          10-20 a year for a domain name.

          dynamic dns from freedns is free

          Email server is a free laptop with a broken screen

          I set it up with dockermail server in an afternoon. They have good docs, it was easy.

            The thing keeping me from self hosted email is despite working in the tech field for 8 years, I still can’t seem to wrap my head around SSL certs, especially trying to use one from Let’s Encrypt. I don’t know why.

        I have been thinking about it but I wasn’t sure if it would be secure enough. But I will look into it. I have my own domain through a host with a site that has email but it’s for a business I am trying to get going so I don’t want to use that for personal shit.

        I will do some research about it. I think I have the skills to set it up I just don’t know how to keep it secured.

        Do you run it on a machine at home or do you host it with a provider?

          Runs on laptop with broken screen.

          The software for email server is multiple decades old, I don’t worry about it. Also email isn’t really secure. If you have real secrets, you need to use end to end encryption on top.
