    > I already knew Google didnt offer email or telephone support

For those who still haven't moved off of Google for important work, let this person's story serve as your final warning and get migrated to another platform with good support.

Which one would you recommend?

Depends on which Google service.

For email and calendaring with a custom domain, I've moved over to Fastmail (after much recommending from HN) and it's been great.

For e-mail, I can't recommend migadu.com enough. Great plans, very reasonable prices. The interface is a little clunky but you get used to it.

migadu is amazing, however be warned, even if you pay they dont want you using their service for things like automated emails for your SaaS past the bootstrap phase. They are actual people behind the support email, with fantastic response time and very human qualities. it's hard to explain but they want your business and it shows with every tough.

I use Zoho for email with my own domain, it's free and the UI is quite clean.

They also offer calendars office etc but I don't use it.

I also use Zoho, as well.

I am thinking about using Fastmail for quite some time, and now migadu has entered th race.

Zoho has one of the most no-nonsense set of products.

Unrelated: I have heard that Zoho also does not care about degrees when they hire, and they have mentored and trained people from very disadvantaged backgrounds into capable SWEs and hired them.
