What about email hosting? Gandi includes 5 email accounts with every registration, while most other registrars charge for each account. Email is a basic need.

- strictnein 8y agoNo. I hope they never offer email hosting. It's distracting, messy work that is already handled well by numerous other companies.
- technion 8y agoThe POP and IMAP mail services most registrars throw in are services Internet users would be better off without.
- Ayesh 8y agoIt is a basic need, but they are pretty distinct features. Registrars today sprinkle features such as email hosting, authoratice DNS hosting, email forwarding, SSL certificates (lol, I know), web site builders, etc for more profit. I really hope CloudFlare registrar will be a proper stripped down registrar. They offer you domains for the wholesale price, and it's too much to ask for email hosting.
- mariushn 8y agoOk, makes sense. I learned about https://opensrs.com/services/hosted-email/ https://opensrs.com/services/hosted-email/ from another thread.
- partiallypro 8y agoI wouldn't be surprised of they just offered you referrals to Google Apps and Outlook 365. Email is a mess, no one in their right mind would try to get into that business. I guarantee you there are thousands of email servers out there that some small providers want to kill off but can't because it's legacy and impossible to force customers off.
