  Despite the lack of content we should mention peertube any time possible to increase knowledge of it, if nothing else

  Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?

    Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don’t really recommend it.

    Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.

      I wasn’t self hosting. I was just talking about your own domain, which caused me serious problems when flagged for spam.

        That’s not an issue with a custom domain name, but one of the other parts you run into, SPF and DKIM dns settings being correct and the reputation of whatever SMTP server’s ip address is. No one spams based just on random domain names, or every business would freak out. You can also use your own domain on Google, Microsoft, or Apples ecosystems, not that you need to, there are plenty of providers that will host your email. I like runbox.

    No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from

    I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain

      I stopped doing it because I kept getting rejections from Microsoft from my property manager and some other important stuff. Drove me nuts.

    Didn’t try to host a domain myself yet, but having it set up with Proton has given me zero problems thus far.

  Your own domain, but you’re safer not hosting your own email servers in general. Just wanted to be clear for anyone reading this. If your mail server is down you don’t get mail 🫠

  I ended up using a service that isn’t Google for that with my own domain

    And soft lock yourself… log in to the DNS portal you need 2FA from your email… while your email is having DNS issues lol

  Nebula is an option for some content creators but it is subscription based.

  • edgarde@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Wish more creators would move to Nebula. I joined when Practical Engineering recommended.

    I haven’t quite figured out how to use PeerTube yet.

  My own domain?!? Any suggestions??

  source

  • AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Whatever name fits your fancy. Go with solid registrars like Namecheap or cloudflare.

    Once you get your domain, you can use most any email provider to handle mail for that domain. Fastmail is really good. Or proton if you want the encryption.

      Gotta also recommended porkbun for a registrar, had a great experience with then.

      source

      • Jason2357@lemmy.ca ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.

      That’s pretty much my setup, it is not super hard to get working, it’s basically just copying and pasting the magic numbers they give you

    Get something on .com or .net. Vanity tlds will piss off reputation services. And make sure you set up spf/dkim

    source

    • Jason2357@lemmy.ca ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Other reason is the renew fees for special tlds are so unpredictable. Com is surprisingly cheap to renew.

  set up your own domain for email hosting

  cannot recommend this enough!

  1. register your domain through something like porkbun
  2. get an account with someone like mxroute.com (i am a fan, but not an affiliate or anything)
  3. enjoy pain-free email for the rest of your life
