If your business emails are integrated with Gmail:

  • Your emails will be channelled through our server into your Gmail account so rest assured you won't ever have storage issues with us as all your mail is kept safely in your Gmail account. Please ensure 2 - step authentication and recovery email addresses are set on your respective Gmail accounts. Hashtagweb is not responsible for creating Gmail accounts or maintaining the security of your Gmail accounts.
  • Your storage will be dependent on your Google account - "Every Google Account starts with 15 GB of free storage that's shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. When you upgrade to Google One, your total storage increases to 100 GB or more depending on what plan you choose." - Taken from google.
  • Once the business email has been integrated into the Gmail account you will not need to keep the password unless you plan on integrating it into another Gmail account at a later stage. We do not keep any business email passwords, if you have forgotten them you would need to request us to reset your passwords. If you would like to ensure we do not have access to your passwords you will need to log in remotely to our pc to set your password. Alternatively, we can also give you access to the control panel to your server to set the password but we will not be liable for issues thereof as you will then have full access to even manipulate source files on your website. Please keep the passwords for your Gmail account safe and have the necessary password recovery options enabled.
  • Spamming rules will not apply to you as when you email out from your Gmail account it is using the Gmail server and the business email address is just an alias(they won't see anything Gmail related). Please respect the spamming rules of Gmail. Please ensure anyone who receives an email from you has consented to do so.

If you are using a mail client such as Outlook instead of Gmail:

  • You will receive 5GB Storage space at R99 per month (an additional 5GB at R49 per month valid for 2021).

  • Our Outlook support is limited. Any software issues you may experience Between Outlook & MacBook you would need to contact Outlook or an IT Support company. We can perhaps try to assist at times.
