I don’t need all the stuff they offer.
I ONLY need email@mydomain.blah…
Anything out there thats free or self hosted just for this.
Porkbun is pretty decent but actually is 25 USD a year, and so same as a single Google workspace account.
Or self host email with a basic web email gui.
I feel most people agree that the one thing that is too much hassle to actually selfhost if you’re not really into it is hosting your on own mail, so if you’re up for it there are a lot if privacy respecting services out there that give you email (and calender, contacts, filesymc etc) for not too much money with your own domain. I’d probably have a look at Tuta or Mailbox.org first.
if you’re willing to pay, just get an email through microsoft, you’ll spend a lot of time and headache making a selfhosted email server work the right way consistently, it’s not a good choice for business/money making if that’s what this is for.
Just to be clear, Google workspace does not offer a domain. What you want is a domain name and a hosted mail service.
If you would use Google workspace you would need that + the domain name.
So the pork bun email would be quite decent for 25 a year if it includes a domain name
Get a cheap domain with hosted email from ionos.
