"Even with the maximum discount that Oracle can give (70%), we saved million of $$$'s" :D
I use yandex because they offer free custom domain email hosting.
Same here, would definitely recommend it. It's interesting to see this video - especially how Yandex Mail comes together.
Also don't forget about free DNS hosting with API: domain.yandex.com. Might be useful, I made dyndns-like setup using this API once.
I do the same but with zoho. Any advantages in using yandex?
I had switched from Zoho to Yandex about a year ago. For two reasons: 1. Yandex has infinitely more usable web client. 2. Email forwarding that actually works. Every couple of months Zoho decided to stop forwarding for some weird reason. I had to re-enable it through its unusable web interface, every time.
I am surprised to see at 8:04 that "Not very responsive service". Oracle charges a lot of money and their support should be better.
I still think Oracles is two engineers thinking about b-trees and then several million sales people.
You're completely mischaracterizing Oracle! You forgot about the lawyers.
That's the pre-layoffs Oracle, they've cut the engineering staff since those days
