I am really broke and have a lot of debt. I need a myemail@mydomain.com and all of them cost money. I have ~$250 Digital Ocean credit so I have free VPS. Also, seems like a good way to learn, although it might not be worth it as this problem has really been solved well.

edit: thanks for the information though. I saw some of these services when i was doing cursory research. This was pretty helpful.
