- john_the_writer 2y agoSadly ISP's won't support this without an arm and leg. Small businesses can jump onto Cloud, but no way they can self host. Even getting a email provider that gets past spam is really hard.

There is a middle ground where they can choose one of the many providers of hosted computing (like Hetzner). They can save a significant amount of money. > Even getting a email provider that gets past spam is really hard Mail can easily be solved by using a third party provider like Postmark, instead of using SNS or whatever service your cloud provides. I have experience with both, and there was not much difference in the time I spent to integrate them. It's also much easier to test from your local machine compared to cloud services.
