Deploy a complete business email server on your own VPS with a single script — everything is packaged and automated. You own the server, the domain, and every byte of your data — no subscriptions, no lock-in.
Why not just use Gmail?
Hosted email is convenient — until you realize what it actually costs you.
Your privacy isn't theirs to sell
Big providers scan, index, and analyze your business email. Every contract, invoice, and client conversation lives on someone else's servers, under someone else's rules.
Costs explode as you grow
Per-user, per-month pricing means a 20-person team pays thousands every year — forever. Email is decades-old technology; you shouldn't rent it like a luxury.
You own nothing
One policy change, one suspended account, one outage — and your business email is gone. When you don't control the server, you don't control your business.
Everything you need to own your email
Mailship packages years of mail-server expertise into a product you can deploy before your coffee gets cold.
One-click deploy
Upload the package to any fresh VPS, run the included script, and walk away. Docker handles the rest — Stalwart mail server, webmail, everything wired together.
Auto SSL certificates
Let's Encrypt certificates are issued and renewed automatically. Your mail server is encrypted end to end from day one.
DKIM, SPF & DMARC built in
The hard part of self-hosting — deliverability — is automated. Mailship generates all DNS records and signs every outgoing message.
Modern webmail dashboard
A fast, clean inbox your team will actually enjoy. Manage mailboxes, aliases, and domains from one beautiful admin panel.
Multi-domain support
With Mailship Pro, host email for all your projects, brands, and clients on a single server — unlimited domains, unlimited mailboxes.
Full data ownership
Every email lives on hardware you control. No scanning, no mining, no third parties. Export, back up, or migrate anytime.
From zero to inbox in three steps
No mail server experience required. If you can upload a file to a server, you can run Mailship.
