    self host? it’s not expensive and generally will be cheaper then paying $12+ a month with other places

    For example I’m in Canada and while I do have my own dedicated ubuntu server I also have a web hosting plan with a local company here. I pay $50 a year for a decent sized server to host my portfolio and various other websites as well as unlimited IMAP and/or SMTP emails. I just went with that. the domain was included with the price of everything. So now I have personal email account, a client facing email account, a general inquiry email account, and a bullshit spam/account verification email.

      I heard in the self-hosting community in here that I shouldn’t host email if I don’t find a good provider I will take the last resort self-hosting, but I don’t know if port 25 can be opened in my ISP
