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!

I have a couple domains that are very low volume for outgoing mail. I use Migadu. I'm happy with their cheapest tier ($19/year for both domains). They have catch-alls and many other nice features.

Edit: They have no hard limits on the number of addresses, users, or domains and such. They just want you to be reasonable. You choose a tier based on your average quantity of outgoing mails per day. Again, there are no hard limits; they won't cut you off unless you abuse the system.

I've been happy as well with migadu for the time I've been using it ~3 years. Have different mailboxes, and I used aliases for pretty much every website I sign up with.
