If your business is using the free email account that came with your website, then your data is at risk
One of the biggest problems with the "free" POP3 email accounts that come bundled with most web-hosting plans is that once you've downloaded the email onto your local machine, the only backup of your data is any backup you do. And if you're like most people, backing up your local mail file is something you don't do as often as you should. And your contacts, calendar items, and all the folders you have everything organized into - you could lose it all to a single harddrive crash, laptop thief, or even a power surge.
Advantages of ZiOffice's hosted Zimbra messaging solution:
- All of your information - mail, contacts, appointments, and all the tagging and organizing you've done - is stored on our central server, and backed up. And with Zimbra's modern architecture, incremental backups ensure you won't ever lose your data.
- Anti-virus protection is built into the server - the ClamAV anti-virus software used in Zimbra is updated every few hours, and infected emails are stopped before they get to your inbox.
- Spam-filtering is built into the server - most spam never even reaches your inbox!
- Finally - unlike Microsoft Exchange's "Exchange Store" (message storage) format which is notorious for becoming corrupted - messages in Zimbra are stored directly in the Linux/Unix filesystem - a system with decades of refinement behind it. It's the safest and fastest way to store your data.
- Best of all, you never have to actually think about any of the technical details with hosted Zimbra from ZiOffice - suddenly, you're free to just use your information and get back to work, without wondering whether it's time to back up your .pst file, or if your anti-virus is up to date. Let us take the worry out of your inbox.
