Choosing a Web Hosting Provider - How Many Mailboxes Do You Get?

SUMMARY: Do you get only one e-mail address with your web hosting provider or multiple?

One consideration in choosing a web hosting provider is finding out how many mailboxes your website can obtain. For example, if you want to run a website at address domain.com and have several employees working in the business, you may need the following e-mail addresses:

webmaster@domain.com
sales@domain.com
support@domain.com

Some web hosting providers put a limit on mailboxes, be it 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, or higher. However, some web hosting providers allow a virtually limitless number of mailboxes, useful if you plan on running a community site and want each website user to have their own e-mail address.
