Not for everyone, but self-hosting isn't so bad.
Question about self hosting a mail server at home - if my internet goes out at home, all mail sent to me during the outage would be undeliverable, right?
For a paid host, what would be a reliable and cheap option?
You usually can't fully self-host a mail server (like literally in your house) because most residential ISPs block port 25 to prevent spam/abuse. You can use a third party relay service like what Helm offered, but most people "self host" via a cloud provider or a web host.
