Yes, I'm agree.
It focuses on hosting with email as a part of it.
Opening threads asking others for help and then never sharing the solution are the worst Internet users.
Though I ignore such irrelevant comments but its LET, I had to respond.
I don't understand what is issue here, visiting forum is not just helping others, it is also about learning from other's experience and choices. This is the same philosophy which makes us HUMAN and differentiate us from animals. Unlike animals, Human learns from other's experiences also. Here reason for asking was to know his reasons to choose, may be something special he found which I didn't know.
But I had no idea that this small curiosity will give you chance for being judgemental as well as opportunity for you to post completely irrelevant post to in the thread.
You do understand that @TimboJones was reacting to @Binaryzero and not to you, right?
Oh, that's shame, I guess I should not check LET before going to bed.
Can recomend https://soverin.net/ if your privacy driven about your data.
Hello, Binaryzero.
Scala H returned their anti spam protection which is a good fact - you could check here - https://scalahosting.com/kb/how-to-enable-spamassassin/
Also they are explaining how to configure your SPF record and DKIM properly so your email does NOT go into spam folders - which is important.
Greetings.
Looks polished but at €3.25 a month it's the same price to just stay with Gmail.
IMO no one who has GSuite Legacy today cares that much about privacy, they fit into the customer segment who wants something cheap that just works.
Tried lark with a spare domain and they seem to send via domain.***.dkim.larksuite.com
Is that SES?
Under the hood yes.
I want to apologize to everyone who expressed dissatisfaction with me for not sharing who I am ended up going with, I ended up needing to deal with a divorce so that delayed things a bit, and I had not made a choice until now. I will be going with MXRoute, they feel to be the most solid offering for what I need and have the lowest risk of IP blocking in my opinion.
Thank to @jar for his sharing his reasons for protecting his IPs it is what sold it for me.
And to everyone else that contributed: You are a great lot of humans and all of your feedback was invaluable!
So you ended with personal email hosting instead of family email hosting?
Feel sorry for you, man. Hope everything get better.
thanks for the kind words!
I still need family, just one less account. I still need to host my adult children and parents.
A bit on the pricier side but... Google Workspace, it's a great service
I wouldn't go / stay with Google unless it is free.
G-Suite Legacy forever free, lets rename it Workspace and charge everyone. Very dirty trick and they keep on doing these tricks. Lets lock you in and then bump up the charges.
As far as moving away from GMail (G-Suite legacy), I setup cloudflare to do email forwarding to a free GMail account and setup a CPanel on Racknerd to allow sending (using my domain name).
All photos, were shared with the new account and autosave enabled so I have all photos available on the free account.
For GDrive I used rclone and rsynced everything to the free account.
All bookmarks and passwords copied to new account.
Ok it took a bit of planning and apart from the rclone setup, moving everything to new accounts took about 10 minutes per account (have 12 accounts/colleagues).
Curious as to what made you move away from Zoho? Other than the not-so-recent change where IMAP access was made premier.. can't say I have much to complain about them.
Office 365 is great!
It is crap in every sense of the word, that is what I am trying to get away from
Never used them, but I did check them out, I did not like the UI, the price or the bloat, I was just looking for email.
It would be valid, but their PPU is too high for my needs, this is family email, not a business.
I agree with what you are saying but at the same time, we have to expect that it would end at some point.
The rest of what you said is valid but does not fit my use case.
Out of curiosity, what makes you think it is crap? I've tried just about every similar service out there, and very few comes even close to Google Workspace or 365.
For pure emailhosting you can get something cheaper elsewhere, that is true, but then you are not really comparing apples to apples.
Yandex[dot]com provides free custom domain mail account with smtp/pop3/imap support until 1000 accounts. I tried today with a free .tk domain. You can check.
Yandex has already been mentioned several times in this thread (and the OP prefers not to use Yandex)
Congrats on your first post
Didn't google say they'd do something about a family plan and do a survey and shit?
They need something to compete against Office family plan.
But they never said that it was going to amount to anything, it was more like take our survey and we may think about it.
In light of our current geopolitical landscape, there is no way I would use them.
Partly bitter over the always free service ending, the rest is my personal tinfoil hat rant that I will spare everyone here.
I missed this one, SPF and DKIM do not matter if the source IP is already blackholed for spam. But in a perfect world SPF and DKIM are very important, I can't disagree
