I want to do this, but I don't want the hassle of running my own email server. Can someone recommend a good email hosting service for custom domains? Personal email, so needs to be fairly cheap.
- nes350 9y agoFastMail - 5$ per month https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/ https://www.fastmail.com/pricing/
- smcl 9y agoI've got relatively simple requirements but I found FastMail to be really good
- morganvachon 9y agoThey are hands down the best email provider I've used. I moved from Gmail to them and the speed, support, and reliability is head and shoulders above even the paid Google service.
- caf 9y agoFastMail has been great for me, too. They'll host your DNS as well if you want.
- type0 9y agoCan you add your own TLS cert for your domain with them?
- caf 9y agoThey don't really need a TLS cert for your domain - they don't host your website; the MX record in your domain just points at a host in one of their domains (for which they have the TLS certificate); and the 'mail.yourdomain' address just redirects to https://www.fastmail.com https://www.fastmail.com.
- nibstwo 9y agoSetup your custom domain email to work with Zoho Mail for free. Then use a free Gmail inbox to add that email via Pop3. Then you can use a free custom domain email for sending/receiving with Gmail as your email client. Bam.
- jbob2000 9y agoI've heard FastMail is good, but i've not used it myself.
- zokier 9y agoBoth Gmail and Outlook are available for custom domain at about $50/year, which I guess is not prohibitive for most HNers.
- jmull 9y agoI have gmail handling my email for a custom domain for free. You sign up with Google and follow a process they have, which involves setting some MX records and CNAME records on your custom domain to point to google's hosts. This was free within some limits... I guess I assume it still is? (I set this up years ago. Google's never asked me for money for it.) I don't remember what the limits are. I and my family never hit them. I guess there are limits on the number of accounts and storage space. I suppose since it's free it's a matter of time before they stop doing this, but so far so good.
- krallja 9y agoGoogle Apps For Your Domain / G Suite is no longer free for new accounts.
- voltagex_ 9y agoYep - I somehow managed to move my account from free to paid (~$5.50AUD/month). I'd love to cancel it, but Google offer no migration for Play Store apps - so I'd have to re-buy everything.
- matheweis 9y agoDon't let your account go - Google grandfathered in people like you and me who already had it, but they aren't allowing any new free registrations.
- sedachv 9y agoYandex has free email for domains: https://domain.yandex.ru/ https://domain.yandex.ru/
- ConfucianNardin 9y agoIn English: https://domain.yandex.com/ https://domain.yandex.com/.
- dboreham 9y agoPretty much any of the commercial email hosting providers: Rackspace, Google, Microsoft, FastMail, LuxSci and may more.
