Slap Forward Email on your new domain and you've got email. https://forwardemail.net
Super interesting! Does this allow you to send from said email as well?
Yes, of course.

I just got a domain for the first time yesterday, and decided to go with migadu.com instead. You can forward mail to/from gmail with it basically the same, it has a very low sending limit on the free plan (but I'm not sure if that applies to mail forwarded from gmail), and it claims to attach a footer on the free plan (like forwardmail.net does), but it doesn't actually seem to do so to mail forwarded from gmail. htt…
There is absolutely NO footer on the free plan. Where are you getting this information from? Are you just making false attacks to support your own service? I have reported you to moderators.
Perhaps I misinterpreted this line in your faq?

Note that the "free plan" comment was about migadu's service not your service, migadu only ever adds text to the email on the free plan (as far as I can tell).
PS. The link in the TOC to that line in the faq is broken, presumably because of the extra dash before "in".
PPS. I have no relation to migadu except that I just signed up for it. The first time I heard of it was yesterday.

Be careful with namecheap. I used to use them for everything (and still have several domains registered with them), but one of my domains was a short word on an obscure TLD. This year they increased the price by 15x, and support tried to pass the blame by claiming "the registry decided it's a premium domain." The registry may decide whether a domain is "premium" or not, but I had no issues transferring it to Google D…
Can you clarify if this was a gTLD or a ccTLD? Being so used to standardized pricing with .com's, this never even occurred to me as a risk. For anyone unfamiliar with premium TLD pricing: - it's common for .com's to be sold on the aftermarket for high prices but the renewal prices are standardized. So if I invest $36k on buying appletini.com, I know I will be able to renew it for ~$10/yr. - gTLD's like .land or .tech…
It was the .club gTLD

How long did you have the domain registered before they changed it to a premium domain? That seems like something that might violate the base registry agreement. Section 2.10(c): > The parties acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 2.10(c) is to prohibit abusive and/or discriminatory Renewal Pricing practices imposed by Registry Operator without the written consent of the applicable registrant at the time of th…
It was registered in 2014. I didn't care enough to try and fight them about it after talking with customer support, and Google domains was cheaper anyway.
EDIT: I sent an email to ICANN asking about this issue since I still have domains registered with namecheap. I will update here if they respond.

Migadu also limits you number of going mails a day. This is insanely bad practice, not to mention... have you read their Terms and Privacy policies? Steer clear for sure.
> Migadu also limits you number of going mails a day.
So does gmail (in their case to somewhere between roughly 150 and 500 depending on how you use the service). So does basically everyone if they don't want to get marked as a spammer and have their emails not delivered.
Migadu billing based on the number of emails per day is novel (to me), but having a limit is normal. Billing based on emails per day seems reasonable. The limit isn't strictly enforced either (per their website: https://www.migadu.com/en/drawbacks.html).
> have you read their Terms and Privacy policies
I have. They seem both reasonably short and not at all obnoxious. What issues do you have with them?
Re: One-Word Domains
#106I love/hate these kind of projects. On one hand they give amazing suggestions and prove useful to small scale devs like me and others coming here. On the other hand, a few weeks from now most of them will be snatched by squatters, essentially rendering them useless for small scale devs like me and others coming here.
Hahaha, I'm sorry about this! I've come to realize how this site can be used with malignant intent - even domain registrars could be stalking this site and bump up the prices for domains that people have been viewing a lot. I guess I can just hope that these things don't actually happen and that I've built a tool that can help people find their dream domains. :')
Yeah, showing the number of views is against the interest of people looking for domains.
Re: One-Word Domains
#107Hi Steven! Nice work here and I'm really inspired by the design, especially because this is your first web-app from scratch.
I've always wanted to learn frontend programming/ design but am intimidated by CSS/ Bootstrap since there are too many screen sizes to take account of. Could you recommend resources/ links to learn more about frontend design/ programming? Thank you!

#109Thanks OP.
Just picked up impartial.app - might try a just-for-fun side project and hook it into some sort a decision making algo and/or crowd-sourced vote.
Premise: User can't decide something and must enter N possible options, then have the app pick the winner.
Twist: The user doesn't ever define the problem, just potential choices.
a) $20,000 b) Snowball it c) Propose d) Cupertino
Impartial.app says: __________
Re: One-Word Domains
#110Too bad this only goes to godaddy and namecheap, both of which upsell you on whois guard privacy.
I'm considering adding a few other domain registrars like Domain.com, Porkbun, and Iwantmyname. Which one would you recommend to add first?
Namecheap probably got rid of privacy upsells because they had to. Namesilo is my favorite. They've had whois guard privacy since at least 2017.
