A quick scan will show it ofcourse. But it stops bots and stuff just hitting “known” ports. I’ve not had any issues in the months it’s been active compared to the previous month’s I just used the standard port

I do. I run it behind a caddy service so it’s secured with an SSL. The port is running on a high non standard one. I do keep checking access logs but haven’t had a peep apart from the 1 person I shared it with

I do this on my home network which has a Dynamic IP. I wrote a script which I cron to check and update it if it changes https://github.com/MajesticTechie/CloudflareDynamicDNS

Skip intro is being built into it natively so this is likely the groundwork for that

I found this the other day: https://revolt.chat/

I have yet to deploy it but from what I’ve seen it’s a discord alternative

I also suggest cPanel. You can get a web host with Cpanel from about £20-£30 a year.

setup emails, wildcards, host a site, let’s encrypt options, etc. May as well get the most bang for ya buck.

I’ve never seen a message denied for DNSSEC. It may be a thing they do in the future, I do think all domains should use it but it’s not something that’ll deny a message.

Mail-tester is just for outbound deliverability, nothing else. DNSSEC is really just for security practices. That doesn’t really effect outbound deliverability though which is always a bigger concern for me.

Try using this and sent it a test mail: https://www.mail-tester.com/

It’ll check blacklists, configuration, DNS and mail content itself for any issues

I’ve just deployed a Synapse container to work with matrix/Element, only because that’s what the guide I was using suggested. Is there any benefit to switching?

The only port I open is for wireguard. That way I can access all services on my LAN. Wireguard is also very secure and requires keys based authentication so is hard to brute. It also allows me to secure myself if I ever need to join WiFi or an untrusted network

Honestly any service that offers cPanel can allow mail hosting and a catchall.

If you just want a basic IMAP/SMTP service with nothing fancy I know these guys do allow catch all mailboxes https://hostinguk.net/email

As far as I’m aware this won’t be possible. You’d have to rebuild the site from scratch and manually copy images and text over.

As for SEO, I would expect a lot of the meta data to change since wordpress will be interpreting a lot of that.

As long as the domain stays the same, you could would probably get away with redirecting links, however I would expect your ranking to drop for a bit after the immidiate move regardless.
