All accounts hosted on Plesk or cPanel include full email functionality unless stated otherwise.

Supported Email Protocols

• POP3 – Downloads email to your device
• IMAP – Syncs email across multiple devices (recommended)
• SMTP – Sends outgoing mail

SSL/TLS is supported on all protocols for secure encrypted connections.

Alternative SMTP Ports (If Your ISP Blocks Port 25)

Some ISPs — historically including AOL, BT, Sky, and Virgin — block port 25 to reduce spam. Fast2host provides multiple alternative SMTP ports to ensure reliable outgoing mail:

• 25 – Standard SMTP (may be blocked by ISPs)
• 465 – SMTP over SSL (secure)
• 587 – Secure SMTP submission (recommended option)
• 49 – Additional Fast2host SMTP port for ISP blocking issues

If you cannot send email, switch to port 587 or 49.
