Softlayer and Linode for hosting.
Rackspace Mail for mail.
Why not run your own mail server? Outbound deliverability is a pain. You can't just install an SMTP server package and go -- you need to think about DomainKeys, SPF, DKIM, Sender-ID, monitoring realtime blacklists for your IP, etc. That's a whole job unto itself and is worth paying a couple bucks for someone else to do it.
- psychotik 15y agoWhy not Google Apps for email, or SES for outbound?
- dangrossman 15y agoRackspace is better (SLA-guaranteed reliability and 24x7x365 phone support), and cheaper ($2 per mailbox, no usage based fee).
- taa 15y agoThere is an option for SLA with a paid Google Apps account. Last I checked it was $50/year, but comes with much larger inbox (25G at Google vs. 10G max at Rackspace). Also better integration and push notifications on mobile for Google, if you care about that.
