Hi there,
I'm wanting to send Transactional Emails on my site when a user signs up (and triggers other reasons for the site to send an email). I also want to have personal emails set up for my employees, ie. [email protected], [email protected], etc.
I'm seeing options like Mailgun and Mandrill for transactional emails and Google Apps for mailbox that can use my domain. ([email protected])
When ever i used a common cpanel based server, i could easily set up a couple emails addresses, but I do not see this in forge. Ideally I'd rather not spend a bunch of money for a google business email so i can create a regular old email, like [email protected]
Does anyone have any recommendations on what email service to use?
Thanks!
Hi
I regularly use a cheap hosting company but then change the DNS so that they are not providing the webhosting, only the email and DNS. You can do similar with domain registration companies, eg Hover offer mail services for the domains you register with them (https://www.hover.com/email)
It does depend on how many mailboxes you need and how big they might need to be.
Yes, I could setup mail services on one of my VPS but this is a lot less hassle.
That sounds like a good idea. I'm currently using hover to manage my domain. I will look into this option. Thanks!
