The webmail is either Roundcube or SOGo, and both are quite adequate for basic use. The majority of my domains are hosted with Gandi, and I have no complaints with them. |

I see Gandi had a major service disruption recently with email. Is everything back to normal? Have they been reliable overall? No 2FA on the email either.

Granted, no 2FA, but the main domain account does have 2FA so there is some measure of control over the e-mail accounts. |

Porkbun has very cheap domain hosting and you can add email hosting for $24 per year with a 10GB inbox. Domains get 10 free forwarding addresses, but I think the email hosting only includes a single address, as far as I can tell. Nice clean website. Based in Portland, Oregon.

I ended up going with NameCheap. The deciding factor for me was price and the webmail was actually pretty nice.
That said I was wondering if people preferred webmail or using a client? The NC webmail option is actually pretty good. I used a windows pc, macbook and an iphone thanks |

I realize OP has made his choice.
Buy a domain from any registrar, set the nameservers, and you're done with them. No need to limit yourself to a combined registrar/DNS/email host. Fastmail has excellent DNS hosting, and top drawer email. Just set the domain's nameservers to ns1.messagingengine.com, ns2.messagingengine.com, then do everything on Fastmail. If full-service email is your priority, that's the way to go. https://www.fastmail.com/help/receive/domains.html |

Yes I prefer this however I am a former Fastmail user and they are very good. I would consider going back to them or pobox.

There's widespread misconception about 'domain hosting'. The GoDaddy's and Gandhi's would love people to think that in addition to registering the domain name through them, giving them your DNS, web and email hosting as well is the 'simplest' and preferred route, if not necessary. Not at all.

Forwarding email from the domain provider is common but definitely suboptimal and awkward in use, which is what OP has been doing. Not simple. OP wants aliases, superior webmail, email import/transfer, the ability to point his domain to the company's facebook, and is willing to pay for a good service. The solution I suggested is simple, meets his needs, and gives all the flexibility in an email service he could want. Including many aliases (600!), subdomain addressing, WebDAV access to file storage, website redirects, and much more - extremely useful options not offered by 'all in one' domain sellers. Not to mention the superior 2FA & other security features. -- @rscaramelo - if you decide to go with Fastmail, all you have to do is edit the Namecheap NS nameservers to FM's as above.. you do not need to set an MX value.

Yes.
With FastMail you have full customisation of your DNS records (record types). With Pobox you can use Pobox DNS, but you can't change your records through the management interface. Only turning SPF on/off and redirection of a website is possible. |

https://webmail.gandi.net/settings/login You can now set up 2FA on both RoundCube and SoGO, also the ability to disable IMAP/POP/SMTP access. There is no way to set up an app password, however. It's also possible to set up recovery e-mail address and recovery codes. DKIM is also now available for GandiMail: Quote:

Dream host and something like that is a good option.
I can also recommended Tidyhosts, but I will be moving hosting from godaddy when the hosting deal stops there. |
