Step 1
Before you go about finding an email service, you need to look at your company and what it needs. Ask yourself these questions: How many people are in your organization? Will you (or your employees) be sending a lot of attachments? Will you (or your employees) be accessing email from multiple computers and/or hand-held devices? How tech savvy are you? The basic email domain includes five email addresses and a set amount of storage space. Even if you are the only one in your company, you might want to have an email for sales, billing and other departments. In addition to knowing the amount of addresses you need, storage space can become an issue if you need to save all your email (and you should) and send a lot of attachments with high end graphics.

Step 3
Using the results from your web search, research different companies and the options that they offer. If you are not tech savvy, it might be worth it to you to spend a little more money per month and find a company that offers good tech support.

Step 4
Call the sales department at all the companies before you make your choice to find out any other deals or options the company offers that are not on the website. Be sure that the email is POP3 compatible (if you want to use any email programs like Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes), and will work on all devices you want to read email, including Blackberries and iPhones (if applicable).
