Hosting
Assess CRU-hosted email for your domain, or plan a move to a suitable provider. Hosting, filtering and migration are separate choices.
Based in St. Joseph, serving St. Cloud and Central Minnesota. Remote work and on-site availability are confirmed for your location.
Good fit for Businesses reviewing an existing hosted-email service or planning a mailbox move.
New hosting depends on platform suitability, support and licensing checks. A listed rate does not create a mailbox or authorize a migration.
What you get
Before you decide
Plans and separately priced work
| Service | Rate | Included scope & terms |
|---|---|---|
| Hosted email Basic | $6 / mailbox / month | 50 GB mailbox in an accepted hosting environment. |
| Hosted email domain | $10 / domain / month | Domain-level hosting charge in addition to mailbox charges. |
| Mail Guard domain | $7.50 / domain / month | Required foundation for Mail Guard mailbox filtering; compatibility reviewed first. |
| Mail Guard mailbox | $1.50 / mailbox / month | Mailbox filtering in addition to the required Mail Guard domain charge. |
What your budget buys
CRU prices the mailboxes and domain charge openly, with a named service contact and a separately agreed migration plan. Filtering is a separate choice, so the starting mailbox price does not hide its required domain component.
Each accepted Basic mailbox has 50 GB. Migration, device setup, filtering, software and recovery requirements are separately agreed.
Filtering requires both its domain and mailbox components. Add this optional amount to the hosting example if selected; filtering alone does not host mailboxes.
