Ooof! Well at least now someone has read my blog (•‿•)

I was just thinking this side-thread was a bit OT. And in my book, there are worlds of difference between Google and using Algolia’s custom HN search, which is really awesome IMHO. (I use it myself multiple times per week.)

But what the heck, I’ll bite and share my recommendations.

I personally prefer this setup:

• Google Workspace for email. FastMail seems to be a very popular alternative, I’ve never tried them. There’s also Tuta and Protonmail but personally I’m not interested in E2EE email. (I much rather use something based on Double Ratchet for comms that need E2EE.)

• Cloudflare for DNS. There are lots of solid options here. E.g. AWS Route 53.

• Dynadot as my registrar. Porkbun seems to be a solid alternative.

HTH!
