What are you using to host your email?
I use the basic Google Workspace Business plan to host my email, but the price is increasing from $6/month to $7.20/month in a few days.
I also want to get away from Google services as much as possible.
Right now I'm considering using Amazon Workmail since I use AWS for a ton of things, though I guess that would put me in the AWS ecosystem.
What do you use?
Have used fastmail.com for 6 years (with a custom domain). No complaints. Web/mobile apps work fine. Would recommend.
Sign up for a year and get it at a good price I think Google workspace offers slight discount.
At least that’s what I did
iCloud with custom domain. I only use Google for my company email domain and office.
3.25€ per month plus domain(5€/y): a small vserver with postfix, dovecot rspamd. Aliases come from postgres
I’ve been using MXRoute, which is about as inexpensive as one could expect (~$40/year for a storage tier, unlimited domains and accounts up to that storage limit). It’s been rock solid reliable for the last few years, but it does require a bit of DNS knowledge to really setup properly.
Google Workspace, really considering moving, though sadly means I'll lose the Google account associated with it (and all the google services that belong to that Google account)
Protonmail for the last 4 years. They have come a long way. I’ve also bought into their ecosystem— vpn, mail, storage drive.
gmail for government / bank / "official" stuff that I can't loose
fastmail for a mailing list / sports team thing that I help run. local hockey league stuff. someone else set it up but it works fine and we keep using it.
protonmail for personal email, previously tutanota before that
FASTMAIL number one hands down
iCloud+ with custom domain. $0.99/month
