This service is run by online buddies of mine who ran VPS hosting for a long time. I expect it to be pretty good, though I'm not currently using it. mxroute.com is also around and comparable, though I think it is only sited in the US for now. Cranemail also has a US location.

Posting because people have been asking about non-Google email. I'm not connected with the company, I just know some of the guys running it. They have an affiliate program that I haven't signed up for, though maybe I should ;). The above link is non-affiliated.

Edit: link is from May 2025, not brand new, still works.

I contacted Cranemail and they are a US company registered in Wyoming. Oh well. I think leaving your email on someone else's server isn't really the right way to do it anyway. It's gotten very difficult to self-host SMTP, but self-hosting IMAP isn't too bad, or you can just regularly pull and delete your email from a hosted IMAP, transferring it into your own and possibly making an encrypted backup.
