What is WebMail Lite?
Many organisations run their own mail server or use a provider that lacks a pleasant web interface. WebMail Lite fills that gap: a responsive, Gmail-like client with folders, search, drafts, attachments, contacts, multiple accounts per user and a plugin system, all talking to your existing IMAP/SMTP infrastructure. It stores only settings and contacts locally; mail stays on your mail server.
The package provisions a PHP application server and a MySQL or MariaDB database, installs WebMail Lite and completes the setup so you can add your mail server and start logging in. It is a small environment that costs little to run and can be branded with your logo and domain.
What the WebMail Lite Package Deploys
Marketplace packages are not bare container images. One click provisions a complete, production-shaped environment on MassiveGRID infrastructure.
- PHP application server: Apache or NGINX with PHP-FPM and the IMAP, mbstring and other extensions WebMail Lite needs.
- MySQL or MariaDB database: A linked database for user settings, contacts and calendars.
- WebMail Lite core: The current release installed with the admin panel ready for mail server configuration.
- Built-in domain and SSL: Users log in over HTTPS immediately; attach your own domain such as mail.example.com via Let's Encrypt.

Why Run WebMail Lite on MassiveGRID PaaS
Built for uptime. WebMail Lite runs on MassiveGRID's high-availability platform, where every environment is covered by a 100% uptime SLA. Nodes live on redundant hosts, storage is replicated, and failed containers are restarted or migrated automatically.
Pay for what you use. Billing is hourly and per cloudlet (128 MiB RAM plus 400 MHz CPU). Vertical auto-scaling adds and removes cloudlets as load changes, so a quiet WebMail Lite environment costs a few dollars a month and a busy one grows without a migration. Full details are on the PaaS page.
Your choice of jurisdiction. Deploy in New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore and keep data inside the region your users or regulators require. MassiveGRID is ISO 9001 certified and GDPR compliant, and has run hosting infrastructure since 2003.
No lock-in. The package is a standard Jelastic Packaging Standard (JPS) manifest. You keep root-level access to the containers, can export the manifest, and can move the workload to any other Jelastic-compatible platform or to your own servers at any time.
