I want an email with my own domain. Email with Zoho Mail or Cloudflare?

[Cleaner98]

Hello. I currently have a website that I successfully migrated (after troubleshooting several issues), and I’ve been able to activate SSL certificates using Let’s Encrypt. The website is working perfectly, but there’s one last step I want to activate: a corporate email. I’ve been seeing that they no longer offer that service for free and that you must use a paid version. However, I also see that they strongly recommend using Cloudflare for this. I think it’s a good option, but I’d like to know if I can skip that service and go with Zoho Mail, but I’m having trouble verifying DKIM. I remember a user in a post saying they were able to successfully activate it in Zoho Mail on this forum, so I wanted to confirm whether or not this is feasible. On the other hand, I have no problem using Cloudflare, but I have my doubts about whether my website will go down since their tutorials tell me to change the DNS, which seems strange to me since I am currently using Infinityfree’s, which are the ones that support my website and also because of the SSL certificate that I have active and that works thanks to the configuration I have for the CNAME records.

Use CloudFlare to bypass this restriction

A Full Guide To Cloudflare

Hello, I will show you how to easily set up Cloudflare, Edit Records, and Troubleshoot with images! PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!!! Cloudflare cannot be used on free subdomains from InfinityFree. You can use Cloudflare on Custom Domains (yoursite.com) and with Custom Sub-Domains (subdomain.yoursite.com). A video tutorial can be found at the end of this guide, should you get stuck. You must connect your domain to your InfinityFree account first. Read more here. Set-Up Cloudflare Go to Dash…

Thanks for the reply, but you didn’t address my concerns: Regarding changing the DNS (ns1.infinityfree.com ns2.infinityfree.com), won’t that bring down my website? Isn’t that the link to use Infinityfree hosting? Also, won’t that break my SSL certificates? If you could elaborate a little more so I fully understand the process, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Using our nameservers is easiest, but you can use our web hosting along with third party DNS hosting, if you configure the right DNS records. We don’t provide full DNS controls with our hosting, so if you need more records than our hosting allows, you’ll need third party DNS hosting.
