Free or paid suites

Infomaniak offers several messaging solutions with or without additional collaborative tools:

  1. A Mail Service is the name given to the messaging service created by Infomaniak in Switzerland. You can order a Mail Service independently of kSuite.
  2. kSuite is a collection of Infomaniak services that includes, among other things, a Mail Service and revolves around a personal domain name.
  3. my kSuite and my kSuite+ are limited versions of kSuite, do not require a domain name, and can also perfectly meet your email needs.

 

Cost of simple email offers

This email can be…

  • free if you are content with an address with a generic domain name (what comes after the at sign @), imagined by Infomaniak (etik.com, ik.me, ikmail.com) by taking my kSuite (my kSuite+ unlocks some limitations of my kSuite)
  • … at very low cost if you are content with one or two free email addresses on a domain name that you pay for (there are domain names for less than 5 CHF/€ per year, these will be your only expenses and it allows you to personalize your email addresses) by ordering:
    • either the Starter offer (1 email address only)
    • or the kSuite offer

 

Need a large number of email addresses?

If you need multiple email addresses on the same domain, then it is possible to order a Mail Service only (5 email addresses minimum) or kSuite which exists in 3 different versions:

  • Standard
  • Business
  • Enterprise

The common point of all Mail offers is that you must have a user account with Infomaniak (a login identifier in the form of an email address, as well as a password) which will lead you to your Organization where your email will be found.

 

Additional tools (kDrive…)

If you choose a Suite (kSuite or my kSuite / my kSuite+), this user account will lead you to your Organization where the suite of tools will be found, therefore your email but also kDrive, kChat etc.
