What are people using these days for to host domain and emails?

September 10th, 2013

I know gmail was popular when it allows you to host your domain for free and gave you up to 10 email accounts. I guess google has stopped it.

What are the good options to host your own domain and get free email accounts that support imap or pop3?

Thanks,

Zoho mail is the only "good" free email hosting I've found.

In the paid category, FastMail is popular, Rackspace has a $2/person service that has gotten good reviews. Brad's suggestion of Office365 is great as well.

I use Google Apps for business. Ends up being $5 per user account per month, at this time. -Danny

I really like iwantmyname.com for domain name registration. They provide a great service, no up-sell, and have quite a few of direct add-ons for integrating. They also provide web forwarding, which makes it easy to redirect to any number of other services directly, like a landing page, blog, etc.

For email I'd second Zoho. It's not exactly gmail, but it's one of the few options that supports custom domains on their free tier.

For dns I use amazon route53. Really reliable and very efficient. For domain registration I like pairnic, good service no ads and private domains come as standard, been with them for years and can't fault them. For hosting ill either build a vm, use amazon s3 for static site hosting or heroku.

Namecheap.com offers free email forwarding when you use their free DNS hosting service. http://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/546

Using that, you can create up to 100 email forwards to wherever the person wants the emails to go (gmail, aol, etc.). Gmail makes it easy, and supports adding the external email as an alias so outgoing emails get send as the domain email address: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en

This is definitely the "bootstrap" phase tech. Once you get more people, going with a paid solution has too many advantages compared to the "el-cheapo" version.

you didn't mention what you want to do with the email. you may want to consider outside US mail servers as the government has been snooping around... not saying outside is any more safer.

For domains, I use IWantMyName ( http://iwantmyname.com ). I transferred 14 domains of mine from GoDaddy to IWantMyName about 6 months ago due to terrible service. For hosting, I, exclusively, use Media Temple ( http://mediatemple.net ) ... they're awesome. For emails, I use both Google Apps and Outlook.com (the new one), and as much as I tend to dislike Microsoft products, I would actually say that I love Outlook.com more than Gmail. Also, Outlook.com is actually free, but I think it depends on the amount of users.

Here are some of our recommendations -- used with various clients:

1. Email:

- There are only two viable options IMHO: Google Apps or Microsoft Office 365. Used a bunch of other tools around, but those were riddled with various issues...

- Zoho Mail -- if you really need a free option...

2. DNS (nameservers):

- Amazon Route 53 is the best option by far, no brainer choice if you are planning to use AWS in any form...

- DNSMadeEasy.com could be a good alternative...

3. Registrar:

- name.com

- badger.com

- namescheap.com

4. Hosting:

There are tons and tons of hosting companies out there, but shared hosting usually has some inherent performance and reliability issues. Nowadays it is much easier to just open the tiny AWS instance and run your site there. Depending on what you need to run there. If you have a blog or WordPress site, consider Wordpress.com, especially if you might expect some peak traffic...
