I'd say its time to replace the regular gmail addresses as well. Note to self: get a cracking on the hosting stuff!

There is some free option, but you cannot use your own personal domain name anymore and cannot do user management anymore.

Re: [GTALUG] Google Gsuite Legacy domain replacement
He mentioned he has four users, hence the price. I'm going to give a vote for Fastmail. It's a stellar service and company that has been in the business of providing good email for 20 something years. Pricing wise it's still $5USD/month or $50USD/year per user for reasonable size mailbox and custom domains. Fastmail allows you to create aliases, so for kids I just have aliases that lead to me. These are at no cost. One of the considerations in choosing a mail provider in 2022 is email deliverability, since this is mostly not a technical parameter but the sometimes arbitrary decision of a sysop at the receiving provider's end. On this front Fastmail has also been problem free for me (I have DKIM and SPF records set). > On Apr 13, 2022, at 14:22, Kevin Cozens via talk wrote: > > I think that must be a typo.

I think that must be a typo. Assuming with tax it isn't more than $10/month that is only $120 per year, not $420. The price I've seen is $6/month, though currently reduced to $3. Of course those are U.S. dollars. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
