Email Hosting: Managing email accounts, storage and DNS records

One of the earliest needs for a new business is to have an official email address for all business related email communication. There are several email hosting options available. If you are signing up for InfinCE Workplace, you can avail the Email hosting option provided by InfinCE, as it enables you to manage all your assets in one place.

Hosting Email in InfinCE

You can choose to host your email in InfinCE during your Sign up process (paid plan). Your email server will be up and running when your signup process is complete, without any hassle!

Even if you had already set up email hosting elsewhere, you can choose to move it to InfinCE for easy administration. Please contact us, so our Consultants can help you through the process. 

Once your email hosting is set up/moved to InfinCE, you can create new email accounts, manage the email storage and manage your DNS records related to email from within InfinCE Workplace.

Email Accounts

When your Emails are hosted within InfinCE, every new InfinCE user automatically gets his email configured.

In addition, you can also create additional/generic email accounts for business functions like sales, support, marketing etc. These can be created and managed from the Administration > People > Users > ‘Additional Email Accounts’ tab. These additional email accounts can be handled by the concerned members of the department and configured within their email client for monitoring.
