I self host pretty much everything, but one of the services I find makes more sense to not self host is an email server.

I’ve got a few domains I’d like to have emails for, and usually I’d go for Tutanota or protonmail. But in this instance I’m looking for something dirt cheap. These domains are for a hobby club so I’m much less concerned with privacy like I usually would be. Anybody got any recommendations?

So far namecheap seems like my best option for under $8/month. They would bundle with my domain registration and I’m assuming having both on the same service would make things pretty seamless to set up.

Not crazy concerned with privacy for these particular accounts. Namecheap or similar is reputable enough.

    If need unlimited cheap accounts: MXroute. Sometimes he does lifetime promos. For webmail he has a custom version of roundcube with some paid plugins that have a Gmail like skin or another paid webmail like crossover. He used to offer afterlogic webmail but then stopped “because nobody’s using that and it’s hard to set for alias domains”. Pity because I liked the aesthetic. Can set forwarding from unlimited aliases to Gmail but this is monitored. If you receive (and forward) too much spam or use it to send thousands of useless activity notifications, he’s going to block or throttle that because he wants to keep his sender reputation high. For example he doesn’t forward any email from Facebook or Wordfence notifications

    If need a single inbox: Zoho mail. Can set a catch all on unlimited alias domains that goes in the same inbox. And if a specific address needs to be blocked, for example you signed up to temu using [email protected] and then they’re bombarding you with endless spam and ignoring your stop requests, you can set to reject all emails directed to that temu@ account. Emails can be forwarded but only if you set a custom filter in the web mail, it’s a bit limited

    I am paying for both, monthly for Zoho and a lifetime for mxroute (lifetime = mxroute it’s a single man operation, so it’s not my lifetime rather… *KNOCKS WOOD*)
