I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

    Yeah thats... Pretty much it for me.

    Unless we want to include donations? But that doesnt fit the word "subscription" IMO.

    Which email host do you use? I can't decide which one to go for. I want something like migadu but they seem a bit scary with their message limits. The other option I have in mind is purelymail but I don't know if I trust them yet

    Not who you replied ti, but I've been on purelymail for about a year and a half. No complaints. $10.yr is great, and their billing statements claim I could be around $3/year if I switched to their advanced billing. I have nagging concern that they're hosted on AWS, and if your goal is to completely free yourself of US tech giants, then purelymail won't.

    Thanks for the input! Yeah, I haven't heard of any bad experience with them. Maybe I just need to take the leap of faith. Although the ownership change recently was a bit concerning but it seems like the operation quality hasn't reduced

    I checked it out, looks like they don't support catch all and have an artifical limitation on "aliases"

    For me, I think I would like to have catch all working without paying too much

    I'm pretty sure they do support catch all, because that's what I have. Or at least they used to and I'm grandfathered in.

    looked it up, seems like a quick setting:

    https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9412/2214/how-to-set-up-catchall-in-namecheap-private-email/

    I'm pretty sure I have the cheapest, one email address option with catch-all. I didn't set up any aliases.
