What are some subscription services done right? (lemmy.umucat.day)

This question just came to me while I was buying a subway pass. It's priced very well, provides a very good service, doesn't suffer from enshittification, and its price increases very rarely.

What are some other services which people don't mind subscribing to?

Similarly I always think that a domain name with unlimited mail forwarding addresses (aka aliases) is amazing; a .eu domain costs me around 6-7€ a year with Bookmyname - old timey interface but all I need it for is to add more and more aliases :)

Which service do you use to have the alias? I use mailbox.org but the number of alias are limited.

[–] pipes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I use the mail service included with the domain at Bookmyname, they give you 2GB that you can split between multiple mail accounts, and unlimited aliases that can also send (they are called Identities in K9mail and other programs, you have to add them to send).

The aliases still end with your domain name - for more privacy you can nest them for example one alias to receive simplelogin mails, another for 33mail, ecc.

BTW mailbox.org is a great choice too, probably simpler to use but it costs a bit more.

I also have a domain with bookmyname but I didn't know about the mail service included. I'll have a look, thank you.

Correction, it's 3GB split between 20 mailboxes max. Most info is in the FAQs: https://en.faqs.bookmyname.com/enfaqs/services#section111

IIRC some things were/are badly translated from French :D hmu if you need help with smth
