Looking for E-Mail hosting as opposed to web hosting, recommendations wanted
I am having trouble with my E-Mail at the moment. Since the move from 'Cloud' hosting to their cPanel services my E-Mail at TsoHost hasn't run very well. So I'm wondering if I might move my two, basically E-Mail only, domains away from TsoHost. There's basically four users with lots of forwarding and other such things. I need to host two domains, have the ability to create IMAP/POP3 mailboxes, multiple forwarding, etc. So it's not *big* but does need to be flexible (and cheap!). Does anyone have any recommendations? -- Chris Green

I moved mine to Gmail, on what’s now called GSuite. You need one subscription per domain, and it’s about a tenner a month. Ben

Do they host the domains as well? Plus 'a tenner a month' would be as much as I pay TsoHost for hosting a dozen or so domains and websites, is that 'a tenner a month' per domain? -- Chris Green

They can do, though I just point my MX records to Google.

Ah. Ben
I'm enjoying fastmail at the moment for my custom domain email hosting needs (shout if you'd like a referral code for 10% off your first year) - on the two occasions I've needed support, they've been fab. It's a long story, but I'm also using forwardemail.net for miscellaneous email forwarding, and informal distribution lists. Both are basic, easy to setup and 2 years in... "it just works" I did try pobox.com (from fastmail) to setup something for a charity I'm involved in, but for some reason, at that time, they were taking a couple of days to get back to me on queries, so time started dragging on, and we did everything basic we needed via forwardmail.net (setup in about 3 minutes flat). Good luck! John On Thu, 24 Nov 2022 at 09:41, Ben Darthjoy <ben.darthjoy@gmail.com> wrote:

It's been Google Workspace for a couple of years now, you can add up to 600 domains into 1 workspace but the pricing starts at about a fiver per user each month which is pretty expensive for just hosting a few domains given what Chris needs. I'd look at going with someone like mythic as Jenny suggested as it will be cheaper/simpler for this use case, probably £60 a year+domain costs. Adam --
I've moved my various emails recently from local server to mythic beasts. Many options available...ssh access, simple email hosting, web hosting. Can't think of cost off the top of my head, but not expensive. Jenny On Wed, 23 Nov 2022, 20:24 Chris Green, <cl@isbd.net> wrote:

As a totally tech free person, I use fasthosts for a couple of quid a month for my personal email address. AndyW
