Google’s G Suite is no longer free — here are the best alternatives (Updated)
Womp womp!
Pay Google
Microsoft
The Seattle-based tech giant can offer youa slightly cheaper solution at $5 a month. This will get you access to a 50GB inbox with an option to use your own domain name for it. Plus, you’ll get web and mobile versions of Office apps, and 1TB OneDrive storage.
Zoho
If you’re looking for something free, Zoho’s email service is the closest you can get. It offers email hosting for a single domain for no cost, but comes with 5GB/user and 25MB attachment limits.
Rackspace
This US-based company offers email hosting for custom domains for a starting price of $2.99 per month. However, for $3.99 per month, you can get 30GB of storage and ActiveSync across all the apps.
