Secure Email via IMAPs, SMTPs, and POP3s now supported by SiteGround

SiteGround web hosting company has recently announced the upgrade of their

IMAP, POP3 and SMTP services. As part of its main goal to ensure the most

secure and reliable web hosting environment, the company has dedicated time
and
resources into upgrading its email service by implementing an encrypted

connection (SSL) for sending (SMTPs), receiving (POP3s) and reading emails

(IMAPs).

With the rapid growth of security risks during data
transmission, especially on
mobile and wireless networks, email security is
getting more and more important
for everyone. That is why, SiteGround now
provides for its customers SSL-
encrypted connection for checking and sending
emails. Thanks to Secure IMAP
(IMAPs), POP3 (POP3s), and SMTP
(SMTPs) all incoming and outgoing
communication from and to a remote mail
server is encrypted. This means that all
the information sent or received by
email is converted into a form called Ciphertext
and as a result cannot be
intercepted or hacked by third parties. This significantly
reduces the risk of
password thefts and data sniffing.

SiteGround has also once again shown
care for its customers by not just
introducing the new services, but also
making sure that everyone will be able to
implement them easily on their
hosting accounts. SiteGround Team has prepared
useful articles to help
customers enable the new services with just a few mouse
clicks. Detailed
tutorials for the most popular mail clients have been created to
make customer
experience even more pleasant.

“Security and reliability of service is an
ever-increasing concern for everyone. Here
at SiteGround we are well aware of
this and are constantly working for upgrading
the security of our hosting
service.” says Anatoly Dimitrov, Senior Support Team
member and leader of
the project. “We believe that the introduction of IMAPs,
POP3s, and SMTPs is
a great benefit for our customers that guarantees secure
and safe email
environment”, added Anatoly.

The introduction of SSL-secured email
services once again has shown that SiteGround is constantly working towards the
improvement of its services and aiming perseveringly at protecting its customers’
privacy and security in the best possible way.
