If your goal is to write one, there is a really good chance that you'd want neither. But either might make sense. But it is not that simple.

And popular is not a good test, because that just tells you what devs have experience with. .NET apps are the most popular, but least appropriate in general.

Deciding on the kind of app always comes down to what you are writing and what you want to do with it. No amount of other resources will tell you which is appropriate.

I would suggest a PWA. A Progressive Web App.

These are generally considered cross platform, though I’m sure there will be some platform specific options.

If you’re thinking Windows only, definitely stick to a UWP so it can run in Windows 10S (limited to MS store only apps)

Definitely not that simple.

Why not expand upon that for the OP?

I did in a second thread that he created. And the bottom line is, we have to know WHAT he wants to build before we can answer anything usefully. Popular is totally useless in this context. We don't even know what is an option here.

I need to give this another go. They give some good PowerShell examples on building and monitoring a setup. At the time I tested it, there weren't any PS commands available for modifying anything. To make a change you had to wipe it & start fro scratch again... :-S

@manxam said in What email service do you use for your small business?:

I've had really good success with MXRoute for small orgs.
They provide next-to-no support (and are open about that in their FAQ) but, in 3 years of utilizing their service, I've never required it.

Their pricing and the services that they offer are excellent (i.e. webmail via horde, squirrel, and roundcube. Spamassassin, global and local filters, relays, imap(s), pop(s), alternate imap/pop ports, caldav, zPush, etc)

For one of my personal projects I have a 30gb 5$ / year account via a discount code I found on VPSCheap, though I do use Exchange for my business due to better calendar/contact/Outlook integration.

One of their current offers:

Storage: 100GB
Features: Unlimited domains/email accounts
Server Location: Dallas, TX

Price:
Monthly: $5
Quarterly: $10
Semi-Annually: $20
Annually: $35
Biennially (every 2 years): $60
Triennially (every 3 years): $90

They kind of get you with the storage. Really cant imagine "no support". Even with Zoho you get some support for free accounts.
