In this 3rd part of "Why website owners should know about web hosting" , we will focus more on the email features that website owners don't get benefit of. Webmail access , this is a topic which most of website owners don't want to bother themselves with , why ? Because they are use to using the generic free gmail services and just don't bother with managing another webmail site.

The webmail services provided by the web hosting providers are mostly compatible with the general free email clients people already using , but they are unaware. For example I am using the emails of the website through gmail , I can send , receive emails with email address "myname@mywebsite.com" fromt that same gmail environment. So I never have to worry about using a new environment or any other desktop client which I don't like much myself.

All this can be setup using features like POP3 Email Accounts with SMTP. EVen you can receive your email to your phone via IMAP Support. There are also other smart features like for preventing spam with Spam filtering within functions , Autoresponders, Mail Forwards, Email Aliases, Mailing Lists. SO thats of free features provided with the web hosting service you do buy. Again I would like to mention number of features depend on the package you are buying. If you your website is being managed by someone else , either a company or a indivual you the right to know the email features provided with your web hosting package so you can use it you full extent.
