Interface is nice and clean, uptime and service super reliable. They've just been super reliable and mature for me. Same setup as the comment you're answering to. Notes are about the only thing I don't use, but my encrypted Joplin notes are actually synced to the Files section on Fastmail via WebDAV since Fastmail also offers you decent (At least 10GB if you have a standard plan, which you need for a custom domain) of WebDAV accessible storage along with email. Off the top of my head, the aliases, the sensible (vim-like) keyboard shortcuts (g for search folders, j-k for navigation, etc.), built-in caldav and carddav support are the things that make life easy on a day by day basis. I get to use email aliases, catchalls and a mail system which can automatically file mails before I have manually written a single rule. Switched everything over from Dreamhost after 14 years or so in 2020, and the only thing that would make me happier with Fastmail would be for them to have global holiday calendar syncing (This is the only reason my Fastmail account is linked to a dummy google account - to sync holidays!) If something goes wrong with your account or domain at the registry and they try to contact you, you don't want their email to you to get eaten by whatever problem they are trying to contact you about.Ĭustom domain (current registrar: namecheap)įastmail for email, Calendar & Contacts hosting with DAVx5 & Fastmail App on Android, If you own domain X and use it for email, you probably don't want to use an email address as your contact address for the registrar you registered X from. If they go out of business more than 10 years before the end of the term they purported to sell you, those remaining years will go poof.Īlso have on your calendar reminder for #3 a reminder to check to make sure your contact information still works, particularly email. The registrars that offer more do so by doing 10 years with the underlying registry and then automatically extending that every year transparently to you. Some registrars offer even more, but the underlying registries generally only support 10 years. Generally, you can start out with 10 years.

That way you build an association in your mind between that other stuff and extending the domain, making it further unlikely that you will forget. I'd recommend for #2 picking a date that you do other annual preventative stuff on, such as changing your smoke detector batteries. For making sure it never expires, I recommend (1) initially buy it for multiple years, (2) every year on your birthday (or on Christmas, or on some other date that is significant to you) add another year, and (3) put a recurring entry on your calendar a week or two after the date from #2 to check to make sure you remembered #2.
