Our family have owned their own domain for around 10 years. We only use this domain for email purposes, long story short we all got fed up with stupid long email address names that the free services give.
Our hosting service has recently decided that for £69 a year they will allow us to continue using their service which comes with 250GB of storage, however they will now limit each email account to a maximum size of 3GB. So, they are more than happy for us to have 83 email accounts up to 3GB in size, but if we go a single MB over on any account they'll slap us with a further £69 to get their "unlimited" email package.
Currently we have 8 email accounts and only three of them are over 3GB in size.
Does anyone know of an email hosting only service, or web hosting service that has email, that does not have this stupid 3GB limit per mailbox and runs to around £70 a year?

sorted bySo pay once and forget about any future renewal fees (until the end of the world or until the end of the limited company).
Includes unlim web hosting with a ridiculous number of features, with no obligation to use it.
One-off £19.99 at time of post early June 2023

Meanwhile back in reality:
the referenced hosting appears to be a resell of an excellent unlimited 20i product

Such a long stupid email address.
You could just use the existing email address as a forwarded and not use any storage on it. I do it with an ancient F2S domain email from back in the day.
Amazon workmail works out a bit cheaper for me currently.
If you really want to save the pennies, yep you can get cheap webspace offshore, but you'd be responisible for backing up your own data, so need to weigh up the hassle, risk or losing data. You can check out the webhostingtalk forums.. the last one I used was a host called crocweb, they were pretty good at the time, but recently moved from cpanel to directadmin hosting.. but shouldn't affect email.
£48/year for a single email account
I have unlimited email addresses that are forwarded to the different 5 mailboxes.
Been with them for at least 15 years with very few issues. (edited)
Why not use a group WhatsApp or similar?
Works fine for any name at the front going to the same inbox (myself and my wife), but my daughter has a separate one. Was £22/year for each for 15Gb but has now gone up. The domain also has to be renewed every so often as well so it's getting to be quite an expensive option.
