<div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div style="white-space:normal"><p dir="auto">Dear All,</p>
<p dir="auto">A quick question about your current preferences on an email host and simple web host for personal, non-commercial use.</p>
<p dir="auto">My requirements are as follows,</p>
<p dir="auto">- Due to logistical reasons I cannot self-host a box at home. Also, I would like to host my email and the static website with two different providers as a failsafe.<br>
- A host for the static website (for the website in the link below).<br>
- The static website is a personal website with negligible traffic volumes.<br>
- An email host/service provider that I can trust to provide IMAP service, aliases, use of special chars such as ‘+’ in email addresses, own domain, 2FA (if possible) and catch-all (if possible) without downtime.<br>
- My mailbox is currently at around 7GB and will not grow beyond 25GB.<br>
- A service provider that should have been around for a decade or more (not that it would guarantee that they would be around in the future, but being around a decade or more would suggest that they might be around for more than a decade).<br>
- In terms of price, I am looking to ensure that the combination of domain registration, web hosting and email service is between USD 70 and USD 100.</p>
<p dir="auto">Based on the current requirements, the following seem to be my options,</p>
<p dir="auto">Webhost:<br>
<br>
- NearlyFreeSpeech.net<br>
- Heroku<br>
- S3<br>
- prq.se</p>
<p dir="auto">E-mail</p>
<p dir="auto">- Gandi.net<br>
- pobox.com/fastmail.com (from the same group but with minor changes between the two)<br>
- thexyz.com<br>
- ProtonMail</p>
<p dir="auto">Please do let me know if any of you use these services currently.</p>
<p dir="auto">--<br>
Thank you,<br>
