Does the name have to be registered with Zoho first?
I have a long account history with GoDaddy, so I just jumped on a cheap domain for my latest project without realizing email wasn’t included anymore.
It’s unfortunate because GoDaddy has been a decent domain provider for us for over 10 years. We have domains connected to services across AWS, Google Cloud, and Digital Ocean, and never had any issues before with their domain services. It was always great to buy a domain, and have a free included email out of the box that we could set up as a help/support catch all box.
For very cheap email plans with POP/IMAP I use Zoho and Namecheap.
