Question 1

What is a Titan Email alternative?

Accepted Answer

Any other route to hosting and running your company mail. That covers rival platforms such as Google Workspace, Zoho Mail, Fastmail and Microsoft 365, and it covers managed services like this one, where somebody else carries the licence and holds the account instead of leaving it inside the hosting plan you bought the domain from.

Question 2

How is Cascadia different from Titan?

Accepted Answer

Titan sells a mailbox to web hosts and registrars, who resell it to you with a control panel and a renewal date. We sell the administering. The subscription is ours to carry, the migration ours to run, the authentication ours to keep aligned, and your staff phone us rather than a colleague or a hosting desk. We deliver that on Google Workspace and Zoho Mail. We do not manage Titan today, so if you are staying there this page is a comparison rather than a proposal.

Question 3

How does your price compare to theirs?

Accepted Answer

Titan does not publish one. There is no pricing page on titan.email and no pricing entry in its navigation, because Titan sells through web hosts and registrars who set their own rates. Whatever you pay appears on your host invoice. Our management fee is five dollars per user per month on Zoho Mail and ten on Google Workspace, with the platform licence carried on our account and billed alongside it. So we cost more, and the difference is a person who owns the panel. If somebody on your team already does that work well, our price makes no sense and you should back your own arithmetic.

Question 4

Is Titan cheaper than this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and by a wide margin. Titan is priced for small businesses and is often included free for a first year with a domain, so a bundled seat can cost you nothing at all. We are not going to pretend that compares. Any platform costs less than that platform plus a person to run it. Our price should be measured against the hours somebody in your business currently loses to mail administration, or against the salary you would pay to make it their actual job.

Question 5

Why can I not find Titan's pricing anywhere?

Accepted Answer

Because Titan does not sell to you directly. Its own navigation offers Features, Partners, Help Center and Partner With Us, and no Pricing at all. Titan's pitch to web hosts is that they can package and price it however suits them, which is why two companies on Titan can pay quite different amounts for the same mailbox. That is a reasonable way to run a wholesale business. It just means the rate card you are hunting for belongs to your host rather than to Titan.

Question 6

How does your billing differ from theirs?

Accepted Answer

We bill monthly for the seats you actually have, licence and management together on one invoice, with no term and no renewal date for anybody here to forget. When somebody leaves, you tell us and the next invoice is smaller. Titan mailboxes bought through a host usually sit on that host's billing cycle, often annual and often bundled with the domain and the website, so removing a seat means working out which panel to open first. In most of the accounts we inherit, nobody has.

Question 7

Should we move off Titan at all?

Accepted Answer

Often not, and we would rather say so early than at the third meeting. If you are a handful of people and somebody runs it well, stay where you are. The move makes sense when nobody can say which account the mail actually lives in, when the seat count has drifted well past your payroll, or when you are changing web host and have just discovered your mail is attached to the one you are leaving.

Question 8

Can you move us off Titan without losing anything?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with one thing worth raising early. Mail, contacts and calendars all come across and nobody's address changes, because addresses belong to your domain rather than to Titan. What we establish first is what else sits on that account. Where the domain, the website and the mailboxes were sold together, cancelling one can disturb the others, so we map out what is bundled with what before anything is switched off.

Question 9

Will anybody lose mail during the move?

Accepted Answer

No. We copy first and cut the DNS over second, so mail keeps flowing throughout and nothing is deleted from the old account until you say so. Stragglers can still land in the old mailbox in the window after the copy finishes, so we run a final sweep the following week rather than calling it done at the switch.

Question 10

What if nobody here knows the administrator password?

Accepted Answer

That is a common starting point and it is usually recoverable. With Titan the credential you actually need is often the host or registrar login rather than a Titan one, so recovery runs through whoever sold you the hosting and follows their process rather than Titan's. The domain is yours regardless, so mail can be rebuilt on it even in the worst case. Tell us at the start rather than on the migration weekend.

Question 11

Does this replace Titan or sit alongside it?

Accepted Answer

For mail it replaces it. Companies sometimes ask whether we can run the staff mailboxes and leave a founder on the old Titan seat, and the answer today is no, because managing Titan sits outside this service. If you want a split, keep whatever else your host bundles in and move the company mail somewhere it can be owned properly, and we will map that out rather than sell around it.

Question 12

Can we keep our existing email addresses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you should. Addresses belong to your domain, not to your provider, so moving where the mail lives changes nothing on anybody's business card. The one exception is a company still sending from an address that ends in a web host's own domain. That is worth fixing on the way through rather than carrying forward for another five years.

Question 13

Who owns the mailboxes and the data?

Accepted Answer

You do. The domain is yours, the mailboxes are yours, and everything inside them is yours. Ask for a full export whenever you like and it comes back the same week, in a standard format, at no charge. If you leave, we hand over the admin credentials rather than making you rebuild from nothing. Worth saying plainly: Google and Zoho are large companies with other businesses attached. If staying clear of them was part of why you are on Titan, that is a fair reason to stay exactly where you are.

Question 14

Who sets up SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

Accepted Answer

We do, on every domain your company sends from, and we align them so the whole chain can be verified. Then we read the DMARC reports, which is the step nearly everyone skips and the one that tells you what is actually sending as you. Once the reports come back clean we move the policy from monitoring to enforcement, and we keep reading them after that.

Question 15

How long does a migration take, and what breaks?

Accepted Answer

Most moves finish inside three weeks of the first conversation, and under fifty mailboxes usually cuts over across a single weekend. Coming off Titan, add time for working out what else is bundled into the same hosting renewal. What breaks, reliably, is whatever nobody mentioned: the scanner that emails PDFs, the website form, the billing system with a password from 2019. We ask for that list up front and we still find two more.

Question 16

What if I want to leave?

Accepted Answer

Thirty days notice ends it and everything is portable. The DNS records sat on your own domain throughout because they were always yours. Mailboxes, contacts and calendars stay exactly where they are, and we hand you the admin credentials rather than making anybody rebuild. If the right answer for you turns out to be a bundled mailbox after all, we will say that too.
