Dropmyemail is a cloud-based e-mail backup service owned by Dropmysite.[1] It allows users to automatically backup their e-mails with the ability to view, migrate or restore them via web browser.[2]
Overview
Dropmyemail was conceived by John Fearon.[3] The site was launched in March 2012 at Demo Asia, a conference for emerging technology, in Singapore.[4]
Dropmyemail's backend is written in Ruby on Rails and hosted on Amazon Web Services' Cloud Infrastructure. It supports e-mail platforms such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo. It can also be used with other services via IMAP or POP settings.[5]
Business model
On November 21, 2012,[6] Dropmyemail introduced business plans[7] for SoHO and SMB based on per e-mail mailbox pricing. It also changed from a Freemium[8] business model to a 15-day Free Trial model.[9]
The company introduced an affiliate program[10] on December 13, 2012. This allows others to resell Dropmyemail's service.[11]
