What about email hosting? Gandi includes 5 email accounts with every registration, while most other registrars charge for each account. Email is a basic need.

No. I hope they never offer email hosting. It's distracting, messy work that is already handled well by numerous other companies.

It is a basic need, but they are pretty distinct features. Registrars today sprinkle features such as email hosting, authoratice DNS hosting, email forwarding, SSL certificates (lol, I know), web site builders, etc for more profit.

I really hope CloudFlare registrar will be a proper stripped down registrar. They offer you domains for the wholesale price, and it's too much to ask for email hosting.

The POP and IMAP mail services most registrars throw in are services Internet users would be better off without.

I wouldn't be surprised of they just offered you referrals to Google Apps and Outlook 365. Email is a mess, no one in their right mind would try to get into that business. I guarantee you there are thousands of email servers out there that some small providers want to kill off but can't because it's legacy and impossible to force customers off.

Ok, makes sense. I learned about https://opensrs.com/services/hosted-email/ from another thread.
