As you can see here, 41% of emails are opened on a mobile device in 2022. Therefore, if you want your content to shine, it must appeal to a mobile format.
The problem is as the number of online users increases, standing out from the crowd has become harder than ever before. With some consumers receiving up to 100 branded emails in one day, your content must look authoritative, creative and not end up in the spam folder.
This is where email hosting comes in. designed to manage large volumes of consumer outreach, while supporting the structure, domain and security of an email, investing in an email hosting platform could be the key to staying on top of competitive outreach trends.
So what is email hosting, and how can it transform your outreach campaign?
Email hosting is similar to web hosting in that it aids your brand in centralising and storing all messages and data in one secure location while ensuring outreach consistency and managing high levels of traffic.
Businesses that invest in both web and email hosting benefit from streamlining both their inbound and outbound marketing efforts. Best suited to small and medium-sized brands, email hosting is great for business leaders that want to improve their credibility within their industry.
Investing in an email host can help your server stay on track in times of high traffic volumes, as well as boost inbox consistency by providing a brand with a hosted, personal domain name that matches their site URL.
Let’s have a closer look at some of the key benefits email hosting could bring to your outreach campaign.
From boosting brand credibility to increasing inbox security, here are some of the key benefits marketers could see when introducing an email host to their outreach campaign.
One of the most significant benefits associated with embracing email hosting is brand credibility. Using a professional email host provides businesses with a chance to use their own domain name as their email address.
Not only does this improve consistency throughout inboxes, but consumers are much more likely to open up an email from a personalised domain name in comparison to a Gmail or Hotmail alternative. With the ability to quickly connect your email address to your products and services, targets will be more likely to trust your email content and click on your call to action link. If your brand is doing email marketing and newsletter design, email hosting is an essential component.
Using a domain name checker, brands can quickly check domain name availability, before crafting the perfect one for their company. The key here is to keep it short, simple and relevant, so it remains consistent with your branding onsite and across socials.
If you want to ensure that your outreach efforts are secure, investing in an email host is a great way to keep your inbox safe and secure in a cybercrime peak.
After the pandemic sent cyberhacking up by 600%, emails have become the number one target for hackers in 2022. Using an email host, businesses can ensure that their messages are not being intercepted by other parties, and are instead being securely delivered to the intended recipient. Using encryption technology, businesses can pressure both co-workers and consumers that their data is safe.

Better still, some email hosts come with spam and malware filters and firewalls, automatically filtering out potentially harmful messages with just a click of a button.
As one of the biggest email-based issues that small and medium-sized businesses face, storage space is quickly filled up by incoming messages, and important emails are hidden within masses of other branded content.
Email hosts provide their users with endless storage space for all email addresses within the domain.
Better still, more advanced email hosts provide their users with a smart filtering system that highlights emails from important addresses and sends them to the top of a business’s inbox.
There are several things you must consider before choosing the right email host for you. With hundreds of host platforms available from providers such as Hostinger and BlueHost, each email hosting solution comes with its own set of personalised benefits for your business.
When assessing which option is best for you, it’s time to weigh up the costs of the service vs the services it provides.
For example, if you’re a startup business with a smaller outreach circle, elements such as mass storage and automatic filtering may not be a top priority. However, as a larger, well-established business that does a lot of email creative design, investing in a more pricy email host could offer your business more security and a more streamlined outreach process moving forward.
In business, time is money, so the key thing all businesses should be searching for is a host that is easy to use. Integrating email hosting into your outreach strategy should be a simplistic, streamlined transition, that shouldn't require too much training or outside support.
Taking time to choose the best host provider for your business needs will increase your chances of success and allow your team to embrace all the potential benefits of email hosting.
