IMAP, CalDAV and an admin console

Standard protocols, so it works with the apps your team already uses — and an admin console so adding a new hire takes a minute, not a support ticket.

Webmail, plus the apps you already use

Read mail in any browser, or add the account to iPhone Mail, the Gmail app on Android, Outlook, Apple Mail or Thunderbird. Standard ports, TLS everywhere.

ProtocolServerPortSecurity
IMAP incomingmail.yourdomain.in993SSL/TLS
SMTP outgoingmail.yourdomain.in465SSL/TLS
SMTP alternativemail.yourdomain.in587STARTTLS

Calendars and contacts

Shared calendars and address books sync to phones and desktops over CalDAV and CardDAV.

Aliases, forwarders, catch-all

Give one person several addresses, forward copies elsewhere, and catch mail sent to typos.

Shared mailboxes Pro+

One support@ or sales@ inbox that several people read and answer from, without sharing a password.

Archiving and retention Max

A separate, searchable copy of every message sent and received — kept even if a user deletes it — for as long as you set.

An admin console for the office manager

Add a new hire, reset a forgotten password, set up an alias or remove someone who has left — from one screen, without raising a ticket or waiting on IT.

Hosting email or Business Email: which do you need?

Every web hosting plan lets you create an email account in cPanel, and for many sites those mailboxes are enough. Here is where they differ.

DNS setup

MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC: five records that make your domain send like a business

MX records route incoming mail to us. SPF, DKIM and DMARC prove to Gmail, Outlook and everyone else that mail from your domain is really from you — the difference between the inbox and the spam folder.

  1. 01

    Add your domain

    Add the domain in your client area. We generate the exact MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC values for it — no guessing.

  2. 02

    Copy five records

    Paste them at whoever hosts your DNS — GoDaddy, Cloudflare, your registrar or us. If you point your domain to VirtualCloud and we host your DNS, we add them for you.

  3. 03

    Verify and create mailboxes

    The admin console checks each record and shows a green tick. Changes usually appear within minutes, occasionally up to 24 hours.

Example — your exact values appear in the client area What each record does →
TypeHostValuePriorityCopy
MX @ mx1.virtualcloud.in 10
MX @ mx2.virtualcloud.in 20
TXTSPF @ v=spf1 include:spf.virtualcloud.in ~all —
TXTDKIM vc1._domainkey v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8A… —
TXTDMARC _dmarc v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.in —

The DKIM key is unique to your domain, so it is shortened here. Moving from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365? Remove their MX records and SPF include when you switch, and keep only one SPF record per domain.

Email migration

Bring every old message with you

We copy your existing mail over IMAP — folders, read status and dates intact — while your current provider keeps working. Nothing to download, nothing lost in the switch.

Gmail and Google WorkspaceOutlook and Microsoft 365Zoho MailAny IMAP host
  1. 01
    Tell us where your mail is now

    The provider and the mailboxes to move. App passwords work; we never need your admin login.

  2. 02
    We copy everything over

    Mailbox by mailbox, while your team keeps using the old service as normal.

  3. 03
    Switch MX, then a final sync

    After the MX change we run one last pass, so mail that arrived during the switch is not left behind.

Calendars and contacts import from standard .ics and .vcf exports.

Business email FAQs: sending limits, storage and spam

Something else? Email sales@virtualcloud.in or talk to sales.

Yes. Your domain can stay with any registrar — you only change its MX and TXT records. If you don't have a domain yet, search and register one first.

Add an IMAP account in iPhone Mail, the Gmail app on Android or Outlook: incoming server mail.yourdomain.in on port 993 with SSL/TLS, outgoing on 465 with SSL/TLS (or 587 with STARTTLS). Calendars and contacts sync over CalDAV and CardDAV. Your welcome email has the exact settings.

Yes — every mailbox has an hourly sending limit that protects the reputation of the whole platform. Limits are sized for normal business correspondence, not bulk newsletters; for marketing campaigns use a dedicated email marketing service. See the acceptable use policy.

Every incoming message is scanned for spam and viruses before it reaches the inbox. Likely spam goes to the Spam folder, where you can release it, and each user can allow or block specific senders and domains.

In India, in our Mumbai (IN-WEST) and Delhi NCR (IN-NORTH) data centres. That helps when a customer contract or internal policy asks for data to stay in the country. More in our data centre and security pages.

Yes. Add a mailbox for a new hire or remove one when someone leaves, from the admin console at any time. To change plans, use the client area or open a ticket.

Yes. We copy mail over IMAP from Gmail and Google Workspace, Outlook and Microsoft 365, Zoho or any other IMAP host, then run a final sync after you switch MX records. Request a migration.

Business email has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Domains bought alongside it are not refundable. The full terms are in the refund and cancellation policy.
