Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain

HamalaKarris@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 129 points –

Hey guys,

after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it's probably better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun.

Now I saw that Porkbun doesn't offer catchall emails so I can't use it for my usecase.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small business.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Microsoft365. It’s like $6/user/month and you get access to the whole MS suite (Word, Excel, etc.). Email is managed by Exchange Online. Crème de la crop as far as email goes.

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem and just want something barebones then you can use a custom domain with your iCloud account. I think it’s called iCloud+.

I am already paying for iCloud+ so I use their service with my domain. It gets the job done.

Seconded, I have an iCloud+ family plan so it was a no-brainer to use their mail. Setup was easy and it supports catch-alls.
