1&1 Internet launches 1 GB Instant Mail package for less than £1 a month

December 1 2004, London - (HostReview) -  1&1 Internet Ltd, the world's largest web hosting provider by known servers, today launched a 1 GB Instant Mail package priced at less than £1 a month including VAT (£0.69 a month plus VAT).  Furthermore, from today all existing 1&1 Instant Mail customers will be upgraded to enjoy 1GB capacities.  The solution equips users with 5 separate 1GB IMAP email accounts and a full range of email features.   1&1's new Instant Mail enables one to send and receive email with your own domain name from any computer at any time.

1&1 Instant Mail provides easy, reliable and fully customisable email at a breakthrough price.  1&1 Instant Mail now comes with up to 5GB storage across 5 email accounts, SPAM protection, Symantec virus protection, 24/7 Express Support and is easily implemented via an intuitive Control Panel. 

1&1 Instant Mail benefits from IMAP advanced mail protocol.  In contrast to regular POP3 email accounts, IMAP technology uses a client-server whereby your mail program interacts with your inbox throughout a mail session.  The advantages of IMAP technology include access to an inbox from any computer in any location, much faster start-up times and optimisation for low-speed links.

Andreas Gauger, CEO 1&1 Internet, said "We are delighted to launch the new 1 GB Instant Mail package.  The solution equips any level of user with the latest high performance, customisable email technology for less than £1 a month.  Our attractive products such as Instant Mail prompt over 2,500 new customers to sign-up with 1&1 every day.   As the world's largest web hosting provider, we will continue to drive down prices and bring the latest web technologies to within everybody's reach".

1&1 Internet processes some 2 billion emails each month at its four highly-secure Data Centres.  The company provides the security of 99.9% uptime and enjoys an industry leading 18,000 MBit Connectivity via its own pan-European backbone.  1&1's 26,000 high-end servers are protected 24/7 against fire, gas, water and unauthorised access.
