Notes

  • This is a paid service and I debated bypassing it in favor of a Lambda function that forwarded incoming emails to a Gmail account.
  • There are pre-built solutions available out there for this Lambda function but in the end, I opted to fork over the $4 / month. (Seems so wrong to pay for email. Are we spoiled?)
  • Set up was pretty straightforward, you just follow the prompts and voila you have an email address in your very own domain.
  • The most difficult part was copying and pasting the DNS entries into Route53Amazon service for purchasing domains and managing associated DNS entries. but once done everything worked as expected.
