    ISPConfig (text)
    Does anyone here have experience with ISPConfig as a server control panel? It seems fairly stout having been around for many years and still being actively maintained. The features are extensive and includes everything you'd expect from a modern control panel. I think one downside might be the installation process. I'm considering using this for some of my client websites but not sure if it's worth the hassle of getting it installed.

    Webhosting Email Accounts Question (text)
    Hey-o, I'm curious if anyone has experience offering email accounts to clients using their own domain such as [email protected] we offer our clients Google G Suite but at $6/mo it can get expensive. We also offer Zoho but that's still $12/year/user and can add up. I'm aware of the nightmare that is handling mail on your own servers. I'm just curious how other web hosts handle this?

    Thanks!

    What hosting provider do you use and why? (text)
    Title says it all. Who is your current host and do you like them or are you looking elsewhere?

    I currently use Digital Ocean mostly for side projects. We use AWS at work and we've used Linode and Rackspace in the past.

    Ugh, I've been here before on an antiquated Perl environment with terrible documentation. I feel your pain. Sometimes trying it in different ways or seeing the other ways can help. I'm not sure what the specific issue is and don't have too much time to dive in. And I'm sure you've seen this version from the OpenPGP website, but I'm going to post it here for you and anyone else who it might help figure this out:
    const openpgp = require('openpgp') // use as CommonJS, AMD, ES6 module or via window.openpgp await openpgp.initWorker({ path:'openpgp.worker.js' }) // set the relative web worker path // put keys in backtick (``) to avoid errors caused by spaces or tabs const pubkey = `-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- ... -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----` const privkey = `-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK----- ... -----END PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----` //encrypted private key const passphrase = `yourPassphrase` //what the privKey is encrypted with const encryptDecryptFunction = async() => { const privKeyObj = (await openpgp.key.readArmored(privkey)).keys[0] await privKeyObj.decrypt(passphrase) const options = { message: openpgp.message.fromText('Hello, World!'), // input as Message object publicKeys: (await openpgp.key.readArmored(pubkey)).keys, // for encryption privateKeys: [privKeyObj] // for signing (optional) } openpgp.encrypt(options).then(ciphertext => { encrypted = ciphertext.data // '-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE ... END PGP MESSAGE-----' return encrypted }) .then(async encrypted => { const options = { message: await openpgp.message.readArmored(encrypted), // parse armored message publicKeys: (await openpgp.key.readArmored(pubkey)).keys, // for verification (optional) privateKeys: [privKeyObj] // for decryption } openpgp.decrypt(options).then(plaintext => { console.log(plaintext.data) return plaintext.data // 'Hello, World!' }) }) } encryptDecryptFunction()

    Oh cool, I'll look into o365 too. I'm looking to be a Zoho partner but they've been sitting on my application for a while now, not sure if it's going to happen. Thanks for your input!

    Cool, I'll check out iredmail. I've seen many guides online and they seem simple enough to establish on your own server, but I've read many stories about emails being flagged randomly and not being delivered for no reaso. Maintaining and keeping this up to date on hundreds of clients is out of the question.

    Do you own a hosting company and set this all up manually for a lot of clients? I'm really interested in a solution that has been proven to scale with the number of clients. It seems the only solution may be a paid third party.

    Sweet, thanks for sharing. I've heard of ramnode, never used them though. When you get support like that and with those cheap prices, they're tough to beat!

    Interesting. I bought a full rack mount sell R610 server a while ago to do just this. But after learning how much power it consumed to keep it on 24/7 I quickly gave up. Was a fun experiment though. Do you just use a desktop, or do you have proper server hardware?

    Ah yes, Netlify is awesome! I used them in the past with a simple Gatsby site. They made it very simple.

    Glad you're looking into it. I've got a rough week at work this week, but I'd love to help squash some of the bugs this weekend or next week during my downtime. I'll message you directly.
