Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Fasthosts Email Hosting provides hosted email for individuals, sole traders and small businesses that need custom-domain addresses without a broader collaboration suite as the starting point. Core access includes webmail, POP3 and IMAP4 support, spam filtering, antivirus protection, email templates and synchronization across devices. The service is available through web, iOS and Android platforms, and mailbox migration tools support moves from another email setup.

Pricing is structured across three paid monthly plans. Mail Basic 5 costs £3 per month, while Mail Basic 25 costs £4.50 per month; both include the same listed core features and optional Mail AI. Mail Business costs £7 per month and adds a 50 GB mailbox per user, along with shared calendars, contacts and tasks. The published prices are standard monthly prices and exclude VAT. Optional Mail AI covers writing, summaries, translation and quick replies, giving the lower-cost plans an additional productivity feature without requiring the business tier.

The main choice is between straightforward hosted mail and added groupware. Mail Basic plans suit small operations focused on domain email, webmail and familiar desktop or mobile client access. Mail Business is the better fit when shared calendars, contacts and tasks are important alongside larger mailboxes. Buyers seeking a free plan, or a service centered on a wider collaboration environment rather than email hosting, should look elsewhere. Fasthosts is most appropriate for cost-conscious businesses that want conventional email features, migration support and optional AI rather than an expansive platform.
