*📜 Plan description

Entry email mailbox with 5 GB storage, unlimited email addresses (aliases), webmail with calendar, spam & virus protection, TLS encryption, and IMAP access to sync across devices. Designed for sole traders or very small teams that need a professional address on their own domain with basic storage and simple management. Upgrade paths allow you to increase mailbox size later without changing the domain.

All LCN email plans show prices ex-VAT and can be taken monthly or annually; the configurator displays the lowest promotional per-user price first. Common inclusions across the range: IMAP email, webmail, autoresponders, address book & calendar sync, and UK support. Mailbox sizes scale from 5 GB to 100 GB depending on plan, and there’s ‘unlimited email addresses’ (aliases) per domain. Security tools include anti-spam, anti-malware and TLS transport encryption. Administration is via the Online Control Panel with options to add mailboxes, adjust storage and update DNS. If your domain isn’t with LCN you can still point MX/DNS to use the service. Pricing is ex-VAT (20% UK VAT added where applicable). No setup fees are advertised for email hosting. Source: Email Hosting page (plans, features and price blocks).

📄 Editorial Review

LCN (founded in 2000 and now part of team.blue) focus on making it easy for small businesses to get online, pairing straightforward products with UK-based assistance. They host over 35,000 active sites and manage 365,000+ domains, positioning themselves as a one-stop shop for domains, hosting, email, and simple site creation.

Shared Hosting runs on Linux with unlimited bandwidth and email, daily backups, free first-year domain, email forwarding, virus/spam protection, MySQL/phpMyAdmin, FTP/SFTP, SSH, and multiple PHP versions. The platform emphasizes speed (SSD/NVMe, caching) and resilience, and adds an in-house Security Shield for DDoS mitigation and malware scans; higher tiers include auto-patching for popular CMSs.

Managed WordPress offloads updates (WordPress/PHP/plugins/themes), adds automatic backups with easy restores, and includes assisted migration, aiming to remove day-to-day maintenance for agencies and SMEs.

PureSSD VPS targets users who want control with performance: 100% SSD storage, 4-hour automated backups (9 restore points), free snapshot, automatic live migrations if the host becomes saturated, and self-managed flexibility (Windows Server, Debian, AlmaLinux, Ubuntu). It’s designed for higher uptime and rapid recovery without sacrificing choice of stack.

Beyond hosting, they offer Email Hosting (unlimited addresses, calendars/contacts), Microsoft 365 (Exchange email, Teams, Office apps with 1TB OneDrive), SSL certificates (DV with warranties), a template-driven Website Builder with an AI setup assistant, and a Web Design service (rapid builds for simple sites).
