Nov 10, 2026, 5:28 PM@erikvorhes I like Fastmail. I’d avoid Proton for a now growing list of reasons. If someone is all-in on Apple, I’d consider the iCloud custom domain feature for reducing the number of vendors’ security they’re dependent on.

Erik Vorheserikvorhes@typo.socialNov 10, 2026, 5:41 PM@acdha — with you on Proton. Thanks for the other recs! You’re not the only one to suggest iCloud custom domains.

@erikvorhes yeah, it's interesting how much we tend to talk about domains as if you really need to get the hosting right from day one but the greatest benefit from having a custom domain is that it's so easy to switch providers. I know a few people who used iCloud and figured they'd switch if they outgrew it but haven't.

@acdha — for sure! Like I have a domain that has used Google stuff for years, and I’m loath to extricate myself because it would take a lot of work, but it’s not like I can’t do it!
