Having an in-house mail server allows you to have total control over your company’s email. Buying this service from an ISP puts your ISP in control over your company’s mail and they can’t customize the service for one client, as many are using the same server.
You can create as many email accounts as you wish with no added costs. Also, you can scan for viruses on the email server and use it a ‘filter’ to filter out junk mail before it gets to the person in the office network.
most email accounts costs: $5./per month /per account.
30 staff = $150./mo.(1800./yr.) in email expenses. (Who said email is free?)
an in-house mail server costs $0. (a computer is required) for unlimited email accounts with customized features for everyone.
