Business email hosting in Pakistan: a buyer guide
A company address such as name@yourcompany.com looks more trustworthy than a free mailbox. Here are the two ways to get one, and what to check before you choose.

You can get business email in two ways: as email accounts included in a web hosting plan, or as separate corporate email hosting. Our Linux web hosting includes unlimited email accounts from Rs. 300 per month, and our corporate email plans start at Rs. 1,999 per month for 10 mailboxes of 10 GB each.
Why use your own domain for email?
Customers notice the address your message comes from. An address on your own domain shows who you are, and it stays with your business when staff change. Free mailboxes are fine for personal use, but they make a company look smaller than it is.
Option 1: email inside your web hosting
Most hosting plans let you create mailboxes on your domain. Our DirectAdmin plans include unlimited email accounts and have MailChannels enabled, and EdishCP plans include 10 GB mailboxes (for example five on the 1 GB plan). This is the simplest choice for a small team that already hosts its website with us.
Option 2: separate corporate email hosting
With a separate service your email does not depend on your website server. If you redesign the site, change host or have downtime, mail keeps running. Our corporate email plans give each mailbox 10 GB, POP/IMAP support, webmail, antivirus and antispam protection, forwarders, autoresponders and catch-all support, with a 99.99% uptime guarantee. They are hosted in a UK data center.
| Plan | Mailboxes | Per month | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| EM-1 | 10 | Rs. 1,999 | Rs. 23,988 |
| EM-2 | 50 | Rs. 3,999 | Rs. 47,988 |
| EM-3 | 500 | Rs. 8,999 | Rs. 107,988 |
| EM-3 Unlimited | Unlimited | Rs. 18,999 | Rs. 227,988 |
Which one should you pick?
- A few mailboxes and one website: email inside your hosting plan is usually enough.
- Many staff mailboxes, or email you cannot afford to lose when the website changes: choose separate corporate email.
- You send a lot of newsletters: do not use ordinary mailboxes for bulk mail, and use a service built for it.
Three records that help your mail reach inboxes
Whatever you choose, set up these three DNS records for your domain. They tell receiving servers that your mail is genuine.
- SPF lists the servers allowed to send mail for your domain.
- DKIM adds a signature that proves a message was not changed on the way.
- DMARC tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM, and sends you reports.
Your email host will give you the exact values to publish. If you are unsure, ask the support team to check them.

Questions people ask
What is business email hosting?
Business email hosting provides mailboxes on your own domain, such as name@yourcompany.com, separate from or alongside your website hosting.
How much does corporate email cost in Pakistan?
Our corporate email plans start at Rs. 1,999 per month for 10 mailboxes of 10 GB each. Larger plans cover 50, 500 or unlimited mailboxes.
Do I need separate email hosting?
Not always. A small team can use the mailboxes in a web hosting plan. Separate email hosting keeps mail running independently of your website.
What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?
They are DNS records that prove your mail is genuine. SPF lists allowed senders, DKIM signs messages and DMARC sets the policy for mail that fails the checks.
