I like clouflare for domain hosting. They have a lot of great tools that are included.

Hm, I will check them out then.
(The following is second-hand experience) You should google "DKIM and SPF" before you embark on this journey. The tl;dr of it is that senders of email can (and do) end up blacklisted based on the IP Address of their mail server. If you run your mail server on (say) a.b.c.xx and a known spammer happens to rent a vps from the same provider at a.b.c.yy, you both end up blacklisted. The spammer moves on, whereas your emails fail t make it through other folks' spam filters, and there won't be anything you can do about it.
Please do add a tag to your post as stated on the sublemmy sidebar! Thank you. :)
Thank you for the reminder. I need to be more diligent about following the rules of each instance and reading the sidebar.
Thx for mentioning infomaniak, I'm looking for alternatives to Mailbox.org as they had to increase their prices. I've tried self hosting but somehow it always has been a hassle, might be just me though. Also mailinabox wasn't around back then. I've got my domain at namecheap, they've got all the tools and a super cheap whoisguard service. Prices depend on the tld you're looking for, so you'll have to look it up.
Hm, I could have looked at namecheap too. I ended up going with Porkbun because of well... it is cute and lovely. Not a great reason to choose a service, but it came highly recommended.
May I suggest mailinabox.email for easy email administration. I've been using it for a long time and it manages the hard bits :).
Sorry I can't comment on Infomaniak I've never used them.
It has been the top recommended thing, so I will set it up. Hell, I might set them all up just to see what I like.
That's a great idea, please keep us posted with your adventure.
If I had any sense I would go through the trouble of documenting and BLOGGING what I do.
Except I already said that blogging killed the internet, and nobody needs more poorly written memoirs of their struggles getting something to work.
If I do something interesting or cool, I will let you know!
