PSA: Web hosting with email can be cheaper for many inboxes than an email service is for just one email. You don't even have to use the web hosting part of it.
Proton wanted 6 or 7 euros per inbox. Hetzner web host with 100 inboxes was under 2 euros. I don't even use the hosting part of it.
But hosting your own email is a huge pain in the ass and not worth the time or effort. I would rather spend a few extra euros to save hours of my life trying to get it to work.
All you have to do is set the DNS records and stuff. It's not self hosting, you point it to their instance of webmail. It's an extra service that you get with the hosting service.
Does gsuite or Proton not require you to set DNS records?
Damn that's quite the difference. Worth considering yeah. I do want to be flexible though, so I hope it still allows you to switch e-mail provider without changing the e-mail address
If you own your domain, I don't see why not.
