Hello,
I face a problem. I have already paid for an email plan to my domain name provider. Do I have to transfer it to point Digital Ocean in order to use it with my own mail server.?
Or is there a possibility to use it as is, and avoid creating a mail server (which seems tricky for me)?
Note here that I own a 512 ram droplet and I do not intend to upgrade it.
