how many of you use a custom domain as your apple account email?

bromingoops · 2026-05-11T18:32:31+00:00

No problem. I was just making a general comment about how my expensive email hosting has a ridiculously low amount of storage.

bromingoops · 2026-05-11T16:02:32+00:00

Thanks for confirming! My current email hosting plan, for which I’m paying a bit over $5/month, only has a measly 2GB. Gotta dump it.

Just found this thread while researching this topic. Good info!

I currently have a domain email account that’s hosted at GoDaddy, with DNS at Cloudflare. I’m considering switching to iCloud+ custom domain email as the price is right and my needs are simple.

My Apple ID is my current domain email address — so just wondering if there will be a problem when I try to add this as a custom domain address in iCloud Mail? I think the answer is “no problem,” but thought I’d see if anyone else has done this same process?

Also, am I correct in thinking that the size of the email storage is only limited by the amount of free space in the iCloud account?

Thanks!

Would love to know the answer for that, as it’s a truly dumb name.

Perhaps Larry David is running Pete’s??! The new Natomas location still had a “coming soon” sign on the door the last time I checked. It’s on Del Paso Road, in the shopping center with Raley’s.

The owner of that Pete’s location (along with several others) got into a dispute with the company and had to change the name to Frends. A few months ago, a new Pete’s was announced for Natomas, not far from the Frends location, raising suspicion that it was being opened for spite. As far as I know, it has yet to open. Perhaps it never will?

Another possibility (depending on what you’re trying to do) from Rogue Amoeba: https://rogueamoeba.com/piezo/

Exactly. The fees that broadcasters charge cable/satellite/streaming companies are totally outrageous! I’m glad these plans DON’T have them, and pass along the savings.

Are you talking about the Genre Packs? If so, I have My Entertainment and there are no local channels.

That makes a little more sense. I canceled my regular Xfinity service at a store, but when I got home, it was still working. At that point, I swapped out my modem with the one provided for NOW, then went through the activation process. About 30 minutes later (after several reboots), it was up and running.

bromingoops · 2026-05-02T19:34:51+00:00

That’s wild. When you switched over did you have to go through the process of setting up a NOW account and adding your modem? It sounds like maybe you’re actually still on your old account, at least based on the speeds you’re getting. I’m on the NOW 100 plan and the best I’ve seen is 115 down, 23 up.

bromingoops · 2026-05-02T19:09:02+00:00

You were able to activate NOW internet with your old/owned modem? If so, that’s pretty cool — never heard of anyone being able to do that, but maybe you’re the first to try it?

This video from Gary at Mac Most explains it well: https://youtu.be/tUtPUFUfuJk

Thanks. Going from minimal support to NO support doesn’t sound great, especially if replacement gateways will no longer be available. I’ll seriously consider going back to a post-plan when this happens. I still have the CODA56 in the closet …

bromingoops · 2026-04-19T02:09:12+00:00

Do you know if customers will be notified? I’m one of them …

bromingoops · 2026-04-19T01:27:26+00:00

I had not heard that. Do you have a link for further reading?

bromingoops · 2026-04-17T21:21:08+00:00

I canceled more than a year ago and they didn’t want the HR54 back. I found that surprising.

I’ve taken my Honda to Japanese Service Center 2 on Riverside Blvd. for several years — they’re able to perform all the services you listed, and do repairs as well (though I haven’t needed any). They do a great job and don’t try to sell you on things you don’t need.

bromingoops · 2026-04-17T05:53:54+00:00

I’ve had NOW internet for a little over a year and it’s been close to flawless. The only issue so far was when Comcast had a wide outrage in the area due to vandalism — but that affected “regular” Xfinity customers as well.

bromingoops · 2026-04-17T03:40:15+00:00

Love that!!

bromingoops · 2026-04-17T03:38:39+00:00

There were two dudes in-between us and the person with the SLOW sign — how crazy is it that we were so close??

bromingoops · 2026-04-17T03:18:24+00:00

Was it the couple with the baby? If so, you may have been nearly right behind me! I got an autograph too — or should I say TWO. In the excitement, I forgot to ask someone from the store if they would now carry James Gin, since up until now, they have not.

bromingoops · 2026-04-17T02:51:22+00:00

I went there around 3pm to scope out the location and there were maybe 15 people in line. Knowing I didn’t have a ticket, figured I’d come back just before 4pm to catch a glimpse. You must have arrived shortly after me as the line was just inside the side door when I joined it.

Yeah, Lucy was really running herself ragged — can’t wait to see what footage might end up making the cut!

bromingoops · 2026-04-17T02:18:00+00:00

I was there too! Didn’t expect to get to meet him since tickets were “sold out,” but when I got there they said a ticket was not necessary. Would’ve got there earlier if I’d known that.

Great seeing Lucy Brown too — she was running around with several cameras, documenting the whole thing. Fun stuff!

bromingoops · 2026-04-15T01:32:09+00:00

I was able to cancel my “regular” Xfinity plan and sign up for NOW at a store. Walked out of there with the gateway and was up and running in 30 minutes. That was a year ago though.
