I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

My domain's registrar is namecheap, i tried their email on a whim, i've had no complaints in the 7ish years I've been using them. Privateemail.com

I checked it out, looks like they don't support catch all and have an artifical limitation on "aliases"

For me, I think I would like to have catch all working without paying too much

I'm pretty sure they do support catch all, because that's what I have. Or at least they used to and I'm grandfathered in.

looked it up, seems like a quick setting:

I'm pretty sure I have the cheapest, one email address option with catch-all. I didn't set up any aliases.

Ooh, thanks for this. Yeah, I got confused by the pricing page

When marketing is directed towards normies and not nerds.
