email / MX hosting - what solutions do you use?

Hi!

I currently host my own email solution dovecot, postfix, roundcube

I would like to migrate to a hosted solution. Of course I do not care about roundcube, I can use gmail for checking the emails, that is not a problem. But what do you use to host mailboxes for yourself and for clients, please?

I have found gsuite and zoho but they seem to be bit over the top for me. I want just MX if possible.

Thanks!

Practically any web hosting company will offer email hosting as a standalone service, that will let you access your mailbox via POP or IMAP.

I personally use G Suite (I was lucky enough to sign up when it was free). But even then, what you get for about $5 a month is head-and-shoulders over the bog-standard email hosting you’ll get for ~$3.

Thanks for responses lads! I did not want to go with domain provides and this is very client dependent. Gsuite seems like a bit over the top solution to me tbh. I have tried it 2 times and was just discouraged about the whole process.

I will look at Rackspace tough!

Thx a mil

I've used hover.com before, however I recently switched to Gmail which also integrates pretty good with Google Doc, Spreadsheet and so on!
