hello,
as always: imho (!)
idk:
as a business, if the "main focus" of your business is related to email =?> self-host.
but if this not your core business: why in the world would you even think about self-hosting!?
pay someone "as a service" / for your "peace of mind" and be done with that.
as a private person:
if you are interested in learning a lot about the internet and especially e-mail: do self-host ;)
if not: pay someone a few bucks a month and do stuff that matters to you ;)
just my 0.02€
- graemep 7mo agoFor a business, another option is to have your own server but pay someone to manage it rather than just entirely outsource it.
- t312227 7mo agoyes ... i thought this is included in the expression "as a service" :) it doesn't matter how you slice & dice it, the "service" is to have someone - be it business or be it a person - who is responsible for running this service ... you get an SLA and according to the conditions you are able to work with the entity which provides the service ...
- graemep 7mo agoIf the person you pay is an employee you do not get the external guarantee, nor would you if you pay someone to maintain a server that is yours. The big email providers do not really provide a worthwhile SLA to most customers AFAIK. Do they cover the cost of business interruption if your business is heavily dependent on email, for example?
