My thought is that I've been in that world in the past, and it's generally a support nightmare. I don't know what your business/product is overall, but email hosting is such a cutthroat commodity item, I can't imagine why any startup would want to take on the overhead for small incremental revenue.
- iamdave 18y agoOn the topic of support, almost our entire model is built around support since we write software for local companies, so it would fit in very well with everything right now.
- brk 18y agoAgain, not knowing your whole business model. But, supporting software you created is much different than supporting all the headaches/overhead of a mail server. If you want to do this, I would look at a formal resale agreement with a place like Mailstreet (not I heartily do NOT recommend them, but their name popped (haha, get it, popped...) into my head as an example). Use the benefit of THEIR support department and setup instructions when possible. You could also run your own mail server (what I do/did), then you have full control of uptime/downtime, version upgrades, etc. But still, I don't think this alone is much of a business you want to be in.
