Business-class email from NIC.UA, BUSINESS life, and Microsoft

A modern businessman's business card includes a phone number, email address, and sometimes an ICQ number. However, it's hard to imagine a modern businessman without a website. You can register a website with a free service and host your information there. However, a free service can sometimes mean problems accessing the site, restrictions on hosting, lack of support, and, most importantly, a lack of a custom domain name.

In today's world, a domain name is essentially a person's middle name, and in the online world, it's their first name. A domain is a brand that will bring you customers at any time of day or night. A domain means accessibility and visibility online. It allows you to connect with strangers and easily communicate with acquaintances. A domain is a sign of a person's credibility and the seriousness of a business; it's a part of one's image that some still forget, but which has become an integral characteristic of modern life.

The cost of maintaining a domain is approximately 12 times less than the average annual phone bill. This is a small but essential expense for every professional, and especially for a business owner, and it quickly pays for itself through new clients and partners, new connections, and increased brand recognition. Domain registration takes just a few minutes, and the result is a new brand representation for at least a year.

A business without a domain name is a dead business. Internet users don't know about it. And if a business isn't known online, it's unknown anywhere. Getting your own domain name has become much easier. A domain name doesn't mean you need to create a website—you might simply not have the time or effort. For starters, a domain can be used, for example, for email. Mobile operator life:) customers who use the BUSINESS life:) service can obtain a domain on preferential terms.

On March 2, Microsoft, mobile operator Life:) and domain registrar NIC.UA unveiled a new joint project, "Virtual Office" and "Workspace." BUSINESS life users can test the service free for 30 days, receiving a domain name in the BIZ.UA zone and an email address on that domain. Domain registration and support are handled by NIC.UA, and after the free trial, the domain and service can be renewed for a relatively small fee. If the user decides to connect their domain to a BUSINESS life email address, NIC.UA will also provide free support.

The "Virtual Office" and "Workspace" services allow you to organize your workspace from your desk or mobile phone. These services allow you to "rent" Microsoft Exchange servers and use them to manage your document management and email. Users are also guaranteed protection from viruses and spam.

Thanks to the collaboration between the three companies, for the first time in Ukraine, users can use their own domain name as part of their remote office services, connecting it to their mobile office. A custom domain increases customer recognition, which ultimately increases customer trust in the business and improves the company's overall image.

You can order a free trial on the official website of the mobile operator Life:)at this address.

The "Virtual Office" and "Workspace" services will be of interest primarily to small business owners who want maximum functionality at a minimum cost. These services eliminate the need to install and configure software, and email administration requires no special skills or expertise.

Both services support email management using Microsoft Exchange Server. This email experience is more convenient than free email accounts or hosted POP3 accounts. Using Exchange-based email provides clients with a range of advanced features not available with traditional email. This includes a wide range of functions. For example, email access is possible using the secure IMAP protocol. Furthermore, the Microsoft Exchange-based service allows for the creation and use of centralized data storage—email, calendars, contacts, and tasks—for all company employees. Tasks, contacts, and calendars can be shared for collaborative work. The service also allows for the creation of employee work schedules and tracking of their availability. All data can be synchronized across multiple devices, including mobile phones, laptops, and Blackberries. Using the Microsoft Exchange-based service also allows access to work environment data directly from Microsoft applications.
