Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain (lemmy.world)

Hey guys,

after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it's probably better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun.

Now I saw that Porkbun doesn't offer catchall emails so I can't use it for my usecase.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small business.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

What about Microsoft 365? The tenant itself is free and per account and month you pay about 5-10$ (depending on sibscription level).

With this you have the full MS Exchange experience, you get 1TB of OneDrive space and all the shebang.

If you care at all about privacy I wouldn't reccomned M365. Because: Schrems II and MS use your information for their own purpose, and in effect is not compliant with fx GDPR.

I couldn't get it set up to allow each of my family members to have their own email address on the domain. It was basically the opposite of the "no catch all" feature other hosts seem to have - Outlook custom domain was 100% catch all to 1 account. I very quickly undid my partial setup and am back in Google for now.
