What it is
Mailcow is the complete self-hosted mail suite: Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, and SOGo webmail in one dockerized stack. Your domains, your mailboxes, your data, with a real admin UI over all of it. Here it comes paired with what self-hosters usually cannot get: a managed server underneath and, as an add-on, MailChannels carrying your outbound.
Minimum RAM
6 GB
Fits on SC-6GB; SC-16GB is the comfortable pick with room to stack.
What we install
The playbook deploys Mailcow dockerized per the official documentation, DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR) prepared with you, TLS issued, and the stack placed behind the managed network so port 25 life starts on the right foot. With the MailChannels relay added (from $8/mo), outbound mail leaves preconfigured through our authenticated gateway, so your first message delivers like your thousandth.
Every plan includes
Instant hostname with TLS, database created and wired, daily snapshots, firewall and IDS. Fully managed at no extra cost: our engineers run the whole server for you.

Why here
Why run Mailcow on RemarkableCloud.
Your own private VPS
Not a container on a shared box. A real virtual server with dedicated resources and your own IP, and nobody else on it.
Stack apps, one price
Add as many apps as fit on your server from the client area, in one click each. No per-app charge, ever.
A 500% SLA that pays
1 hour down = 5 hours credited back, automatically, from the first minute. While others credit after thresholds, we credit from minute one.
Non-oversold hardware
Enterprise dedicated infrastructure, 100% NVMe, resources never sold twice. Your Mailcow performs the same on the worst day as the best.
Humans since 2001
Real engineers answer, at any hour. Twenty-five years of running production servers, and no chatbot wall between you and them.
Free migration, done by us
Moving an existing Mailcow site? We migrate it, verify it, and hand it back running, at no cost. Your old host stays live until you approve.
Built for
What people run on a Mailcow VPS here.
Your domain's real mailboxes
Company email on your server: IMAP, SMTP, webmail, aliases, on a domain you fully control.
Leaving Google Workspace bills
Ten mailboxes on Workspace costs more per year than the server that hosts unlimited ones here.
Privacy-first email
No scanning, no ads, no third-party processor between you and your mail.
Calendars and contacts included
SOGo brings shared calendars and contacts, the Workspace features people forget mailcow has.
The details
Mailcow here, in plain words.
What does managed Mailcow hosting include?
The whole suite deployed correctly, DNS done properly the first time, mailboxes in daily snapshots (twice offsite with Dual Backups), and monitoring on the queues. Mail is the most operations-heavy thing you can self-host, and this is a host whose differentiator is mail operations.
Why self-host email at all?
Unlimited mailboxes at flat cost, aliases and domains without per-seat pricing, and mail data under your jurisdiction. Per-mailbox SaaS pricing makes a twenty-inbox company pay forever for what one server does; Mailcow makes mailboxes free to mint.
Is self-hosted mail deliverability hopeless?
Not on infrastructure built for it. Deliverability lives and dies on IP reputation, correct DNS, and authentication, which is precisely the stack we run for a living: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and rDNS set up as part of the install, on network space we keep clean. Test it yourself with our deliverability tester afterward.
How big a server does Mailcow need?
6 GB of RAM is the official requirement and the catalog respects it: the suite runs a dozen services. SC-8GB is the natural home, with room left for an Uptime Kuma watching it.
How does a brand-new mail server deliver from day one?
Because with the relay active, outbound never leaves from a cold IP. The relay is an add-on from $8/mo. Your Mailcow arrives preconfigured with our gateway as its smart host, every message relays out through MailChannels on reputation that is already established, while inbound arrives directly at your server and its own filtering. DKIM stays yours (Mailcow signs, the relay preserves it), and your domains add one SPF include, include:_spf.protectedserver.net, which stays valid even as we grow the gateway behind it. Heavier senders pick a larger gateway package in the cart or later from the client area.
Everything around Mailcow, in one honest list.
Everything unmarked ships with every plan. The starred items are optional paid addons, priced plainly, added in the cart or anytime later.
* Optional paid add-on: Dual Backups or the MailChannels relay. Management is included on every plan at no extra cost.

How it works
Seven systems working so you do not.
Every managed server runs the same stack underneath. Pick a system to see what it actually does.
Issues end before you hear about them.
Every minute, we check more than 200 parameters of your server and its services: web server, database, mail, disk, memory, and the network path to it. The moment anything drifts out of range, our support staff is alerted, investigates, and fixes it.
This is internal monitoring, deeper than any public uptime check: it watches the inside of your server, not just whether it answers. Most incidents are found and fixed by our staff before anyone outside ever notices them.
- 200+ parameters checked every minute
- Alerts reach engineers, not ticket queues
- Inside-the-server checks, not just ping
- Humans respond in minutes, any hour

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM does Mailcow need?
6 GB minimum per the Mailcow documentation, and the resource meter enforces it. Large mailbox counts or heavy filtering move you toward 16 GB.
Are mailboxes backed up?
Daily snapshots cover the full stack: mailboxes, settings, and DKIM keys. Add Dual Backups for two offsite copies. A deleted mailbox is a restore, not a funeral.
Will you help with DNS?
Yes, all of it: MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and reverse DNS are set with you at install, then verified with a real send through our own testing tools.
Does the gateway read or store my mail?
It relays and filters outbound in transit, the same as any reputable smart host; your mailboxes, archives, and inbound flow live entirely on your server. Newsletters and bulk campaigns are a different traffic class with their own rules, so keep those on a campaign platform rather than the mailbox relay.
Why a managed Mailcow instead of running it on a bare VPS?
Running mail alone means being your own sysadmin, deliverability engineer, and blacklist firefighter. Here the pairing does that work: humans patch, monitor, and back up the server, and the MailChannels relay (an add-on) carries outbound reputation, so the part of self-hosted email that usually fails, getting your mail actually read, is handled from the first message. You keep everything that makes Mailcow worth it: your data, your domains, unlimited mailboxes, no per-user fees.
Will my mail actually reach inboxes?
Deliverability is DNS discipline: correct SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the install generates the records, you publish them) plus a clean IP, which non-oversold infrastructure helps keep clean. Our deliverability docs cover the checklist, and Fully Managed includes our help.
Can I migrate existing mailboxes?
Yes, imapsync moves mail from any IMAP host preserving folders and flags. We run migrations with you on Fully Managed; DNS cutover is the only visible moment.
Is this Mailcow on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Mailcow runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
