Leeds, UK, September 22, 2004 -- Ecenica, a low-cost web hosting, email and domain name registration company, has today announced the launch of Ecenica Mail, their new range of personalized web mail and POP3 email plans with up to 2GB of mail storage.
Aimed at home and small business users, Ecenica's all inclusive plans offer multiple personal email addresses (your-name@your-domain), up to 2,000MB storage, Yahoo-style web mail and extra features such as POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and spam and virus protection. All services are 100% banner-free and support by Ecenica's innovative Support Messenger, a 24/7 secure support service.
But why will users choose Ecenica Mail over free services like Yahoo Mail and Hotmail?
A question posed to Ecenica's Sales Director, Rich Moore. "Our market research shows that when it comes to things like job applications, reports and business stationery, people are embarrassed to use the email address assigned by their ISP of free service. This is not to say people stop using their free email accounts, they just prefer to reserve their 'free' email addresses for occasions when they don't want to give out their real email. In a sense their free email account is used as their Junk e-mail filter."
"What people want is an alternative email service that gives them all the features they get with their free service, but with large mail storage. We also recognize that the plans have to be competitively priced to lure people away from settling with the free option. We're confident our plans offer just the right balance between service and price."
Rich adds, "Our plans give users the flexibly to choose how they want to manage their mail. With Ecenica Mail, you can send and receive email whilst at work using our web mail, share mailboxes with colleagues and when you return home you can open your copy of Outlook to view the same mailbox. This level of integration is not offered by any of the free services."
Rich explains the core features of Ecenica's email plans, "Our entry plan comes with 2GB of mail storage, 1GB more than Gmail and comes with full POP3, SMTP and IMAP connectivity, features that the free providers charge extra for. We also include practical features like catch-all email address, mail forwarding and the ability to check external POP3 accounts."
One of the core features of Ecenica Mail is the brand new web mail portal. "Ecenica Mail has been developed exclusively for Ecenica and offers a similar user-experience to Yahoo Mail and Hotmail making users of these services feel immediately at home. The big difference, is that you'll never see a banner or advert anywhere on your web mail or emails. This makes for a far cleaner and enjoyable experience."
Ecenica Mail is available now at http://www.ecenica.com/email. Plans start at $29.99 / £19.99 a year for the 2GB Personal Email Plan.
