Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the questions readers send Qvantor most often, plus where to write if yours is not covered here.

Should beginners self host their own email?

Usually not as a first project. Email depends on reputation, DNS records and constant upkeep. We explain what it takes so you can decide with clear eyes.

Can I request a guide?

Yes. Send the setup you are stuck on through the contact page, with what you have tried so far.

Is Qvantor a product or a service?

Qvantor is a writing project. We explain infrastructure, email and self hosting in plain language and do not sell hosting or software.

Why write about game servers here?

Game servers face the same problems as any service: latency, uptime, security and community moderation. They make infrastructure ideas easy to see in practice.
