E-Mail Hosting?

Posted by Cliff on from the finding-things-your-ISP-won't-provide dept.

nmx asks: "Apparently my cable modem provider decided that I can't run my Webserver and mailserver anymore from my cable connection. Webhosting services are easy enough to find; I can just change the DNS to point my domain name to any of several free services. But what about the mailserver? I have several addresses @ my domain (most of which get forwarded to my main account). I don't want to (and can't afford to) lose those addresses; are there any (free or otherwise) services that can help me out?"

  1. Everyone.net by jfrisby · · Score: 3

    Everyone.net (disclosure: my employer) provides free web based e-mail, branded to how your site looks and to your domain. You can however just sign up, point the MX to us, and then set up forwarding accounts to alternative e-mail addresses...

    The end result is that you'll get your "me@foo.com" e-mails sent to "me@suckycablemodemprovider.com"...

  2. even cheap web hosts provide mail hosting by defective · · Score: 3

    Many low cost web hosts provide email hosting as part of their service. My web development company often reccomends Impulse Internet Services

    For $10 a month (paid anually), they'll host your website and email.

    There's many more out there just like these guys, you can try the builder.com directory of hosts.

    BTW, if you sign up with Impulse, tell them that Katz & Mouse sent you their way ;)
