Cheap Custom Domain Email Service w/ Good IP Address Reputation for Day-to-day Emails (alien.top)

I'm in the market for an email service for my custom domain name. I only need one account. Below are my requirements. Any good suggestions?

  • Cheap: Zoho, MXroute, and NameCheap seems to fit the bill.
  • Good IP Repuation: I'm honestly not sure how to check this out if I don't even know the shared IP addresses that the service uses. I imagine Google Workspace would be perfect but it's too expensive.

Check out https://forwardemail.net/. It's $3 a month for their enhanced subscription that should have everything you want. I've had a great experience with them so far. One month, they even randomly gave me some months for free, and they have been consistently adding new features. The documentation is also really good. I've been with them a year or two now.

You're asking r/selfhosted where to not selfhost something.

If anything should get an exemption, it should be email hosting. Unless it's purely for educational purposes, self hosting email is just a waste of time and effort.

lol yeah I was debating posting to /selfhosted but I couldn't find a more applicable subreddit. In my defense, email is the only service that's not self-hosted on my domains.
