OVH, My solution to replace G Suite legacy free!

Since Google's announcement, I've been thinking about solutions to replace this service in an efficient way with a good quality-price ratio.

At first I thought about free services, like Yandex, 500mail, mail.ru, etc...

After thinking about it, I don't want a free service to be in the same situation as today in some time.

I looked at the shared offers and they offer hosting at 5.99€ with 250 GB of space, but especially 100 mail accounts with 5 GB of space each. You can use with 10 domains.

There is also a promo with an unlimited number of domains, 1000 mail accounts with 5 GB of space, 2GB of ram guaranteed, 1 vcore.

The price is 5€ per month, but I don't know if it's for one year or for the whole contract.

    iirc outbound infrastructure isn’t really good for most webhosting companies. Is OVH using a single IP shared with their web hosting offering, or are they using some kind of SMTP relay?

    May I also ask what kind of management panel they’re using (if any)?

    Mentally strong people just run nc -l 25 and answer SMTP commands manually.
    No need to pay Google or OVH.
    All you need is an IP and a domain.

    When I used OVH MXplan years ago in the past the management was via OVH manager, OVH doesn't use just one IP they got a pool for IP used outgoing mail not sure how many ip but its more than 20-30 different ips.

    Can't remember any major issue on deliverable, not used OVH for like 4 year plus so not sure if OVH is any good nowadays.

  • The 50% discount for performance seems like only for 1 year :(

    That should be more 'physically' than 'mentally'.

    That just reminded me of "Bruce Almighty 2003", where Bruce replies emails with Yahoo Mail, which predated Gmail.
