Overview

Mail Server VPS

Self-hosting email with Mailcow or iRedMail on a Linux VPS gives you complete control over your domains, mailboxes and data — with a dedicated IP and no per-mailbox SaaS fees.

With full root you deploy a full mail stack (SMTP, IMAP, webmail, spam filtering) and configure the DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) that keep your mail deliverable. Reliable deliverability requires correct DNS and IP reputation management.
