Some more greatness about our email hosting…
TLS encryption
To protect your sensitive information our email service uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) to encrypt the data sent between our servers and your email client - so you can rest easy knowing your messages are safe every time you hit send.
Autoresponders
Every email address comes with a simple-to-use autoresponder facility. Simple to set up with your own message, it’s perfect if you’re away on holiday, or even just want to let people know you’ve received their email loud and clear.
Email forwards
Want a new email address but don’t want to create a new mailbox? That’s what our email forwarding service is for. Just add a new forwarding address and we’ll direct any mail sent to it to another existing email address of your choice.

Frequently asked questions about our email hosting
What is email hosting?
Email hosting allows you to send and receive mail from your own professional-looking custom domain name, using a dedicated email hosting service. This differs from free webmail services such as Gmail and Hotmail, which are usually supported by advertising and offer less control.
Email hosting at LCN is far more flexible than the free alternatives you’ll find online. Our email hosting packages are designed to grow with your business, and allow you to increase your mailbox size at any time with “email top-ups”. Plus, you can effortlessly manage your different email address via our in-house built control panel.
Starter email hosting is a great choice for bloggers and day-to-day email users, whereas Extra is perfect for demanding business users who require lots of storage and additional email addresses.
Both of our Starter and Extra email hosting services include…
- IMAP to synchronise email across all your devices
- Spam protection to combat viruses and malware
- Autoresponders and out-of-office messages
- TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption
What’s the difference between IMAP and POP?
IMAP email is a type of email service which keeps emails stored on the server (our end). This allows you to synchronise email across several different devices, and you’ll always be able to access all your emails. IMAP is what we use for our email hosting.
POP works a little differently: it downloads the emails onto your device and then, in most cases, removes them from the server. This means that once you’ve download an email on one device you can’t get the same email on another device – as it’s has been deleted from the server. This is why IMAP is the preferred way of getting mail across desktop, tablet and smartphones.
Check out the following IMAP support guides for more information…
- How to set up POP or IMAP email
- Changing your POP email account to IMAP
- Syncing your mailbox folders using IMAP
Its mobile optimised too, so it’ll look and work great on your tablet or smartphone!

What is this webmail you speak of?
Webmail is a way of accessing your email via a web browser like Chrome or Safari. All you need to do is login at webmail.lcn.com, pop in your email address and password, and you can send & receive emails to your hearts content. It looks like this…
It’s mobile optimised too, so it’ll look and work great on your tablet or smartphone!
Do I need a domain name?
Yes, you’ll need a domain name to go with your email hosting. This is one of the real benefits of having a custom email address – it means you no longer need to rely on third party providers with unprofessional looking email address like @hotmail.com or @gmail.com. Check out our guide on why you should always use a custom domain for your email address.
So fancy a domain of your own? You’re in luck – registering a domain name is a peice of cake. In fact we look after over 350,000 domain names for our happy customers.
If you already have a domain name elsewhere you can easily transfer it in to LCN too.
Is this service suitable for email marketing?
No, our email service is for the average business user. We expect customers to be pretty busy with emails, sending out dozens or even hundreds via your domain a day. However, our hosting is not suitable for email marketing.
We recommend you use a third-party specialist email marketing solution (such as MailChimp) which is designed to send out thousands of emails to large mailing lists.
What about support?
We think support should be easily accessible, and free. Our friendly customer support staff are based in the UK (Stevenage, Herts to be exact) and available 7 days a week by phone or email. Just give us a call on +1 646 889 1942 or raise a support ticket at www.lcn.com/contact.
Any hidden fees?
Nope. That’s just not our style. Our renewal prices are the same as purchase prices (apart from special offers of course). You’ll never suffer hidden fees or nasty surprises with us.
How many domains can I host on these packages?
Our Starter and Extra email hosting packages come packed with all the features you’ll need for a single domain. If you require email hosting for more than one domain, you’ll need separate email hosting packages for each. Alternatively, you could save money by using our MultiSite hosting package. See here for more details.
What if I need more space?
We’re confident our email hosting packages offer plenty of space for most regular email users. However, should you often receive emails with large attachments and you prefer to the keep them stored on our email servers, over time you may find you’ll need more space.
Should that ever happen, we also offer “email top-ups” which will further increase your mailbox size by either 1GB, 2GB or 5GB, starting from as little as £20 a year. Our email hosting plans grow with you – when you need it.
