“The way email is normally used today has several
serious limits that I recently explained in another article. I also
pointed out that one of the biggest obstacles to personal email
management is lack of user demand for Virtual Personal Email Server
(VPES) software and hosting packages. A VPES may run into any
computer in your home or in some external datacenter, but that is
another issue. Here I only want to look at the software side, that
is to explain what are, in my opinion, the technical requirements
and features of the perfect VPES. You are welcome to add your own
in the comments and, if you’re a hosting provider already offering
VPES, to add a link to your offer in the same way. Web hosting
providers only offer… web packages“Today, hosting providers (including those who “sell” virtual
machines with full root access) offer packages that are optimized
for easy set up and management of websites: bandwidth, virtual RAM,
disk space and therefore price of those offers are only dimensioned
for people who want to publish online some content. The only choice
you have is between “cheap but slow and small website” and “very
expensive, but very big and fast website””
