Question FirstClass

Hey,
Has anyone here used FirstClass or heard of anyone who host it (that they've used before)?

Was wondering if I could get any opinions on FirstClass (and their host) or any good alternatives?

We are thinking about migrating to FirstClass.

Thanks!!

Seems a very limited account size these days of 15mb and the website looks rather dated when you log in and even I have struggled finding the location of the reply buttons etc, in my opinion if you want more storage you can get better interface as well elsewhere.

At first glance it sounds like a lot but it includes full support, dns service, spam and virus filtering, sync services, and more. This price also includes up to 10 FirstClass accounts (each with 2GB space), and web hosting. All of our clients use FirstClass for email, workgroup collaboration, and web hosting.

We are running a legitimate business that has been in operation since
2000 and will be around for many years to come.

We also average a lot less downtime than many of the large mainstream email providers. In 2012 we had less than 10 minutes of downtime!

I'm new to this board. I heard about this board on a web hosting board that I participate on. What is representative status? Thank you.

i believe it is so people can identify you as affiliated with a certain company and not just some spammer

We also provide free basic FirstClass accounts for personal use only. In addition to the features of FirstClass, this gives you access to our conferences (forums) which cover a variety of topics including computers, business and finance, entertainment, sports, recipes and cooking, and more. Anyone here who would like a personal FirstClass account is welcome to contact me for more information.

A representative status means that you officially represent an email service provider. See also forum rule D. Edwin, the administrator of this board can setup a "representative of:" field. The name of your service will then be displayed below your username. You can ask for it in a private message (PM).
