Porkbun Email Hosting Alternative for Growing Teams

Porkbun is a favorite registrar for domain investors. Its email products suit light personal use; teams that need admin roles and an API often outgrow them.

What registrar email is good for

Porkbun offers email forwarding and sells low-cost hosted mailboxes alongside its domains. That works well for one person who wants an address on a domain. Teams usually start to want more: admin roles, several domains in one place, delivery logs, and a way for their product to send mail through an API. Check Porkbun’s current plans for storage, price per mailbox and features before deciding.

Questions to ask as you grow

• What does it cost at your real team size, not for one mailbox?
• Can an admin create, suspend and recover mailboxes for staff?
• Is there an API for receipts and password resets, or a separate bill for that?
• Can you see why a message bounced?
• Does it work with the desktop and phone apps your team already uses?

Switching while keeping Porkbun as registrar

You can keep the domain at Porkbun and move only the mail. Replace the MX records in Porkbun’s DNS editor with the ones from your new host, add SPF, DKIM and DMARC, and verify. OquMail is free for up to 15 mailboxes, with webmail, IMAP/SMTP and an API. See how to migrate business email without downtime for the order of steps.
