Gmail does not provide immutable archiving, e‑Discovery or granular retention policies required by many regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI‑DSS), putting you at risk of fines.

A domain is the web address (e.g., example.com) that people use to access your website. It acts as an easy-to-remember identifier for your website’s location on the internet.
Hosting is a service that allows websites to be stored and accessed on the internet. It provides the necessary infrastructure and resources for a website to be visible online.

On the contrary – IMAP and Exchange sync instantly across smartphones, tablets and laptops, ensuring you always have the latest messages wherever you are.
