Hi. I am in over my head and asking for help. Around 20 years ago I had an email and domain name only package with Go Daddy. We have four email addresses for the family. It went from under 20 bucks a year to a couple hundred dollars a year. If it makes a difference, I don’t use the webpage, just the email. Go Daddy used to have their own email platform but now use Outlook online. On our phones we just use the email app.
I understand there are other companies out there that will host my email, but I’m not sure how I would switch to another company without losing all of my archives of saved emails. For each account.
I am in over my head. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. Is there any other service I can switch to that might be less money than Go Daddy that would allow me to keep my emails?
I have searched Reddit, but can’t seem to get a firm understanding. on our phones we just use the email app. I will appreciate any and all advice about how I can get what I’m looking for. Thank you so much.
Another option, depending on your device type, is to use a custom domain name alias provided by Apple’s iCloud services. If you pay for any type of iCloud plan, you can use custom domain names as an email alias. For your domain name, I would strongly suggest transferring it to Cloudflare. I moved all of my domains to Cloudflare and it was effortless. To use iCloud for your domain, you do have to edit your DNS records, but Apple provides guides on how to do so.
