Figure I'd ask here, but I'm looking to set something up for email in the future, I'm looking into custom domains so that if something happens with one email account, then I have more security in mind to pick up from there as opposed to being screwed.

I know that fully self hosting email full stop is usually not recommended, so I'm up for any advice anyone has on that end.

@WandererLagomorph799 There are many providers who allow you to bring your own domain. The ones I know of are Disroot, mailbox.org and skiff.com. The main advantage of using your own domain is also that if you ever want to change your email provider, you can do so without changing your email address. So even if you choose the wrong provider at first, it's not really a problem.

Disroot support never responded to my request, even though I supported them monthly so I looked elsewhere. No complaints with mailbox.org
