I self host pretty much everything, but one of the services I find makes more sense to not self host is an email server.

I’ve got a few domains I’d like to have emails for, and usually I’d go for Tutanota or protonmail. But in this instance I’m looking for something dirt cheap. These domains are for a hobby club so I’m much less concerned with privacy like I usually would be. Anybody got any recommendations?

So far namecheap seems like my best option for under $8/month. They would bundle with my domain registration and I’m assuming having both on the same service would make things pretty seamless to set up.

Not crazy concerned with privacy for these particular accounts. Namecheap or similar is reputable enough.

That's my setup. I like selfhosting, but leave email to other services. I got tired of being on blacklists.

That said, namecheap email servers are still on blacklists. I've locked horns with tech support a couple times because legit email gets dropped. Unless you pay for a vps or something more expensive, you're thrown in with the spam and scum class.

It works for the most part for my needs.

    I emailed Microsoft to get my domain removed from their blacklist and it worked within 48 hours. Aslong as my domain has it's correct security settings I no longer go to spam. Gmail didn't seem to care as much.
