A whole lot of people are learning about the hazards of centralization in email lately. First Google turns GMail into a slow-loading nightmare for weaker computers like mine, then they announced the closure of Inbox. Now 40 million people are without email because Zoho couldn't keep up with registrar consolidations (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18060013).

Zoho is fine as a service, but a domain suspension shouldn't cut tens of millions of people off from email.

I agree this is unacceptable. We are figuring out ways to make this more resilient - we host third-party domain mails, and we could map those domains directly without involving our domain. That could be one solution. We have learned a serious lesson here.

Steal GitLab's business model and let people/companies self-host their own Zoho.

Nothing about self-hosted licensed software is unique to Gitlab, it's been a standard business model since the software industry started decades ago.
