one thing i have struggled out with lately is email creation and follow up with all these emails coming from Instagram and Facebook for activation and so.
i discovered if you have a paid Gsuite plan (which i have) you can create up to 30 email aliases for your primary domain, the cost of the Gsuite service is really cheap (5$ per month) and i think its much more trusted than the free aliases email providers out there.
this method is great if you are willing to keep your accounts growing, also note that adding of a new user in the Gsuite will add extra 5$ on your spendings
If you have GSuite (or any domain with a working mail server, for that matter), just set up a catchall address & you can have unlimited email addresses.
Don’t you run the risk of guilt by association? Meaning if all your email addresses come from the same domain and one is attached to a banned account, will all other accounts with that same-domain email address be at risk as well?
Well, sure. Anything is possible. I’ve never had any problems, though - mainly because I spread the risk. I’ve had plenty of individual accounts banned from whatever service, but never an entire domain.
I’ve got 12 of the .88 domains from Namecheap that I use only for email. $5/month Hostgator account to host them. I spread my registrations across the domains.
I see. And I’m sure it’s easy to do a catchall email address for all the dozens of email addresses per domain, right? How many domains can you host under the hostgator $5 plan?
Yes, from your cPanel go to the “Mail” section & then “Default Address”. Forward all unrouted mail to whatever email address you’d like to use - erdubya@gmail.com, for instance. BTW, this is true for most any host, not just Hostgator… at least the ones that offer a cPanel to manage your domain.
The addon domains are created as sub-directories of your primary domain & share the same resources as your primary domain. I wouldn’t dream of hosting production sites like this, but for email it’s perfectly fine.
BTW, I’m not pushing hostgator, but they were the cheapest I found at the time. Namecheap also offers unlimited addon domains. I’m pretty sure GoDaddy does not.
In that case, you could rule the world! Just set up a sendmail server - or whatever mail server ubuntu uses - update your MX & go to town!
I’m still using the old legacy free version of Google Apps for business, which did support a catchall address. I’m not sure if they’ve removed that in the new G Suite?
What is the difference between good email account such as GMail and cheap email accounts such as Rediffmail??? Does Gmail account raise less red flag compared to Rediffmail??
