbox bundles. Pick by current headcount; you can move up later. Live pricing is on the configurator.
| Plan | Mailboxes | Storage per box | Best for |
