I recently started looking into hosting my own email, and the suggestions I got were very encouraging, with a lot of easy solutions paired with some unavoidable gotchas.

It is has become apparent that for me to do this right, I need my own domain name, maybe a VPS or host.

I was about to purchase from Infomaniak, which also had an email solution I liked, but one the prices in euro was throwing me off and two it defeats the purpose of controlling and running my own internet services.

So, I will skip the email hosting and give a try at running my own.

Still, is Infomaniak a good buy? I am going crazy thinking up a good name, and settles on the extension me since it will be a personal thing, but not use my real name since I am going to avoid that shit until I really need to.

Any help would be welcome. Thank you.

UPDATE: I bought a domain name off of Porkbun, which was surprisingly pleasant. I am a sucker for cute guided experiences.

    Yeah, I got a domain name but I will use it to make a fun website. It comes with email, but I may just use a hosting service. I still want to try it out, but I also don’t want to make it my hobby.

    Anyways, paying for email is fine, I pay for so much other crap that is not nearly as important as email.
