Scrolling down the thread wondering why GoDaddy is not getting any attention.......... Then I saw your reply and my heart sank!
So do you recommend I switch to someone else?

@devve
Same things as everyone else except:

My ISP uses CNAT so I can't just open ports or dynamic DNS. My solution is a tiny VPS running nginx as a reverse proxy connecting back to my home server using tailscale. Tailscale was super easy but the reverse proxy was not trivial!

Also host my own IMAP server collecting all my email using getmail. Keeps all my messages on my home machine but much easier to manage than a fully fledged email server.

Special mention to: ntfy, Monica and Pairdrop!

@beigegull @devve Totally agree that your email is basically your de facto identity online. I didn't have the heart to fully host my own mail server but I made the decision to ditch gmail and use my own domain with a hosted provider. I am hosting my own IMAP server so the plan will be to work my way up to where you are eventually...
