There are a couple of things to keep in mind with this. Generally, hosting companies are referring to full POP3 accounts when they talk about E-mail accounts. This means that these are individual accounts that you and your employees can log into to collect e-mail. For a small business, you really don't need to many because most hosting companies will give you unlimited re-directs. This means that you can set up one account and then have lots of other e-mail addresses that just re-direct to your main account. You will also be able to have a catch all account which will collect any e-mail sent to your domain and put it in your account. You can therefore run a business with one POP3 account and use as many other addresses as you like - they'll all come to you. Keep in mind also that e-mail forwarding accounts can be set up to send e-mail to another address - maybe the e-mail address you have through your dial-up ISP. Overall, the number of e-mail accounts is not a huge issue - there are always ways around it.
