Inbox Defence
Spam runs out of road before your inbox
Two scanning layers screen incoming mail, MailChannels carries everything outbound, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC keep your domain's reputation solid — all included with the hosting.

The Outcome
Less noise coming in, better delivery going out
Protection on arrival, reputation care on departure — across every mailbox you run.

Spam parked before it arrives
Every message gets scored on sender reputation, wording and behaviour, so anything suspect sits in quarantine instead of cluttering your inbox.
Every attachment inspected
Files and payloads riding along with your mail are checked against up-to-date threat signatures, stopping infected attachments and phishing links at the gateway.
All sent mail rides MailChannels
Outgoing messages leave through MailChannels, which shields the shared sending reputation and keeps legitimate mail out of other people's junk folders.
Authentication configured for you
SPF, DKIM and DMARC go onto your domain so receiving servers can confirm your mail is genuinely yours — and anyone faking your address hits a wall.
Threat data always fresh
Scoring rules and signature databases update around the clock, so a spam campaign launched this morning is already recognised. You lift no finger.
Zero drag on your site
All scanning happens at the mail gateway, not on your web server, so your pages and control panel keep their full speed.

Inbound
Intercepted at the gateway, never at your desk
No message lands unread by the filter. Each one is judged on sender reputation, content and the safety of its attachments, and anything resembling spam, malware or a phishing attempt is held in quarantine — keeping the inbox clear for mail that actually matters.
- Reputation and content scoring
- Live virus and malware checks
- Phishing and spoof detection
- Suspect mail parked for review

Outbound
What you send actually arrives, via MailChannels
Sending from a shared server only counts if the mail arrives. Yours travels out through MailChannels, a relay engineered to protect sending reputation — so invoices, password resets and newsletters hit the inbox, not the junk folder.
- A relay dedicated to sending
- Reputation kept intact
- Less mail flagged as spam
- Delivery you can count on

Proven Sender
Messages other servers can trust on sight
Deliverability is a trust game. We configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC on your domain and align your reverse DNS, handing receiving servers hard evidence that your messages are real. The result: stronger inbox placement from day one and a sender reputation that keeps improving.
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC in place
- Reverse DNS aligned
- Domain spoofing blocked
- A reputation that compounds
Turned Away
The traffic that never reaches you

Junk and bulk sends
Unrequested newsletters, scams and mass mailings get scored and routed into quarantine rather than your inbox.
Impersonation and phishing
Senders pretending to be someone else, and links designed to steal logins, get flagged before anyone on the team opens them.
Malware-laden attachments
Dangerous file types and known malware are stripped out at the gateway, so nothing infectious ever reaches a desk.

FAQ
Mail filtering, question by question
Do I pay extra for the filtering?
No — it comes baked into the hosting. Inbound spam and virus scanning plus MailChannels outbound delivery run on every mailbox we host at no charge. Nothing to purchase, nothing to enable.
What role does MailChannels play?
MailChannels is a relay dedicated to outgoing mail. Routing your sends through it protects the reputation of the sending IP, which sharply cuts the odds of other providers shoving your genuine messages into junk.
What happens when a genuine email gets caught?
It happens occasionally, which is exactly why suspect mail is quarantined rather than deleted. Browse what is being held, release anything flagged in error, and the filter learns from every release you make.
Why do SPF, DKIM and DMARC matter?
Together, those three records prove that mail carrying your domain's name genuinely came from you. With all three live, spammers cannot pose as your address, and inbox providers gain solid grounds to trust — and deliver — what you send.
Will filtering slow down my site or my email?
It won't. Scanning runs at the mail gateway, completely separate from your website, so the site and control panel keep their usual pace and messages still land promptly.
Do I need to change my mail setup?
Not a thing. The filtering works silently in the background — keep using webmail, Outlook, Apple Mail or any IMAP or POP client exactly as before.
Let your inbox breathe again.
Every hosting plan ships with spam and virus filtering, MailChannels outbound delivery, and full SPF, DKIM and DMARC authentication.
Browse Hosting PlansMost inboxes spend more effort deleting than reading. For a team, filtering is the cheapest productivity you will ever buy. It rides on NVMe arrays with LiteSpeed leading, in data centres with conditioned power and more than one route out to the internet.
A strong match for teams drowning in spam. Certificates cost nothing, the migration costs nothing, backups run on their own, and support replies fast no matter the hour.
Spam intercepted before the inbox
Every inbound message is scored on reputation, content and attachments before it can reach a mailbox: clear junk is blocked, borderline cases go to quarantine for your call. Outbound filtering counts just as much — it flags a hijacked account before your domain hits a blocklist and your invoices stop being delivered.
None of it hinges on the tier you pick. NVMe storage, LiteSpeed with HTTP/2 and the 99.9% uptime SLA hold steady from the smallest plan to the biggest.
The value of proper filtering
Comparing HostingFast is easy because nothing is concealed. The listed price already carries the certificate, the migration, the backups and the support — the parts other hosts tack on later. Every hosting plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so a test run risks nothing but an afternoon.
Filtering comes built into the mail service rather than priced per mailbox, so covering the entire team adds nothing — even the addresses that only ever receive.

Inside the inspection pipeline
Filtering runs on relays in our London datacentre, refreshed continuously with new signatures and reputation feeds. Quarantine and delivery logs stay readable from the panel whenever you need proof a message landed.
Backups fire daily and restores are self-service from the panel: no ticket, no queue, no waiting on office hours we do not keep anyway.
- You control the quarantine on inbound scoring
- Reputation protected by outbound filtering
- a 99.9% uptime SLA backed by service credits
- Daily backups you restore yourself, in one click

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
What if a legitimate message lands in the filter?
It sits safely in quarantine instead of disappearing. One click releases it, and adding the sender to an allow list stops a repeat. If something important keeps getting caught, our desk adjusts the rules with you rather than telling you to babysit the folder.
Do I wait around after ordering?
Within minutes of checkout. Migrating from another host adds a day at most and is free — files, databases, mail and DNS all handled by our engineers.
Do certificates cost anything?
Free, installed and renewing on its own. You would only buy a certificate for a wildcard or a validated seal that procurement demands.
What if email spam filtering is not right for me?
The plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Say the word within the month and the refund goes through — no exit interview, no hand-off to a retention team paid to argue with you.
