Email advice

hobhobuk

Hey,
So recenetly setup a VPS (Vultr) with WordOps. Had come from a managed VPS with cPanel and EasyEngine.

Finding the new setup much better and managing it myself easily.

My domains are with Namecheap, which I just have the basics with, no email services.
I wondered whats the best way to go about setting up email on my server alongside Wordops?

Or if people would advise another route?
Ideally I just need the emails forwarded to my main domain, but eventually that will come over to this VPS too, so it may be wise to actually properly setup email with that in mind. As while I can forward currently, eventually both domains will be in the same situation.

I know email can be rather demanding on a VPS, I have 2cpu and 4gb ram at my disposal. So unsure if will have a impact on sites. One of my wordpress sites can be a little more demanding than usual. But I have found even on 1cpu and 2gb ram the site mananges. So maybe not as demanding as I think.

Thanks

hobhobuk It won't be a wise decision to run a Mail server on your own as it doesn't only increase your efforts and maintenance but also have an effect on the overall server performance.

I would suggest you looking into MX Route ( https://mxroute.com ) which is a dedicated E-mail hosting with very affordable pricing. You can use their service to set up the custom emails, forwarders for the unlimited number of domains and can utilize their SMTP for outgoing emails on your WordPress site as well.

They also offer Lifetime Promo for $99 as long as you're good with the 10GB Storage.

I have been using their services for 2 years and it works just great.
