Instance admin just lost their job, might need help
Mstdn.social is one of the largest and nicest instances on the Fediverse, run by an enthusiastic admin called @stux
Unfortunately Stux has today found out that they are fired from their day job 😞
However, by happy coincidence, Stux had just set up a hosting company. If you need web hosting, domain names etc please consider using Stuxhost so that Stux can continue working:
@FediFollows @stux what is the cost for a mail 📬 Server? Domain is my own.
I think these are their email prices?
@FediFollows @BollerwagenPicard
I'm creating new email-only packages with lower prices
It's the same as hosting only smaller and limited website caps!
I have unlimited bandwith, email accounts, forwarders etc but I do gonna set max inbox site
What would be hood for email?
-500MB
-1GB
-5GB
or something?
@wizzwizz4 @FediFollows @BollerwagenPicard Hmm.. I can create something like that or use the resller service I also offer with 10GB
@stux @FediFollows I use 7gb currently
@BollerwagenPicard @FediFollows That’s quite some mail Inc attachments I guess?
@stux @FediFollows never deleted many Mails... And Mailingliste
@stux @FediFollows @BollerwagenPicard i delete mail from the remote after retrieving, but my stats. i'd estimate that my gib/# email ratio is quite higher than normal because i send and receive lots of images and other attachments.
@stux @FediFollows @BollerwagenPicard You only need something like 5GB if you're keeping all your emails on the server, or if you get a *lot* of email. If Stuxhost supports something like IMAP, I don't see a reason anyone should need more than 500MB (enough for 100 max-size emails), unless that bandwidth is *truly* unlimited.
Then again, I barely use email and am unlikely to ever get an email-only plan, so I'm mostly trying to invoke Cunningham's Law.
