Build custom, interactive web elements and lively animations to keep an eye on your infrastructure

After self hosting my mail server at home on a Raspberry Pi, I frequently encountered internet stability issues. Sometimes, my fiber connection would get damaged due to nearby construction work, and other times, my ISP would schedule maintenance, causing outages that lasted for an hour or more.

These incidents made me realize that hosting my email server at home was risky, I could lose important emails if my internet went down. As a result, I started looking for alternative options like Mailfence, Mailbox and Fastmail. However, these services either offered only a free trial or limited storage (around 1GB), whereas I wanted a affordable and simple mail service with a decent amount of storage. And by default, domain registrars do not provide email services. If they do, it is usually a paid feature.
