I have my own domain (that I share with relatives), and use mailbox.org for hosting it.

I chose them after a rather lengthy search.

Reasons for choosing them(pros)

- multiple "payment accounts" can share the same domain (securely), which was my primary reason for choosing them.

I.e. I cannot access my brother's mail in any way, even if we share the same domain, because he is his own admin.

- you can pay extra for more space (i.e. additional storage on a per gigabyte basis)

- extra "domains" and "aliases" for the mailboxes are possible and free (for a given number dependent on your subscription level)

- German company (i.e. EU company, which I care a lot about).

- They seem like an old-fashioned unix company that respect privacy, so my risk of being data harvested or used for ai training seems miniscule

- They seem to be financially stable and (if I remember correctly) around 40 employees which is a reasonable size

- They have a full online office suit (which I do not use)

Reasons not to (cons)

- you pay per mailbox, not per domain

- their business plans starts to expensive for my taste (so my business domain is at another hoster) as the business is basically revenueless currently. Shouldn't be a problem, if the business is "real".

I want to stress, that I am only a customer, no partner or affiliate or receive any benefit of writing this.

How long have you been using them for?

I've been with Google Workspace for a few years now but I feel like it might be time to move.

That's a cool feature
