Zoho Mail products and hosting plans
E-mail hosting
Zoho Mail provides business email, webmail and an administrator console for managing accounts and settings. Our comparison lists Zoho Mail Lite with custom-domain email, a mailbox, 5 GB of storage per user, IMAP/POP3/SMTP, mobile and desktop apps, calendar and contacts, spam and virus filtering, and two-step verification. The listed plan also includes email support, live chat and phone support. It can suit businesses that want hosted email and administration tools without buying a wider software suite.
Online storage
Zoho WorkDrive is Zoho’s cloud file-management and team collaboration service. Our comparison lists Starter, Team and Business options, with desktop synchronisation, link sharing, online document editing and controls such as link passwords and expiry dates. These plans are aimed at teams that need shared business storage; Zoho’s published paid WorkDrive plans start at three users.
Data centres and support
Zoho says it assigns an account to a regional data centre based on the signup country, which is preselected using the signup IP address. Its published locations span regions in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. The location assigned to a particular account should be confirmed in its Zoho account region.
Zoho lists email support around the clock. Its support information also lists round-the-clock chat and phone support for paid plans, plus help articles, FAQs, forms and community forums.
Who Zoho Mail suits
Zoho Mail may suit businesses looking for hosted email alongside other Zoho applications, or teams that want email and shared file storage from one software provider. Look elsewhere if you need a confirmed data-centre location before signup, or if WorkDrive’s minimum paid team size does not fit your needs. Check the specific plan terms for your region before committing.
