Professional email on your own domain from $0.49/user/mo — with MailGuard inbound filtering, calendars, file sharing, and sync on every device.
Two plans, one price per user, billed annually. Both include every feature — you only pay more for bigger mailboxes. The renewal price is the purchase price.
Perfect for small teams
For growing businesses
Essential is $0.49/user/mo (25 GB) and Professional is $0.99/user/mo (75 GB) — annual prepaid only, billed in USD. All plans include Cenmax MailGuard protection, webmail, and mobile sync. If you're hunting for the cheapest email hosting for small business that still runs on real, certified infrastructure, this is our honest answer.
Email hosting for business shouldn't stop at an inbox. Every mailbox comes with collaboration tools, calendars, security, and seamless sync across all your devices.
Enterprise-grade spam filtering that blocks 99.98% of spam before it reaches your inbox.
Exchange-protocol compatibility for seamless sync with Outlook, iOS, Android, and any ActiveSync device — the hosted Exchange experience without the licensing.
Full CalDAV and CardDAV support for syncing calendars and contacts across all your devices.
Built-in file storage and sharing. Send large files without attachment limits.
Built-in video conferencing for team meetings without third-party tools.
Two-factor authentication and encryption to keep your communications secure.
Most email hosting services are priced and packaged for enterprises. Ours is a business email hosting service that works just as well for a two-person shop: pay per mailbox, skip the bundles you'll never open, and look professional from day one.
Custom domain email hosting means you write from [email protected], not a free webmail address. It's the cheapest credibility upgrade a small business can buy.
Add mailboxes as you hire, starting at $0.49/user/mo. No minimum seat counts, no forced bundle of office apps, and no renewal jump — the price you sign up at is the price you keep.
Webmail works out of the box, phones connect over ActiveSync, and our team helps with setup and migration. One of the few email hosting solutions where "set up" doesn't mean "hire a consultant".
Full protocol support for any email client or device — open standards like IMAP and CalDAV alongside Exchange protocols (ActiveSync & EWS), so Outlook and mobile users get push sync without a hosted Exchange license.

Moving domain email hosting sounds scarier than it is. Whether you're coming from Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, or cPanel mail, the switch is three steps — and our team assists with all of them.
Order the seats you need and set up a mailbox for each person — same addresses you use today, on the same domain.
Existing mail moves over IMAP from virtually any provider. We assist with the transfer so folders, contacts, and calendars arrive intact.
Update your domain's MX and DNS records to our servers. New mail starts flowing to Cenmax; your domain stays wherever it's registered.
Your mail runs on the same audited, fully managed infrastructure that hosts our banking and fintech clients.
Every inbound message passes through Cenmax MailGuard, blocking 99.98% of spam with virus scanning and quarantine management.
TLS encryption in transit, two-factor authentication on every account, and optional IP restrictions for tighter access control.
SOC 2 Type II compliant and ISO 27001 certified — the same standards our infrastructure is held to for regulated workloads.
Fully managed mail infrastructure across the USA, Germany, and India — redundant power, DDoS protection, and 24/7 monitoring.
Business email hosting is a service that runs email on your own domain ([email protected]) on professionally managed mail servers, instead of a free webmail address or the basic mailboxes bundled with a website plan. You get bigger mailboxes, spam filtering, calendars and contacts sync, and per-user pricing that scales as your team grows. For many small businesses it's the best email hosting choice because you only pay for mail — not a whole office suite.
Yes. This is email hosting for your domain — any domain, registered anywhere. You keep the domain at your current registrar and simply point its MX records at our mail servers. There's no need to transfer the domain or move your website.
No. Business email hosting works standalone — all you need is a domain name. Your website (if you have one) can stay wherever it's hosted today, or you can run email with no website at all. Mail and web are separate DNS records, so they don't have to live with the same provider.
Yes — every Cenmax shared hosting plan includes 5 to 50 mailboxes at your domain, free for life. This page is the standalone product for teams that want more: 25–75 GB mailboxes, ActiveSync push sync, shared calendars, file sharing, and online meetings, without needing a hosting plan at all.
Cenmax Business Email starts at $0.49/user/month billed annually. Suite providers charge more because they bundle office apps — Google Workspace Business Starter and Microsoft 365 Business Basic both list at $7.00/user/month on annual plans (US list prices as of July 2026; pricing may vary by region and promotion). If your team mainly needs reliable email, calendars, and file sharing on your own domain, you're not paying for a suite you won't use.
Every plan supports POP3, IMAP, and SMTP for any standard email client, ActiveSync and EWS for Outlook and mobile push sync, CalDAV and CardDAV for calendars and contacts, plus full webmail access from any browser.
Cenmax MailGuard is our enterprise-grade email filtering solution that blocks 99.98% of spam, viruses, and phishing attempts before they reach your inbox. All inbound email is filtered through our MailGuard servers for maximum protection.
