Certified Electronic Mail: PEC, what is it and what is it for? PEC (certified electronic mail) has been in our lives for many years now, but many still don't know of its existence, while others have one available but have never used it. All Host.it customers have the possibility of having a PEC connected to their domain and thus benefit from the enormous advantages that this tool can give to the daily life of both businesses and private citizens.

What is PEC? PEC stands for: certified electronic mail. It is an IT tool that allows you to send and receive emails which, compared to "ordinary" ones, have legal (legal) validity and which therefore can be compared, by law, to a registered letter with return receipt. With the advantage of being able to send it comfortably from your office or from your armchair at home, without queuing and saving on sending costs.

Why is it certified? First of all, the content of the PEC message is guaranteed and cannot be modified. Very advanced security protocols are used, thanks to which the text of the email cannot be manipulated by anyone. This is essential when communications with the Public Administration are at stake or when a simple cancellation needs to be given.

Another very important aspect of certified email is the "return receipt" which certifies the sending of the message. PEC messages therefore represent digital documents with legal value and to make them valid it is necessary to keep them in accordance with the law for 10 years.

Are companies obliged to have a PEC? Yes, companies are required by law to have a certified email address and communicate it to their chamber of commerce. This address is public and can therefore be used for official communications towards this company, especially by the Public Administration.

All shared hosting profiles offered by Host.it include the certified email service, thus guaranteeing the company a single interlocutor for all services.

Are private citizens obliged to have a PEC? No, the private citizen is not obliged to have a PEC, even if given the numerous advantages that this tool can give, it would be stupid not to have one. Host.it also allows a private citizen to obtain an email address on their own personalized domain for less than €10 per year.

What are the advantages of a certified mailbox? Imagine being able to send contract cancellations from the comfort of your armchair at home or from your office. No more queues at the POST OFFICE. How many times have they told you: Run to the post office to send the cancellation of the contract, otherwise it will be automatically renewed! Imagine being able to receive official communications from the Public Administration, directly via email, on your PC, instead of receiving those hateful non-delivery notices and then having to go to the POST office just a few days later, with all the anxiety of not knowing what awaits you? In conclusion: the PEC is a tool of the future, already available TODAY. We'll all have to have one.
