In this video. I discuss how imortant it is to ensure that your communications are delivered, whether to your clients from you, to you from your clients, or even from your automated systems like authentication, support tools, monitoring systems and so much more. We discuss the pros and cons of self hosting email in 2024 and beyond, as well as the benefits of using a service like Purely Mail. As always, my goal is to help us get our MSP, or any other business up and running with as little up front cost as we can.

I have no affiliation to Purely Mail, and the link below is just to their main site. I have no stake in you using Purely or any other solution.

I do have affiliate links for Hover (which I use in this video for my domain name and DNS services. If you use it for your domain registration, I'll receive a credit from Hover. You can also sign up to get an affiliate link with hover, and I recommend you do so, as this can benefit you as you help clients sign up for domains in the future.
