Ask HN: Email hosting with custom domain support?

5 points by kevindong ↗ HN
Requirements:

1) custom domain support

2) wildcard support (i.e. emails sent to an invalid email address will get put into a specified inbox)

3) only 1 user inbox is required; more would be nice

4) support for anti-spam/email verification technologies (i.e. DKIM, SPF, etc.)

5) not self hosted

6) excellent uptime

Does not matter if it's paid, as long as the paid product is reasonably priced.

I'm currently using Zoho (free product) which, while meeting all the requirements defined above, isn't great. It's just not bad either. I'm looking to see what HN likes.

Fastmail is awesome and fulfils all of your criteria I believe.

I just saw a Show HN post about Migadu.com and signed up. I've been very happy.

Pricing is excellent. They let you add unlimited domains, mailboxes, aliases, etc. The only discerning difference between plans is the number of outgoing messages every day across your entire plan.

I've been testing migadu[0] since a ShowHN about it a few weeks ago. So far the service is awesome! It maches all of your criteria, plus, for a flat fee (it depends on outbound emails/day actually), you get:

* unlimited domains, mailboxes, storage space

* a very well-thought and honest service and UX ( I encourage you to read their "benefits" and "drawbacks" pages)

* a very responsive and helpful customer support

* hosting in a privacy minded country

FastMail does not offer any type of phone support.

I use Office365 "Business essentials" for wormhole.network

It was surprisingly cheap and it includes other stuff like 1TB OneDrive and OWA is quite cool (even though I use Outlook or Mail, depending if I'm on my main computer or not).

I have only one inbox, but a few aliases, including some for a second custom domain. As far as I can tell I haven't been charged extra apart from what they advertise here: https://products.office.com/en-gb/business/office-365-busine...

I've used Google Apps (G Suite) for hosting kje.ca email for a long time and it's great. I'm luckily grandfathered under the free plan but I'd pay $5 a month for the service if I had to.
