*📜 Plan description

Professional Email raises limits for heavier use: 10 GB mailbox storage per user, larger attachments (up to about 25 MB), and the same option to create many mailboxes under your domain so teams can scale without juggling providers. POP/IMAP are both supported, with IMAP preferred for multi-device sync; webmail adds an address book and simple calendaring, while desktop clients keep richer scheduling features. Filters, forwarding, and server-side anti-spam/antivirus protect your inboxes by default. Provisioning is quick—point MX records or register the domain during checkout—and you can migrate mailboxes gradually while DNS propagates to minimize downtime. The same SMTP warm-up applies to new senders before limits expand to thousands of messages per day.

Common email platform details: The service is supported around the clock on chat/tickets with a published 30-day money-back guarantee on eligible services, and billing support during business hours. The knowledgebase explains mailbox sizing, POP vs IMAP, sender reputation, and client configurations for Outlook, Apple Mail and mobile devices. Upgrades from Personal are one click when storage or attachment needs grow. Everything is managed in WestHost’s in-house control panel so domains, DNS, hosting and email sit side-by-side for simpler administration.

📄 Editorial Review

WestHost (founded in 1998 by Chris Russell, which is still the CEO), is a long-running hosting brand within THG Ingenuity (formerly UK2 Group acquisition in 2008). They position themselves as a straightforward provider of secure, cost-effective web services with a focus on entry-level and SMB use cases.

The current catalog centers on shared web hosting, email hosting, WordPress hosting, domain registration, a website builder and a paid security clean-up service.

Shared hosting highlights include a free domain, free mailboxes, and free wildcard SSL; higher tiers advertise unlimited disk space, unlimited MySQL databases, and unlimited websites. WordPress plans layer a guided installer and the broader plugin/theme ecosystem on top of the same infrastructure. The website builder line targets non-technical users with bundled domain, email, page limits by tier, and eCommerce features at the top end.

Email hosting remains a clear emphasis, offered in two tiers (Personal and Professional) with POP/IMAP, mobile sync, webmail, spam/virus protection, and optional mailbox storage upgrades. Domains are actively marketed with aggressive first-year promos and useful extras like DNS control, email forwarding, and a free one-page site.

Historically they offer VPS options (SSD, multiple Linux/FreeBSD choices), but those services—along with dedicated/bare metal—have been folded into THG’s broader Ingenuity Cloud Services. Public activity on the WestHost brand has slowed (e.g., older blog/social timelines), suggesting the brand now primarily maintains core shared, email, WordPress, domains, and builder offerings.
