I use Easydns with several domains. I have used mailmaps on one and easymail on another for several years. I am happy with both.

    Hi Tara,

    We bundle 3 and 5 IMAP boxes with standard and pro dns packages
    (domain reg + DNS + email) for $35/year and $55/year

    And yes, we support + addressing.

    We've also implemented SRS on your email forwarders.

    Thank you all for your responses.   I am happy to pay some, but
    switching to google workspace with what I need would be 36$/month
    so looking for a cheaper option than that. Yes Google says there
    is a no-cost option available but I did look into it and it won't
    work.

    Biggest problem I'm having is that no one states in their
    advertising or FAQs if they support "+" addressing.

    Is anyone using the following services and can confirm if they
    support  "+" addressing or not?
    Dreamhost
     ZOHO

        Announcements about this from Google say that a "no cost

        wait a bit longer to see what that is. It *might* be a
        recommendation to move your domain to Google Domains, where
        you can get up to 100 email addresses forwarded to your free
        Gmail address. <https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3251241>

            A while back there was a thread about the best place to
            host small biz domain email but I'm looking for something
            even smaller.

            I've got my personal domain hosted on gmail.  It's been
            there for more than 10 years and was grandfathered into
            their free hosting tier.  In June GMAIL is doing away with
            this plan and going to charge 5$/address per domain per
            month.  I've got dozens of addresses setup so this really
            isn't a good/affordable option anymore.

            Where would you recommend hosting your domain so that you
            can pop/imap, use "+" addressing, isn't spammer friendly,
            and basically works similar to gmail? I no longer have a
            website setup, so mail is the only thing I care about. I'm
            fine with a solution that has me setting up a new gmail
            account and just popping the mail to there, but what are
            folks using these days?  (assuming I have no desire to run
            my own server)

            Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Hello Tara,

I've used Dreamhost for 15 years for family and a few friends' personal email and web sites. DH accounts support inbound plus addressing - just tested sending from gmail to one of my accounts.

Dreamhost now do ingress and egress mail filtering via Mailchannels MXes (in my experience it occasionally catches a handful of false positives, worth checking the spam folder periodically but it's made a decent positive improvement to spam reaching inboxes. They also proactively monitor for any mailbox compromise or outbound spam through accounts.

I recently recommitted on a three year plan as I blagged a decent price. Current introductory pricing for new customers is pretty good. I've hosted with them since 2007 and their service has been pretty solid throughout without price hikes.

Their tech support is much better than it used to be - they started to scale up around 2009/2010 and struggled with some growing pains, but they dealt with it and shared hosting service has been good for years. (see dreamhoststatus.com <http://dreamhoststatus.com>) They've implemented some nice security improvements behind the scenes and still offer things like SSH which can be useful. Their mail hosting was also migrated to bigger, newer infrastructure a while back which improved performance.

Support is ticket-based unless you pay for premium support, but they're actually helpful and responsive after a ticket is assigned to someone. I've very rarely needed to contact support over the last 15 odd years. Obviously all their hosting is in the US which may have GDPR/data export implications for commercial use.

Shameless referral link: https://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?264181 <https://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?264181> though feel free to go direct.

I host other personal and business services with various providers, including Mythic Beasts who have always provided gold standard service. But that's for VPSes I still have to manage and maintain. Compared to a specialist dedi/VPS provider, Dreamhost shared won't win site speed awards, but it's perfectly fine and they do offer optimisations and one-click installers for popular stuff. Certainly for my email needs, DH has always provided what I wanted.

I generally use afraid.org <http://afraid.org> premium account for external DNS, keeping an eye on any occasional changes they might make to hosting or mail infrastructure (as they will sometimes update default records automatically on the assumption you are hosting DNS for your domains on their NS). DH will still notify in advance if critical things like MX or IMAP access is changing, which itself is a rare occurrence. For most people Dreamhost's DNS management panel will be more than adequate.

Protonmail also support inbound plus/sub-addressing as I believe does Outlook/Hotmail.

Cheers
Chris
