Title: email
Post by: Phil.8 on February 23, 2016, 08:55:32 AM: I am wanting to move my email away from spying google and was wondering if techie types could tell me if the best way to do this and keep my email in the future is to registrar a domain, which I already have, krahl.space, and get it hosted somewhere like zoho for free, or fastmail, paid .

Or is it easier to just get an email address with somewhere secure like zoho or fastmail and risk losing my email address one day if they close down or I move providers.

But yeah, if you have a domain name, the package will often include an email account.

Self hosted solution if you really know what you are doing and will need to pay a bit if you want a decent hosting. Be prepared for spamfest. you will need your own - likely paid - spam solution.

If you can solve it advise me too.

Sorry for me brevity. On mobile ☺
