Rent a VPS in some democratic country. Run your postfix, dovecot, SOGo or RoundCube, for chat use ejabberd or other XMPP server, use owncloud or other similar piece of software. Or there are preconfigured GNU/Linux distributions which give you these features out of the box (but I usually configure these packages myself).

Ad TLD: there are many national TLDs, grab any, but choose carefully the company where you register it (someone outside USA).

Thanks, I'm a linux user. SOGo is an interesting piece of software, I'll give it a try. Any TLD you recommend?

I live in CZ, so I use this one, it is quite OK here. Also in DE is active free software community, so they might help you if some problems occur. Maybe RU or CN could serve good (if you don't fight against their governments, of course), but I don't have personal experience with these TLDs.
