Thanks Chris for your great videos. After your recommendation, I used privet mail to host my business emails. We have lots of issues. My clients servers always sensitive to our email and always warning them that our emails are external. Some clients does not get even the emails and I get return email. The customer service is very slow because the only way to communicate is email. They advise that I buy my own IP. It is a headache for me. And the most frustrating is the uncertainty about the emails reaching my client or not. I am not IT guy, I need to have good email service and move on to focus on my business not email issues. I do not recommend this private mail to any one.
Any email sent from PrivateEmail always goes to spam or junk when sending to Outlook (or Microsoft 365 Business etc). This is a common known problem. PrivateEmail servers have been blacklisted by Microsoft for years. Unless each recipient marks it as not spam, it will continue to end in the spam category.
My problem with Private Email is that I hate using it on their app or the browser, but when I try to integrate it to an email client such as Spark or Outlook, and it doesn't automatically integrate the Calendar. I'm sure there' s a work around but it's too complicated and whole other step.
Great video quick question about Google Workplace hosting do they have the ability to connect to other platforms via SMTP. From what I understand they no longer allow connection to less secure apps?
NameCheaps PrivateEmail continuously fails when I try to use Spark Mail. I'm using the settings found in PrivateEmail manual setup config and it keeps timing out. Any ideas?
Hmm, double check your settings and make sure the server name, password, and ports are all a match. Also remember that "username" in Spark is your email address. I've been using Private Email Hosting with Spark for years and it works great.
You missed all the amazing features of Fastmail, including extensive scripting support, and all the custom features which allow you to take complete control of how your email is handled, processed, and directed.
I'm trying to build a freelancer website right now. I don't know whether it could be changed to small biz or not. but the website builder plan is already includes google workplace. And website builder requires each website only binds with one google workplace. Should I try Namecheap one? I need a peaceful head I guess most people don't know how to hack that part. But bad guys did.
Question for you Craylor, do I need email hosting in order to facilitate email marketing. Like I plan to use mail chimp based on your recommendation, but I'm not sure if I still need to find a place to host my emails.
Last I tried it, it was pretty far behind as far as features on the online client. I think they’ve updated it since, but I think you can get a better value with Namecheap Private Email. Or, check out Skiff if you want a free solution.
Great vid. Question, is the account owned by the company or employee? If company owns the account can the administrator get into the account if the employee leaves the company?
With a Google Workspace setup, the company owns the account. When the employee leaves the company, the company has the ability to reset the password from the master admin account and access the data. Private Email Hosting works much the same - whoever is the master admin holds the keys to all data.
I have a domain that has .tk extension can i get a free business email with it? Because i searched and found out that .tk extension is not approved in namecheap and zoho. Do you have a hosting website that approves tk extension?
Hey Craylor, This video was useful. But I just have a question is it safe to use Yandex Connect E-Mail hosting? I am using Yandex Connect because it’s free but I am not sure if it’s safe. Anyways I am planning to use Namecheap Private E-Mail. Thank you for the Vid.
Hey there! To be totally honest, I don't know anything about Yandex or if they are any good. If they support 2FA and aren't selling your data or anything crazy, that should be a good sign of safety.
If you mean shared hosting email as in email hosting included with your shared web hosting account through cPanel or equivalent, lots of people do utilize this hosting. I personally don't like it because you're sharing an IP address with hundreds of other websites, and those websites could be sending out spam mail in large numbers. Whenever you run email and websites on the same server, there's a much higher chance of the IP being blacklisted when it comes to email, and it ends up with your emails going to spam way easier. This has just been my experience.
I've been with Namecheap since 2007 and while their domain registration pricing is very good, I am not at all happy with their privateemail, especially over the past 12-18 months. It's been down a lot more than it should be, it's buggy and the amount of spam that inboxes is incredible. I spent entirely too much time building filters to stop spam. I would not recommend at all. I'll be moving my accounts.
You should have stuck with Namecheap. Now you’re selling out to Wix, which costs an arm and a leg for us small business guys. Disappointed. You should have left it alone after your first Namecheap video.
Jeff, I'm sorry you see this as selling out to a company. I vet all sponsors before I take them on, and my own craylor.media website is using Wix.com. It's not for everyone, and for a more advanced user like myself, I prefer WordPress, but I still appreciate the simplicity of Wix when you need a complete drag-and-drop website builder to just get the job done quick. With that being said, I still use and endorse Namecheap for all the same services I did before this video.
