Dropbox and "webhosting", what about email?

[Trepidati0n]

I know I can easily point my domain to dropbox and have them host it for a fraction (e.g. zero) of the cost. However, how would I hand email then?

Use email provided by your registrar, or a 3rd party service like google apps. outlook.com is free (google apps isnt) and lets you use your own domain for email.

Do you mean to use your own domain name for the email? I think yahoo provides such services.

Outlook.com doesn't do the free hosted email anymore, They're pointing everyone to O365. (Just had to move 3 domains...) You can get their "kiosk" email for $2/month I think.

Relying on the Wall Street tech companies for mail hosting for a domain name is not something I would recommend. A registrar's mail hosting too is often less than excellent. There's no reason to do any of that when better independent mail hosts are so easily available and so inexpensive. Check out MXroute and Rollernet for example.

go back in time and sign up for google apps when it was free
