Why Run Your Own Email Server

Google Workspace charges $7/user/month. Microsoft 365 charges $6/user. For a 50-person company, that is $4,200/year — for email. Plus you hand your business communications to a third party who scans your emails for ad targeting and can lock your account without warning.

A dedicated email server on OMC Cloud gives you unlimited mailboxes at a fixed $8-16/month regardless of team size. Full control over DKIM, DMARC, SPF, spam filtering, and data privacy. Your emails stay on your server, in the data center region you choose. No per-seat fees, no scanning, no vendor lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many mailboxes can I create?+

Unlimited. Your mailbox count is limited only by disk space and RAM, not by licensing. A 4 GB RAM server handles 50-100 active mailboxes easily.

Will my emails land in inbox or spam?+

With a dedicated IP, properly configured DKIM/DMARC/SPF, and good sending practices, deliverability is excellent. You control your reputation — no shared IP risks.

Can I migrate from Google Workspace or Office 365?+

Yes. Use imapsync or similar tools to migrate all mailboxes with folder structure intact. Our team can assist with the migration.

Which mail software should I use?+

For simplicity: iRedMail or Mail-in-a-Box (installs everything in one command). For features: Zimbra or Mailcow. For full control: Postfix + Dovecot manually.

Is a dedicated IP included?+

Yes. Every VPS includes a dedicated public IP. Important for email reputation and reverse DNS configuration.

Can I send bulk marketing emails?+

OMC Cloud supports transactional and business email. For bulk marketing sends, configure proper DKIM/DMARC and follow anti-spam best practices. We recommend a separate IP for marketing vs transactional.

How do I access email from my phone?+

Configure IMAP/SMTP in any mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Gmail app). If you install Zimbra or Mailcow, you also get ActiveSync for push email.

What about calendar and contacts?+

Zimbra and Mailcow include CalDAV/CardDAV for calendar and contact sync. SOGo webmail also provides groupware features.
