It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

What's a good email provider? (sh.itjust.works)

Thinking of starting media creation, want to have an email address dedicated to that purpose. Don't want to go with Gmail as I'd like to phase Google out of my life, amd Protonmail seems i correct for this because it largely wouldn't be encrypted mail.

Your domain provider might have a basic service for low cost.

You can get a low tier google workspace.

Zoho exists.

You can get an exchange p1 license.

You can buy your own Synology and run an email server off it if your ISP allows.

I use google workspace but it’s from when they had a free service. If I needed to switch today I’d go with Exchange online, or I’d find a cheap Colo near me and put a Synology pair in it.

How much does this cost you, and are there any drawbacks?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Maybe $20/year for the domain and some addl services.

Exchange online for a single user is $48/year according to their website.

Knowing I can move my domain whenever I want is worth something.
