I recently started looking into hosting my own email, and the suggestions I got were very encouraging, with a lot of easy solutions paired with some unavoidable gotchas.

It is has become apparent that for me to do this right, I need my own domain name, maybe a VPS or host.

I was about to purchase from Infomaniak, which also had an email solution I liked, but one the prices in euro was throwing me off and two it defeats the purpose of controlling and running my own internet services.

So, I will skip the email hosting and give a try at running my own.

Still, is Infomaniak a good buy? I am going crazy thinking up a good name, and settles on the extension me since it will be a personal thing, but not use my real name since I am going to avoid that shit until I really need to.

Any help would be welcome. Thank you.

UPDATE: I bought a domain name off of Porkbun, which was surprisingly pleasant. I am a sucker for cute guided experiences.

    It has been the top recommended thing, so I will set it up. Hell, I might set them all up just to see what I like.

        If I had any sense I would go through the trouble of documenting and BLOGGING what I do.

        Except I already said that blogging killed the internet, and nobody needs more poorly written memoirs of their struggles getting something to work.

        If I do something interesting or cool, I will let you know!
