Ask HN: Cheap Email Hosting?

7 points·ed_elliott_asc··6 comments

Hi,

I’ve been asked by a very small charity to set up email hosting for about 5 people with a custom domain.

The main thing is cost, they won’t ever receive lots of emails and they need to keep costs as low as possible.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks

In no particular order:

https://mxroute.com/

https://purelymail.com/

I have a Migadu account for a single domain and thinking of using them to replace my Google Workspace free account but also looking at the others.

Thanks!

My personal solution is 100% free: 1) Redirect all domain email addresses to my Gmail account for free with ImprovMX.com 2) For the SMTP service: mailersend.com (12k/mo emails sent for free)

GMail works as the email client for receiving and sending emails.

Hope this helps

https://tutanota.com is cheap and supposedly good for your privacy.

https://www.gandi.net/ is a good cheaper alternative if you don't care about privacy.

https://protonmail.com is a bit more expensive, but also worth mentionning.

[[Zoho mail free for 5 addresses.][https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html]] Setting up the MX records has good tutorials so it all doesn't end up in spam. also there are wildcards, so that 5th account help@domain.io can receive admin@ service@ boss@ sales@ .. all those.
