The risk is not that they shut down, the risk is that you lose your hosting account.
It happens all of the time.
Downloading your mailbox is trivial, comparing it to self-hosting is not accurate. (I do both.)
- YPPH 2y agoWhy would I lose access to my Fastmail account? That risk is a remote one. I have 2FA, they take backups and provide support, and they are a reliable company (at least, not a one-person operation).
