What emailing service do you prefer?

I am looking for an easy to set up, affordable emailing host (to set up, for example, mail@custom_domain.com)

G Suite is good but for me it looks a bit of an overkill, I do not need all those features and integrations they provide, just a secure and spam free interface to send and receive mails

    I'm using privateemail from namecheap, it starts at $0.91 per month and well, it works!

    I am using pingly.com and it has been great so far.
    You should give it a try.

      I like their interface!

    A rather good email hosting is porkbun.com. If you haven't bought a domain yet, you can also buy one at porkbun.com and setup your email hosting all from your dashboard. So far, I really like what they're offering.

      It seems I can't use their email hosting plan without having a domain with them? And thanks for the reco!

    I've paid for Fastmail for the last 5 years and still have nothing but good things to say about it.

      Thank you Noah! I will have a look at Fastmail. What do you love about it most?

    If you have a lot of emails to send you can always try https://email-hawk.com

      Thanks for your reco. But $1000 p.m? No please 😹 (I understand the need though, I won't be sending that amount of emails for now)

    I use Migadu for my domains, it's a great no-bs service. Fastmail is also good, but a bit more expensive (or a lot more of you have multiple users).

      I was sold! But I think the no. of emails sent per month are quite few, this makes their plans a little more expensive

        It depends on what you're doing I guess. If you're sending marketing or transactional emails then it's a bit limiting, but for normal human-to-human communication, even 100 emails a day is a lot.

        1. 1

          Yea, for normal communication, 100 is a lot. I meant to use it to send marketing/transactional emails.

    A bit late to this but I thought I'd contribute anyway.

    I'm using Zoho Mail for one of my domains. It's free for one domain, up to five users, and you get 5GB of storage per user.

      Thanks @f13th! I had a Zoho account but somehow it got blocked. Tried reaching out to their CS, who were resposive but the issue never got resolved. I could've easily created a new a/c, but anyways, I moved on.
      Zoho is a good alternative though. But I have to say I eventually settled for G Suite at 6 USD a month. Not bad. I'd change if I get a better one though.

      1. 1

        Do you know why it got blocked? Could you access your emails after?

        1. 1

          I actually don't know why! It was ling before I opened that Zoho a/c. And I didn't have Zoho mail before, so there were no emails lost
