Also. Vps $5 / month is $60 per year. So yes go ahead and run your own but pay _more_ than my $50 per year service that is handled for you.

- detaro 7y agoLet's just say that you're undercutting your message of "You can trust me with your email and personal data" too, both in this reaction and through design. Luckily, the paid e-mail provider space today isn't as deserted as it seemed a few years ago, so I'll ask about that instead: Why would I go with you instead of a reputable competitor in the same price range? (I pay about the same for e-mail currently)
- jamescampbell 7y agoThanks for the response and that is definitely a fair question. I removed the lol and dude-o, apologies, I shouldn’t be rude to potential customers and naysayers alike. I am going to do a bit of research and get back to you. At the end of the day, I feel like people want to support indie vs larger corps. Call it the middle finger to the man effect. I don't want that to be the sole reason. Id like to think you like the purple stylish N as well. ;) Seriously will get back to you in a bit. Checking on security things that I believe are not as robust in Fastmail and others. I have a warrant canary up too, not linked yet. But dont want my market to be criminals either so... hmm.
- jolmg 7y agoA VPS is far more valuable than an email account. Compared to an email account, there are a lot more things you can do with a box in the internet you have root access to. That value difference is more than $10/year. There are reasons to pay an email provider $50/year, but I don't think being $10 cheaper than a VPS is one of them. You have to provide something beyond what one can get with a VPS.
