i love 33mail. I've been a user for years and I think it's amazing.
I pay for it, and I have a custom domain (several maybe?) and use that in addition to the default free @___.33mail.com subdomain.
People often ask me about my custom domain and ask how they can do the same thing for themselves.
I explain it, and they are interested, but they never do it.
I think there's too much friction for non-technical people. Most people in my life have never registered a domain before. They don't know what an MX record is. Even for someone technical, it takes some effort.
If there was an onboarding flow for that paid plan that looked like: "make it easy for someone who has never registered a domain to get a custom domain set up with 33mail" I think that would be huge.
That experience might look like:
1. Hello, user! Please pick a domain! ____
2. Tell me where to forward all your emails: ____
3. Enter your credit card number: ____
4. Click "save"
Tada! Now anythingatall@thatdomaintheyjustregistered.com
forwards to their email address!
Then you register the domain for them. You're either a registrar or you work with a registrar. You control the DNS for them (or maybe it gets added to your 33mail dashboard so they can add A records or whatever).
I love your service. I want it to make 80k/mo. Y'all have provided me a lot of happiness. And I've been pleasantly surprised when I've gotten support email responses from y'all.
