Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? (lemmy.world)

I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc... But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting.. maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why...

What would you suggest?

I've been using my own domain pointed at Inbox.eu. They're based in the EU and I haven't had any problems, I pay for 2 users, the price is something like 12€ per user per year, so it's cheap enough for me.

Do you have alias limit per user per domain?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's one domain per mailbox with 5 aliases per mailbox.

Of course :-)

I think the main thing here is to use your own domain, which means you can point it at whatever host you want, whenever you want. Inbox.eu has worked well for me, it’s simple but also cheap and from the EU :-)
