The vast most of the email systems are controlled by domains such as Google, Hotmail(MSN) and Yahoo. They offer free email hostings at no charges for the user, and are transforming the game of the email market. But one might ask, how is this profitable? They're free! Well, If every one of these domains are doing this, there must be profit gained from hosting free email sites.

This brings us back to the days everyone hadto pay for their email accounts, and those email accounts contain only around few megabytes of capacity. One even have to purchase the bandwidth and relays if it exceeds your plan! All of that has evolved, today's web hosting; as well as server hosting is almost equal to how much money we used to cover just email accounts. Bandwidth speed and capcity has been ever since increasing rapidly, increasingly more information are now being distrubuted across the internet, the amount of people expose to the Internet has multiplied to almost 380% from years 200 to 2009 according to the data provided by internetworldstats.com.

Now, if we take a look at the ways popular domains generate profits, we are going to soon learn about "Ultra-Targetted Advertisements", the reason why Google, Yahoo, Hotmail are so successful is they often provide verytargeted advertisements to users who uses their search engine. According to the keywords you searched, they could create a summary of advertisement to show up while searching. It aids your search and simultaneously promotes products for the Advertiser, this method has genereated billions of profit for Google, Yahoo, MSN(Hotmail). The crucial role free email hosting plays in this part is, nowadays pretty much everyone has their email account. Often user might find generated advertisements on the sides or included in the signature, this yields even higher earnings for these domains.

So how does this all be relevant to the individuals? As free email hosting becomes increasingly widely used, I've gottenthe exact questions alot, "How do I start my own email hosting site?". I wondered the same myself, I scoured for information on google, but all I found was pre-existing sites trying to sell me pre-registered email domains and it's still part of their system, there are limitations on what you can customize and do How hard would it be to setup your own hosting server from scratch? I then came across a site which claims they have a software that can easily create sites with the Google Mail interface, AJAX. At a first glance I wondered if it's possible myself, but doing further research made me interested in this product, when I saw they are providing free trials I promptly signed up and received a copy of the software. To my suprise the setup was extremely easy as it includes a detailed instruction in PDF format as well as the entire layout of the site in one folder, all I had to do was upload it AS-IS onto my FTP server and follow the PDF guide to configure it which took me around 30 minutes and the site is already running!
