Email hosting
Email that looks like your business.
Ayrshire businesses: stop running on Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. Get a professional address, managed deliverability, and a human who will actually check the logs.
You’re paying for “free” email with your data
Those platforms stay “free” because you are the product.
- Your messages are scanned.
- Your metadata is logged.
- Your habits and contacts are profiled for ads and behavioural stats.
If you use that for business email, you’re feeding every client interaction into a machine you don’t control.
4Development.Net does the opposite
Twenty years ago I hosted sites while working nights between Riverside Bakeries and Morton’s Rolls. Simple kit, real people, no privacy traps. That hasn’t changed, just the hardware and the polish.
Now 4Development.Net is open again for a limited number of Ayrshire businesses who don’t want their email poured into an ad-tech furnace.
Why upgrade your email
- Stop handing your comms to data miners. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo scan and analyse everything. It feeds targeting, categorisation and behavioural modelling.
- Look like a real business. A branded address is the fastest credibility upgrade you can give yourself.
- Reliability over ad revenue. Your mail sits on servers sized for uptime, not ad impressions. No overcrowded clusters, no silent throttling.
- A human when something breaks. Not a chatbot, not a KB loop. A person who checks the logs and tells you what happened.
In plain English
They make money by mining your data. I make money by hosting your email properly.
If you’re in Ayrshire and ready to look like a serious business and stop feeding every client interaction into an ad platform move to a proper address.
I’ll sort the migration, set it up, and keep things running.
