Comment on US Email Providers - Other then Google, MS, Apple, ...
Zier@fedia.io 3 months agoI never use webmail so I can't answer.
There is a spam filter but I have not had to use it since it changed. It's located in the cPanel, not email. I never get spam, ever.
I believe that SPF and DKIM are there in cPanel, you can search that in the knowledgebase where the FAQ is.
Pretty sure the the cal/webDAV are there, I don't ever use those.
I personally prefer POP3 because IMAP always polls your devices if the client is open and that can drain resources and batteries. Plus I only have certain email address on certain devices. That's just me.
I have never had problems using Namecheap for email. It's been 11 years of excellent service. Also their customer service is speedy and smart. They have a pretty good reputation.
I had Hostgator for a few years before they were bought by EIG which is a shady craphole. Also stay away from GoDaddy.
I have over time looked into other web hosts, but nothing compared to what I was getting for the price or my needs. I also set up a family member because their ISP had such garbage email service.
I find that paying for my email and using my own domains are much better because I don't have to be subjected to ads or data harvesting. Plus I get whatever email address I want.

Thanks so much.
I listen to Security Now. Steve always groans when GoDaddy and Network Associated come up.
On another topic. Have you ever looked at Namecheap VPS service? For that I am with Linode but they were bought by Akami. Nothing has really changed yet. Actually maybe some more options but I worry about the enshitifacation phase that may come. Hoping for the best but thinking of options.

Your welcome.
I used to use grc.com when I was a windows user, but Kubuntu is my home now. Love Steve, very talented.
I'm not a VPS person so I have no experience with their offering. It's always good to look at options even if you are not planning to transition to another product. You never know when it will all break. And it's nice to see what the marketplace is offering. Tech changes so fast anyway.
