Thank you for your comments. However, Migadu is not intended to be "cheap". That is not the selling point of it. We used to use Google Apps for multiple domains for our starup projects, ideas etc. Switching between these multiple accounts was becoming ridiculous and complex. Then, they made it $5 per account. We actually had many addresses but only two users. Our total cost of that would be measured in hundreds of $…

I agree that your pricing model is more user-friendly and it's more inline with your cost model (mailboxes are free to provide). It's why I clicked on it. I spent about 3 minutes given my browser history, looking at your homepage and pricing page. What I absorbed, after seeing your HN "email from $4/mo" and then your homepage, was that this was primarily about being cheap. Maybe I'm an outlier, but that seemed to be…

Thank you! Very appreciated!

This comes at the perfect time for me since I plan to move the mess of 4 domains with about 12 email mailboxes for projects, private and my family to a single more reliable service. Right now its on some Google Apps free tier from back when it was free and a cheapskate VPS hoster with terrible spam reputation and customer support. Just signed up for the mini plan and if it does in fact give me about 15 somewhat relia…

Seriously, take a look at Zoho.

With a single domain, or a single mailbox Zoho is a great alternative. If you run multiple domains though, why not spare yourself the trouble and complexity?

What is the backup and redundancy strategy? It has some mention of backups and maintaining copies of deleted emails for you, but what happens if the specific server your account is on suffers catastrophic failure?

Hi, thank you for your question. We do hourly incremental backups on external servers.

My primary email is not where I would start grabbing some pennies in front of the steamroller.

Agreed. Service looks good, but been with Fastmail forever and not willing to risk a change at the moment.

Would have not expect you to change either. Fastmail is awesome and a lot of respect for them. We're trying to learn from them all the time.

I'd classify Migadu in a different category. If you run multiple projects or just need extra addresses fast at no extra costs, you'd probably not go for FastMail. I can clearly see using them both.

I think the benefits of two factor authentication are pretty obvious.

Indeed. Since we started from scratch we were very careful about what goes in and what doesn't. Not trying to be ignorant regarding 2FA, but rather always prefer to hear the actual reasons. Nevertheless, thank you guys for all the suggestions, we will work to get 2FA in ASAP.

Would it be possible to consider adding security keys as a second factor of authentication? For example a Yubikey[1].

It's slowly being adopted by major players, Google, Github and LastPass to name a few.

This looks pretty slick and well done for having a comprehensive FAQ section and plenty of info which answered most of my questions. For me, email is the 'master key' for most of my online accounts (because password resets are done via email so if your email account is compromised an attacker can quickly leverage access to other services) and email security is top priority. I didn't see anything about using two-facto…

Just as an implementation note, one way to maintain compatibility with older devices while allowing modern ones to use better levels of security is to use haproxy on the front end. This can handle TLS/SSL itself or hand over to the correct SSL backend depending on the connecting device.
