I own a .com domain. The domain is used by my entire family (11) for emails only. They each have their own email address at that domain. I do not have and do not need a website at the domain.
I currently pay a UK hosting provider £70 annually for webspace and for 2GB per mailbox.
As I do not really need the webspace, I was wondering whether there are any providers that allow me to use my own domain for email purposes only without having to pay for webspace I do not need?
Any recommendations are much appreciated.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52408891","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mail"},"datePublished":"2024-03-18T12:42:56.000Z","text":"You can set it up so it will work with GMAIL accounts for free, 15gb mailboxes (that share the size with your Google Drive).
