If you have your own domain, I recommend Migadu. They take care of all the boring parts of hosting email, while being cheap and very reliable. All you have to do is[1] follow their guude to setup some DNS records and double check everything is right. After that, you have a working email account with unlimited addresses, inboxes and a bunch more nice features.
[1]: Besides getting a domain name, which you should get anyway, since it gives you more control over your digital identity and makes it much easier to migrate providers in the future.
Uh I'm not that tech savy but thanks for the suggestion .
I understand.
You could look into getting a domain either way, it really is pretty simple — you go to a registrar website (I like porkbun.com), choose your domain name and purchase it. To get the email stuff going, it's just a bit of copy pasting between their guide and the domain's control panel.
Like I said, this domain stuff is useful outside of Migadu and similar services, but for a more 0-config option, I think disroot is alright. You also have a mailbox.org and StartMail (from StartPage).
It's also cheap. Not free but their lowest plan is something like $12/year.
They also let you make unlimited aliases and even wildcard aliases which are great for making up addresses on the fly so you never use the same address with two websites, and fighting spam.
$19 USD/year for micro now, $90USD/year for mini
Ah cool. It's starts being very competitive very fast if you need more than one mailbox and/or more than one domain. Regular services will ask for something like $5/mo (per domain and per mailbox!) which adds up very quickly.
Wish more services used the "all you can eat" model. Charging for emails sent/received and for storage space is all that's needed. Charging for "mailboxes" or "domains" or "aliases" has always been a scam.
