Why should I post someone else for DNS records if namecheap is handling it just fine for my use case?

Nope. I’m not sure if I should be happy that I’m not the only one.

I prefer to be called daddy. Godaddy

I like running my email server, because I justify it with my use cases.

If you like to spend time conversing with support about why your IP is on a blacklist, or why your email is being sent to spam (or outright rejected - I’m looking at you Microsoft), and then trying to increase your domain and IP reputations, be my guest.

Otherwise, a service is generally best

I mean, I use namecheap. I’m thinking about throwing one of my domains onto cloudfare just in case.

If you don’t like namecheap, some people have been suggesting porkbun or something.

It’s important if you’re building a brand, or if you’re dumb like me and run your own email server

I’ve lost my domain too. It took me two years to get it back. Hopefully it won’t be squatted for long

Time to register that domain before OP gets it…

Have you tried a key hook and a safe?

Sorry. Couldn’t help myself

As someone who is once again trying to setup an email server, it’s more work than it’s worth for like 99% of people
