Title: Need a good registrar with POP & Forwarding email support Post by: Melbustus on September 12, 2012, 10:51:38 PM I use Rackspace Cloud Sites for hosting my LAMP stack sites, but my small clients often need some basic/cheap email services too, which Rackspace doesn't affordably offer. I currently use ICDsoft.com for my smaller clients, but I'm looking to migrate everybody over to Rackspace eventually. I'm fine doing my domain-reg and email stuff somewhere besides Rackspace.
Specifically, I'd like domain-reg plus email forwarding for under $15/yr, with optional POP/IMAP email accounts for a reasonable price; maybe around $1/yr for each mailbox... Best I can find: -- Namecheap.com will register .com domains for $10.69 with unlimited email forwarding, but it appears their actual POP email accounts cost $3/yr *each*. -- eNom.com registers .com domains for $13.95, and offers 10 POP email accounts for $12.95/yr. BUT - they don't appear to offer email forwarding. Anybody know of something that offers the reasonable domain-reg price, with unlimited email address forwarding, and full POP accounts for about $1/yr each or better?

google apps for email. Title: Re: Need a good registrar with POP & Forwarding email support Post by: Melbustus on September 13, 2012, 04:17:23 AM hover.com for registration. google apps for email. Google apps is $50/yr PER USER. Don't get me wrong - Google Apps is a great choice for small businesses that need a cohesive web-based company-wide business-apps suite. But I'm talking tiny clients. Sole-proprietors who just have a largely brochure-ware web-presence and want a handful of email addresses. $50/yr per address is far too much for them. This can and should be under $25/yr for *all* of their domain and email needs. After emailing with eNom support, it looks like they're my best option. Turns out they *do* offer free email forwarding with domain-reg, so that combined with their 10 full POP addresses for $13/yr gets me in the ballpark.

Just checked out their pricing page. I've been using Google Apps at companies with >20 people since the service came out, and apparently somehow I missed the introduction of that free tier! This is great. Thanks for the heads-up! |
