@RyeNCode@mstdn.ca I'm currently with CrocWeb for hosting. They're located in Ontario. Their Cloud Web Hosting plans are very generous and actually surprisingly great so far (~6 months). But I've only used their web and DB services, no email, so I don't know if that's any good. I was with Astral Internet a few years ago. Located in Quebec. Great experience with them too but they're more expensive so it didn't make sense to renew. And I didn't try their email either, sorry!

@RyeNCode@mstdn.ca Oof, yeah, good luck getting any support from Google. That's basically my fear about self-hosted mail, or even using a smaller host. I'm currently on Google Workspace and I definitely want to get off that, but I may try to find something that's still relatively big/popular for peace-of-mind. As a first step, anyway. 🙂

@RyeNCode@mstdn.ca That's a lot of great suggestions, thanks! I do need to figure out an alternative to GitHub. Might look into Forgejo for that. 👀 Mail is a tough one for me. I think I might stick to hosted mail to ensure uptime, and so I don't have to worry about security and whether my server is set up properly for anti-spam (both for incoming mail and how other servers perceive mail coming from mine).
