Re: Web + email hosting recommendations

[Chris Humphries <chris%sogubsys.com@localhost>]

I use Vultr.com with custom iso support for NetBSD, with the $5/month
plan. Rock solid and have ipv4 and ipv6 working great (including
reverse DNS).

For mail, I self-host though there are many mail vendors that may fit
the bill. If you're looking for everything bundled you may be
searching for a needle in a haystack of questionable stability.

Check out https://www.privacytools.io/ for privacy related vendors
https://www.privacytools.io/providers/email/ for email providers
specifically.

Vultr is a good deal and their support is great, should you need it. I
only had to use it once to reset my 2FA after I messed up.

You'll probably not need vendor provided NetBSD support, honestly.

Good luck!
Chris
