Like everyone posted here, Email hosting is similar to web hosting & all of them are right. Let me explain more. Do you know what Gmail is? It is a cloud based app, and it is email hosting service.

The difference is your one Gmail account has only one email address & it is free. You could manage that one email address to send emails, receive emails, manage contacts, additional configuration, etc.

If you buy email hosting service, then you can do the same operations as like Gmail but you will have more control here. You can add any number of email addresses (depend on the package), manage them, and you will have [email protected] type email.

Email hosting are just services that run email servers.
There are large number of free email service providers in the online market. I advice you go for a pay host, because when you create an email id with a free provider ,your id will have same domain name as the service provider. A paid service provider will allow you have the domain name of your business in the emai.
note that a business with a different domain name is not fully trusted but, if you can find a free host that can offer above mentioned, don't hesitate to work with them.

Email hosting just means you can receive email and send email. It allows for professionalism because you can have your email be on your business's domain name, instead of a @gmail.com or similar. I think that you should value email hosting so that you get respect when giving out your business email on a business card, website, etc.

Mail hosting is simply that. It's a shared server service that provides you email storage and sending/receiving capabilities. Think of it like this: gmail is a mail hosting service, restricted to providing only free mail accounts on their domain.

Email hosting service is just for managing emails. If you would like to use your domain (your website name) only for managing emails them you can go with it. Email hosting service will allow you to send, receive and store the emails.

If you are having hosting service for your website as well as emails and emails are taking much storage space, bandwidth, resources then it's best to opt to email hosting service to avoid your website issues. So if your hosting provider supports email service too then you can use your shared/dedicated as a mail server.

Email hosting service do provide the webmail interface as well as allow to store, manage and secure the email accounts.

Email hosting is really what you get with shared hosting but some companies add additional services such as advanced spam filtering for incoming email and so also filter SMTP traffic which enables the web host to filter out spam email that may be sent by the users on the server causing them to be black listed.

This will enable that users are able to send email from the server with out any black listing issues as lets face it you would be very unhappy if you are paying for an email service and then one of your neighbours on the server has been spamming and cause your sending IP to be black listed also

There are advantages to going for an email package compared to just purchasing webs hosting with email included

Email hosting just like a web hosting by definition is a web or internet hosting service which rents out and operates email servers. It's difference from Yahoo or Gmail is that these hosting providers cater to more demanding users like high-email-traffic small- and medium-sized businesses that require their own domain name in order to distinguish them more. As it is a premium service, email hosting provides greater security than that of Yahoo and/or Gmail.

About security, I agree for Yahoo but not for Gmail. Google provide a pretty good service with all security settings needed to make your email secured. And that's not always the same with Email hosting provider, because if you use only a password to access to your email, it can be bruteforced or leaked on internet.

I think email hosting is an online hosting services where they offer standard email services or any similar services using email servers.
Usually they are premium services. Unlike the free email servers like google or yahoo, these are not free. However they provide more advanced and high quality email services.

Email hosting is different from web hosting in that it specializes in emails while web hosting has other features that do not include email services.You can not publish a website on email hosting services.The two; web hosting and email hosting, are commonly classified as one and the same but in real sense are not.Companies like Yahoo! and Microsoft offer email hosting services whereby they maintain the privacy and security of their guests' email accounts and make sure the servers on which the email accounts are stored are dependable and reliable.

I have taken the liberty to address the two in case you got confused.I would like to suggest zimbra mail service as it has really taken care of my email needs.Kindly try it out and see the wonderful results that await you.Thank you for posting your question.I have learnt a lot more about email hosting than I already knew from the replies on this thread.

operates email servers in email hosting. Email hosting services usually offer premium email as opposed to advertisement-supported free email or free webmail.

Email hosting is a service that provides users with a specific email address that is hosted on the service's servers. This address can be used to send and receive emails, and the hosting service will typically provide users with access to a web-based email client to make sending and receiving emails easier. email hosting can also include features like spam filtering and virus protection.
