Looking for a email-provider where i can host my own domain

Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.

I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?

mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.

migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.

I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.

Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:

Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:

icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)

mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB

purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)

infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited

sorted out

migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)

Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)

posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)

other recommendations: too expensive

I’ve been using Zoho for email on my domain. My residential service blocks port 25 so being actually self hosted wasn’t going to work. I had rented a cheap VPS for $4/mo to run it on, thinking I’d have other uses for it. Eventually I just went to the Zoho free email hosting with my domain. It’s been fine for years and I’m reasonably sure it has a catch-all as well.

zoho

Please excuse me if this is just superfluous. Just wanted to chime on Zoho. It has been excellent for me and lowest tier is very cheap (gives protocols for external access without browser)

Moonrise2473 ,

That one man is mxroute

Lifetime is $150 for 10gb otherwise is $40 per year for 100 gb both unlimited domains emails and aliases

I’ve been using purelymail. 10 dollars a year and you can add as many domains and make as many accounts as you want.

ReginaPhalange ,

Serious question - as a normie I’m usesd to - Email Provider=Domain.
Google = @gmail.
ProtonMail = @protonmail

How does custom domains play into this? Does using a custom domain for mail requires a special entry in the DNS record?

Magnets, how do they work?

i_lost_my_bagel ,
@i_lost_my_bagel@seriously.iamincredibly.gay avatar

Yeah they give you the DNS records to add to your domain

engineer ,

This looks pretty great. How long have you been using it for? I am using FastMail for quite a while, but I don’t use web interface, or calendar / contacts syncing (have my own nextcloud server for those), so just need email. Its’ pretty pricey compare to purelymail.

i_lost_my_bagel ,
@i_lost_my_bagel@seriously.iamincredibly.gay avatar

I’ve been using it for around a year

Not sure why I see this one recommended so much. Seems like it’s run by just one dude who won’t always be able to respond to support requests, security issues and other emergencies in the time frames you’d want with such a service. I also really wouldn’t want to bet my ability to securely access/send/receive important emails on that one person in Delaware not randomly getting hit by a car or something.

engineer ,

Yeah, I didn’t know it was just one person. That doesn’t really feel umm… safe for something like email.

jrylander ,

It is true afaik but support has been excellent from him. Used it for a few years but switched to zoho for better support of protocols.

Ocelot ,

Im pretty happy with protonmail. Email is kind of important you may not want to go with the cheapest option.

Jarmer ,

Another vote for the proton services. Been with them for years and very happy.

Second proton, I use my own domain with it. Works great!

purelymail.com

What’s PurelyMail like? They seem very cheap.

darcmage ,

Here are a couple of links to help you get a better idea of what purelymail is like:

I’m in the process of trying it out for a year before I switch over fully. Have yet to run into any issues but I’m not a heavy email user.

tenebrisnox ,
@tenebrisnox@feddit.uk avatar

Thanks. I’ll take a look. I’ve wanted to move away from gmail for a while now and this is cheap enough to try out.

MXroute personal tier is 10GB combined for unlimited domains and addresses (aliases) with IMAP/POP3. It’s $49 USD per year, or $99 USD for lifetime service.

gamer ,

Mxroute is great. It just works, and there’s no sneaky fees, upsells, or any other bullshit.

@lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats avatar

I’m with Migadu at the moment and I find it quite agreeable so far. There is a free, no credit card trial if you want to try it out. They’re Swiss, hosting in France, if you want your data on EU grounds and not the US for a better privacy.

mellitiger ,

Same here, works fine for me. The only hitch dor me was that sending from one of domains to another of mine counts towards outgoing mails. Changed the recipient afterwards, everything’s shiny now!

I use my own domain in iCloud since 6 month or so and it works with no issue. After setting up in iCloud you can turn on/off the „catch all“ option.

I use protonmail with their family plan, it’s not terribly priced when you consider it comes with calendar, vpn, and drive storage as well. The biggest annoyance is probably that you have to use their mobile apps due to the encryption and they are not the greatest, but it does encrypt everything which I find outweighs the forced use of just their app.

Moved from ProtonMail to iCloud+ last year since I was already paying for iCloud+. Proton’s lack of IMAP support on mobile devices is another reason I left. Their reason for that is privacy, which I understand. Privacy is important to me, but this is email we’re talking about. It will never be private considering the majority of people we email use Gmail, Outlook, etc.

All that being said, iCloud+ has been solid for email. No major issues at all on my end. The spam filter is quite strict for me, but I would consider that a good thing.

Echolot ,

Same here, iCloud+ works great for me, the domain setup was painless and you can even create multiple aliases & inboxes and share the domain with your iCloud Family if you have one.

TORFdot0 ,

I’ll vouch for iCloud+ too, and it does have a catch-all that you can set up

panicnow ,

Another same reply. There is a catch-all now but there wasn’t originally.

squib ,

I have used Fastmail for years now and it's always worked well. I use it with Mac/iOS. It has everything.

sirdavidxvi ,

+1 for Fastmail.

I’ve been using it for about 3 years. I’m on the Standard plan (middle tier). It’s $4.20/mo. per user when prepaying for 3 years and ranges up to $5.40/mo. for monthly billing.

Not sure if there’s a (practical) limit on domains or aliases, but I have 7 domains and a few aliases plus a wildcard. Includes 30GB of storage per user.

I like their integration with 1Password to generate email aliases on the fly. Great for signing up for trials, then deleting the alias if the trial doesn’t work out. Saves you getting spammed for life just because you wanted to check something out, and hides your domain to keep things on the down low.

Yes they have a catch all option, setup took a minute for me using my domain setup in Cloudflare, Apple’s documents/guided setup made it a breeze and it’s been rock solid.

Starfish ,

You can use posteo for 1€ a month. For more aliases look at mozmail (mozilla) or simplelogin. Or try runbox if you dont care about encryption at rest

Tillyface89 ,

I use forwarding service to send everything to my family’s standard gmail accounts. Everyone just gets a full subdomain and short address.

floofloof ,

This gets you your own domain and email address, but it probably isn’t what people in the self-hosting community have in mind.

I've used mailbox.org for the last few years. They are a privacy-focused provider out of Germany. They aren't restrictive on the app you use, like proton, and offer an integrated PGP-signing solution.
